    If you had a prop firm, how would you develop traders?

    Perhaps you could share a bit about your business decision to fund 5 traders.

    Perhaps if you are a strong believer in their offering, you could become an Online Trading Academy Franchisee. That's right folks, you can become the owner of a turn key trading education business :) https://www.tradingacademy.com/franchise/

    My solution is a bit more light weight but should do the trick.

    Online Trading Academy's new platform - "Clik"

    Cool. At least now the traders will get to use a "slick" app with a pretty UI as they lose their money.

    wrongful-death settlement, taxes and trusts

    Regarding civil law suits, all I have to say on this topic is the next time me or a family member gets bit by a large breed dog, the first call is going to be to my lawyer. I have been bitten twice so far, once by a German Shepard that was running loose and the bite required stitches. A couple...

    Backtester

    I know AlgoTerminal can accomplish your first item and I would be surprised if other platforms like NinjaTrader, MultiCharts, etc. could not.

    Backtester

    Perhaps take a look at StockSharp. You can buy the source code and use it in your own product. Why are you building a commercial backtesting application? What will your solution offer that currently existing ones do not?

    ATS, AWS CloudWatch and Slack integration

    Reporting on the "health" of the system requires the notification mechanism to be on another system. For example, each strategy writes a health check event each time a bar completes. I have a metric in AWS CloudWatch that will trigger an alarm if I do not receive X amount of health check...

    ATS, AWS CloudWatch and Slack integration

    I have open sourced my monitoring solution that I use for AlgoTerminal live trading. Though the logger is written in C#, any logger in any language will work as long as it logs structured events (JSON) and has the following properties that my logger has: StrategyId, EventType and...

    How to file taxes without showing your strategy to you tax accountant ?

    In reality, the accountant will probably be chuckling to himself thinking about the trading losses he will be able to write off next tax season :)

    An educator trains people scammed by other educators

    I don't put Anton Kreil's education services in the category of scam because what I have seen of it, he does make outrages claims in terms of potential returns and encourages people to keep their day job. Does he sell information that someone could otherwise get for free? Probably. Are his...

    A message to some day traders.

    Fair enough...if this is how you get your "kicks", looks like you have plenty of willing participants.

    A message to some day traders.

    @Amahrix What are you getting out of this? Some people day trade and/or backtest. It either works for them or it doesn't. Move on man. WTF do you care what others are doing anyway?

    Suggestions for Prop Firms for non-US citizens to trade US Equities

    Come on man....what are you hoping to accomplish coming to this game with $5k? If you want to trade some on the side that is one thing, but trying to make a serious go of it with only $5k is a suckers bet.

    Do you hate talking heads on CNBC who don't actually trade but always got something to say?

    I appreciated the guest they had on CNBC the other who described in detail how WeWork is pretty much a scam. That was a good bit.

    Day in the Life of a Facebook Software Engineer

    Let's consider the Facebook for work app mentioned in the video. As was shown, it is basically a news feed filled with status updates (i.e. hey, I did this really cool thing, or check out this new document, etc.). You know the content is heavily monitored where part of your job would be making...

    Day in the Life of a Facebook Software Engineer

    Yep. Another sign of intelligence from the Tech Lead. He got spanked by the market day trading and moved on to more profitable pursuits.

    Day in the Life of a Facebook Software Engineer

    The Tech Lead does it again! I don't doubt the information he is sharing about Facebook. Think about it...Facebook is massively profitable and they can afford to have some of the dysfunction and political bent described in the video. I know from experience that when the money is rolling in and...
