Noone replied nothing so I'll carry on with my train of thoughts. The bid-ask spread observation ( https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/bid-ask-spread.317871/ ) is valid not just for recruiters but 100x more for the crowd they recruit for. Intuitively it makes sense, they're just the tip of...

Nothing to see here, move along then.

It's a thought example. I've put $500k as a more significant sum since $50k seems to be pocket money for most of you. The idea is you put a large amount of money into a business which later may or may not get reimbursed and most likely you'll need to pour much more money anyways, like $1M...

Thanks for your help on this issue. It's clearly a problem caused by the acquisition & rename.

I'll give you $500k reimbursement later if you pay out of your pocket for an investment now. Are you in? By the way, I may change my mind at the end. Ahh, you signed a contract with me? U sure you read every word of those 500 pages and respected every one of them to the letter? What, you're...

They're https://www.historicaloptiondata.com and already got in touch with their support (amazing, since it's weekend), told me about the ROVI thing too. They provide dividends and splits but not corporate actions at the time. Will follow up next week. Otherwise I've had no issues with them...

You're painting with a broad brush. Take Russians for instance. They're probably the most imbecile people on the planet, just watch some of their YouTube videos. At the same time they're probably the smartest people on the planet, just watch what they were / are able to do.

Well, I suppose they may not like bad publicity. Being a developer myself also, I tend to be more lenient than the average on these issues :D For now I sent them another mail with about the same contents as listed here. If still no answer, I'll try by phone. Then we'll see.

Can someone who's got a historical data subscription help me out with clearing out an issue? My provider (will not name it here yet) does have some inconsistencies in it's data. Raised the issue in the past by sending a mail to their support and got radio silence as response. Perhaps I wasn't...

I'm gonna apply to financing all by myself. I can come up with $50k over two years out of my own savings. Will hire two math/comp-sci juniors and train them into quant devs, have them extend and improve my backtesting & auto trading software and most importantly ramp them up into "miners" of...

Getting a visa is a formality but staying for longer periods is more problematic, I think. Not that I want to do that but I've got colleagues who are more eager to travel. Previous employer was headquartered in Los Angeles and current one is in Santa Clara, so not much travel to Chicago but...

Sorry to have to point it out but it's called "irony" and it's actually a subtle form of humor. Looks like Texas guys get it though, so not everything's lost :)

Or Southern. Could be Greece or even Italy :D Does it really matter afterall? If you're US-ian, gotta be honest, this is fairly accurate. How Europeans view US: http://i.imgur.com/8ySWs.png

OK, I tried with the traders, didn't get trough, I'm getting back to my world which is you, programmers. The state gives you a non-reimbursable grant worth $50,000 out of a total of half a billion dollars budget. So you're only one of the small fry that gets it. The idea (of the state, the...

Anyways, always have a plan B as alternative for the $50,000 plan A. Better even, a plan C. Professionals always do ABC actually: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/always-be-closing.asp

Anyways, let me come back to the original idea of this post. I'm getting $50,000 in sponsorship money from a government programme designed to help startups. I'm putting $50,000 of my own money in the game *in addition* to my work in a strategy R&D software that I'm getting a lot of interest in...

>> So... 50k isn't a lot. Neither is 100k. 50 bucks per month is nothing either. These are likely all to be shit platforms. Amen to that bro, you seem to know your doing. So.. from my initial $2M team, I'm the only one left in Eastern Europe due to a conjecture of things, not the least being...

>> So... 50k isn't a lot. Neither is 100k. 50 bucks per month is nothing either. These are likely all to be shit platforms. Small and medium sized HF's probably don't want a custom developed system, because of the ongoing cost to keep it running and that you'll be reinventing the wheel for most...

Question: if I rescinde by tomorrow the willingness to talk about these things, can I have a reasonable guarantee that Magnum or one of the admins will remove my posts? I can edit them in a certain amount of time, I know.

>> If you only have 3 or 4 users... why the trouble? Because we only had one user initially and they managed $1B+. Firm used to throw $100k+ parties where the only goal was to get another client. But you get the idea.
