    Which trading days in a week are best: Tue+Thur OR Tue+Fri?

    For most traders, Saturday and Sunday are best as they do not have a negative expectancy.

    Any algo traders in the Tampa area

    Good question. Essentially, my platform is similar to other backtesting platforms in that simulated orders can be created, indicators tested, etc. The difference is orders, indicators and data relationships implement interfaces that allow them to be treated as generic components throughout the...

    Any algo traders in the Tampa area

    Sounds good Q.E.D.! If you could, send me a private message so we can exchange contact info. Looks like your profile is not allowing me to send you a private message.

    The $1000 / month cofounder

    First and foremost, the technology has to be very useful to myself and make me money. Selling the technology is secondary to that. If I had a seven figure trading account or had a hedge fund who was interested in hiring me along with my technology for a piece of the profits, I would consider...

    The $1000 / month cofounder

    It uses machine learning techniques that are very intuitive and does not require the user to be an expert data scientist. With a little bit of code you can test millions of strategy combinations based on indicators or whatever price action rules you already use. Should have a beta version...

    The $1000 / month cofounder

    Got it. I am taking a different approach. Rather than focussing on discovering a single profitable strategy, I am building a platform that will dramatically reduce the time required to find profitable strategies. As I see it, a huge problem for Algo traders is finding strategies that have an...

    What problem is this venture attempting to solve? What is the end product that will be monetized?

    Anti-trading. Dollar Cost Averaging

    I actually do both. I have a non retirement trading account and I aggressively fund my retirement account via dollar cost averaging with a 4% of my salary company match. Assuming 8% average yearly returns (12% is a bit optimistic) I should have about 2 million once I reach retirement. I...

    Weekends

    Get outside, hit the gym, go chat up some women if your are single. There is more to life than trading :)

    Hiring a cofounder

    No...I did not find them. My platform found them after testing millions of strategies. I am not going to waste anymore time on this thread. I have code to write. I wish you the best man.

    Hiring a cofounder

    In my original post to this thread I offered to show my tech, not babble on and on about my skills. I have built a custom machine learning solution which is CURRENTLY used to find profitable trading strategies and has the licensing infrastructure in place so that it could be sold as a commercial...

    Hiring a cofounder

    There is no way you are going to find someone to work full time on this project with the qualifications you describe for $1000 per month. It's not going to happen. What you are asking is for someone to incur a major opportunity cost and live on a starvation wage for a project that is not...

    Hiring a cofounder

    I'll bite. You have some tech already developed. So do I. Here is what I would be willing to do. We have a Skype call and "present" each others tech and each make the case for a commercially viable path forward. Assuming an agreement could be made on the initial prototype, we would then...

    The Bollinger Band

    Yes....they are useful. Here are a few scenarios. With daily data, previous month was a 12 month high. Daily close is below the lower Bollinger band. There is a strong probability that the previous high will be tested. Another: With daily data, previous month was a 12 month low and was...
