>> Did I get everything right? Your post is full of words like "wage", "job", "labor" which means you are seriously confusing "employee" with "entrepreneur". I've zero interest in the former, by all means I'm not holding a gun to anyone's head to take my offer, there are a zillion jobs out...

#1, #2, #3 is the intended roadmap, with the problem that I'm stuck at #1 since quite a while. I'm carrying on regardless, but essentially getting un-stuck is the reason I'm considering a cofounder. >> One of the keys to success is using other people's time and expertise. Precisely, I've come...

I plan to do exactly that in about a year from now (in the meantime I'm saving the money and exploring other options).

I might reconsider. Like constructing a profitable strategy, this whole cofounder thing is a tentative into the unknown. It takes tweaking and feedback to find the thing that works :)

I think by "work" he means the soul-sucking, brain-killing, corporate 9-to-5.

A thousand bucks :) The reason I'd be able to live on $1000 per month is because I'd be drawing an additional $1000 from my savings. It's true a person can' live on $1000, but they can on $2000 (of course not in Manhattan), and still this sort of venture isn't for everybody, certainly not for...

Good for you. Cheers!

Did you FIND those profitable trading strategies? If so, you wouldn't need to talk about about commercial stuff. Like NoodleStrudle put it, you wouldn't give up your edge. If you don't have an edge however (more likely), then what you do is still a lot of babble with little results. I too have...

Well, I did realize that :D No way I'm paying them since the incentive is totally skewed in this case.

There are a few things that I have to say on "talent" and the way everyone claims to have it aplenty. Objectively, the only proof of talent I consider valid is someone who makes money trough their strategies. someone here noticed that for every single job in the industry there are thousands of...

I did use words like "hypothetical" and "unicorn" for this mythical creature I am looking for :)

I've been pushing this long enough now to realize it sounds easier than it actually is. One problem is I also got a wife and a 5 years old kid, and they too require some attention (read: time). I arranged with my wife that I'm giving them the weekends provided that I have the weekday evenings...

Really? It wasn't immediately apparent to me that most posters here are retired / self-employed. (Apart from the "Options" forum, I also post on "Programmers" and I'm willing to bet the majority of them are still working for the man :) ).

Fan27, you can see from my latest post that I need someone working full time on research. And he'd need to be pretty familiar with the topics in: .

So I need someone of roughly equal capabilities to bounce ideas off. It's what I'm doing currently, but realized it's very inefficient working on it as a side project with a full time job. What would take me 1-2 days of intensive, full time work, can take over a week due to having to spread it...

I'm focused on arbitrage strategies right now, so no market-making. Perhaps at some point in the future...

Basic idea is: a) I'm paying $1000 / month for someone to work full time on developing an OPTIONS trading sytem (hence why I'm posting this in the options section of this forum). This is the "hiring" part of the title. b) I'm in no hurry to throw those money out the window, so what I'm looking...

It's not charity and you get 40% equity, therefore I'll enjoy ripping you off, exactly what the world so far has done to me. I'll post more rigorous differentiation criteria in the next days.

See my "leap of faith" thread in "programmers" section where I'm offering $1000+ / month for a me++. (Which obviously means I'm ripping my enhanced version off ;)

>> I coded a simple ThinkScript to perform the following on SPX. If anyone here is to have a chance against the Wall Street boyz, you're gonna have to do better. Complex at least because simple doesn't cut it.
