About stops... I don't know what Frosty's system is. But he can place stops to limit the impact of "negative outlier trades". About trending days... There are different styles of trading systems, some can be trend-following.... some can be counter-trend... some can be pairs... some...

Interesting how people expect to become a system trader without the ability to program... How do you run "appropriate tests" to start off with? SIMPLY Amazing.

Structural edge. I have never seen or heard of a algo telling the firm to buy an exchange membership or implementing a new technology (eg. AI-based News Sematics Analysis) to expoit a specific edge. ............................................................. - In terms of statistical...

Another post... There has been some talk about sample size. The usual approach is to keep things flexible. 1. The general / conceptual tests should be tested in a large sample size with years of testing. For example, testing if MA crossover works or not. (There is no decisive measure...

I've posted about this a few days ago. I don't think Frosty is looking for a solution. As a matter of fact, I'm guessing, he doesn't see any problems arising because the model has been working for a week. It's very similar to a discretionary trader dealing with a losing position, hoping...

Good insight. Successful bots HAS ALOT TO DO WITH or emphasize about strong risk mananananananagement. Though, this is to an extent of having the approapriate and sound strategies (doesn't necessarily have to be about having an "edge")

How funny? Does it taste like Fanta Orange or Mello Yellow? :confused: :confused: :confused:

:D :D :D So you're saying Frost (and all the other newbs in ET) is worth less than a McPloyee? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Frosty, Here's a few assumptions from the thread replies you've given. 1. I'm guessing that your execution platform is working as it is supposed to. Due to the hypothetical (test) results closely resembling the live results. Also, this can be said with the testing platform itself. So...

The deal gone through with an international bank... I will not be a Fund Manager soon and I'm happy... I can finally concentrate on the technical side of trading... Also, my time to post in ET is ticking... (I don't like PMs too... :p)

:) Very interesting... Another form of changing "market(ing)"... :p A question: "Are floor experiences that significant?" Or should I ask the clerk next to me?

... brings back old memories where Turtles first came out of hiding and Tradestation 4.0 ruled.... It's funny how we all go through a very similar learning curve regardless of the time...

Disregarding speed, all backtesting platforms do the same thing. It's a matter of having a deep insight on how "trading works" and avoiding common pitfalls on testing.

*yawn* Don't try to act smart by making this over-complicated. OP is answering his own question with his post. He can only answer for himself.

I've seen Peewee Herman pick up chicks with his superbike...

I understand where you are coming from. More than all the licensing... There's plenty of offshore funds I know that will allow you to trade remote (anywhere in the world) and take care of all the licencing for you. They will take care of all all the regulatory and operational stuff for...

It's very interesting to see how people are single minded. I'll stick around for just concentrating on the trading side of hedge funds... Definitely. It's alot easier to control risk when thing are coded and automated. You already have a market risk to consider. Adding discretion will...

:eek: :eek: :eek: Great... go tell that to the DoL. Did you actually have a question? or is this another whiner thread...

Dude... if you're asking questions like that you shouldn't be posting opinions like you know what you're talking about. The answer to your question is depends. Each country has it's own guidelines of required licensing and how the business is conducted. Licensing depends on how the fund...

No. You will have 2 seperate corporate entities in this case. One in the US. The other in India. In the US, you are firing 9000 people. US. DoL will account the #s for this. In the India, you are hiring 9000 people. Indian DoL will account the #s for this. You are dealing with 2...
