I suspect this has to do with the qvasi-perfect uniform distribution of a large portfolio of stocks. If you get monkeys to throw darts at a chart (and pick stocks randomly), you'd get wins =~ loses so ignoring commissions and fees, they'd break even. DOING A BILLION TRADES A DAY! Now if these...

Thanks, I might try this college students thing actually.

And by the way if you feel you have the skill to develop profitable trading strategies then: a) You either are currently working for one of the big names, then you definitely have the skill to develop profitable trading strategies just like you say you have but in no way can I compete with your...

Lee wasn't a bidder. In fact I'll remove #b allthogether from my post. Therefore no: b) Asking on those $5000 / month, on a 4 years contract, for an R&D position. I think I'm grossly overestimating if I say software industry is 0.5% bidders and the rest are asking. So no asks please.

On your own money, feel free to do better.

Based on the guy's posts, I wouldn't use the word thinking here and also don't think it's worth thinking too deep yourself on the significance of his ramblings. Reminds me of a movie about a simple minded gardener, who somehow ends up in the proximity of the President of the United States and...

Assuming is making an ass out of you and me (ass-u-me). So you're choosing #b, and the main problem of someone considering your offer (any offer in general) are those assumptions.

Fan27, I'm already working with a guy who coincidentally does exactly what you do. Seems there's a rush towards machine learning, the buzzwords never leave us alone :P Anyways, I'm kinda skeptical but I'll get to see what his platform does and for the moment, given I'm also working on my own...

By the way, to appease the moderators here (Robert Morse?), those $1000 are necessarily in "equipment". Which is not so great when you have to pay salaries but on the other hand, that's $1000 / month of broker connection, which I eventually intend for market making and literally, at some point...

This is an upgrade from my previous thread in that: 1) I'm upping my absolute offer from $1k to $4k. 2) I'm lowering my contribution from 100% to 25%. The purpose of the business is to beat the casino where we can identify it's weak points and ride the horse as long and hard as it can take...

Here, Mac:

Depends on your definition of "risk free" but buying options is roughly there. Same as buying sports bets: supposedly you've let the money you're paying on them off your mind. You can't lose your house like with levereged short positons so that's as "risk free" you can get in this business...

Me: My net connection is so slow, I can barely watch porn, let alone HFT. (HFT support guy): You've so much a 1st world problem. Come back when the toilet doesn't flush.

So generally, rejecting my complaint on the grounds that half the world doesn't even use toilet paper to wipe their ass while I use a bidet, is not a valid claim under EU legislation. Romans used to wipe their ass with reusable sponges soaked in vinegar. You may have this conversation: (Me)...

Well, I'm a Michail so definitely. I'm not whining for a place at the bottom, I'm pointing out problems at the top. That doesn't mean I'm not making top dollar. I'm just pissed it's not top++ * 1000x.

I hear you Van_der_Voort_4 but you haven't lived in NK, Russia, Romania, one of those countries that "anything you say can and will be used against you" ( https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/if-youre-not-with-me-youre-against-me.321159/ ) Think of me as an authetic (certificate) guy whose...

Reminds me of this blog post: https://blog.codinghorror.com/this-is-what-happens-when-you-let-developers-create-ui/

>> $8 billion years Fuck slap me next time when I'll point towards my discovery (which you guys had a small part in). Everytime "they" (The Powers Be) ask me for an estimate I'll quote like $100 trillion years. I can optimize time or money but not both. Feel free to do better.

This is a quiz. Let's all laugh and go home, that is. My algo so far ($8 billion years give or take). 1) Don't expect anyone but myself to carry further. Not that much of a problem given #0. 2) The dollar sign is not a typo. 3) Profit!!! #4: ... What's your algo?
