    Removing the golden handcuffs

    I started off with my current company in support helping customers debug their apps which used the SDKs we sold. Next worked as "Buildmaster", in charge of packaging all of our SDKs and apps into installers. Then spent quite awhile working on the company internal systems (CRM/ERP, etc)...

    Removing the golden handcuffs

    Great advice! The project is self funded so the goal is to find out as quickly as possible if the project is a go. There will be several logical points in the next few months which will be proceed/pull the plug points so it is possible I might not wait until the end of the year. The main test...

    Removing the golden handcuffs

    Thanks! Not scared at all...just very excited :) As I see it, there is very little downside to this move. Getting another position as a software engineer (if needed) is so easy in this market.

    Removing the golden handcuffs

    This coming Friday will be my last day at my company of thirteen plus years. The company builds and sells SDKs and SAAS products centered around digital imaging. I have learned a great deal about what it takes to build, sell and support software. Time to take what I have learned and apply it...

    New quantitative trading software

    I am also working on a startup project of my own centered around algo discovery and have learned a lot from a start up project that I am a part of for my day job. Here are some things I have learned: - Make sure you are actually going to solve a problem that other vendors are not currently...

    Traders consistent with intraday futures

    OK..I'll bite. I have the perfect system for you to trade the open. Here is what you do. 1. Buy or short as close to the open as you can (first tick if possible). 2. When buying at the open, sell your position at a higher price. 3. When shorting at the open, buy back at a lower price. You...

    Tensorflow / Machine Learning and Trading

    Yes...I do have a very beta version of my product but it is not yet production ready. Also, I don't think the current version of my product will be much use to you if you have no coding experience. Good luck!

    New trading platform collaboration C# .NET, anyone?

    Fantastic post! Seems like a lot of people get stuck on theory and an idea they have of how something "should" be done without stepping back and asking themselves what problem they really are trying to solve.

    Another ex GOPer

    I have been listening to this clown for awhile and he is just one of many Republican strategists who had no idea what was really going on in 2016. His analysis has sucked and him and Bill Crystal come across as pathetic, whining day in and day out on MSNBC. I get it that they hate Trump, but...

    optimal f sizing test on executed trades.

    Whether you are an algorithmic trader relying on backtests or a discretionary trader, you are still relying on what you know about PAST cause and effect relationships to make buying/selling decisions. If a man has smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, I will place a very...

    Newbie Looking for VB.NET program using new 9.72 API

    I strongly suggest you use C#. VB.NET is hardly used and it looks like IB does not provide VB.NET samples using their latest API. https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/api_guides.php

    Edge edge edge , what is it ?

    Daily...minute bars would obviously be slower. Of course the end goal is not to run on my slow laptop. Will be deploying to AWS. On demand hardware is very cheap. https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/on-demand/
