That wasn't the case. The lack of closing ability was not because of laziness but rather the inability to do one or more of the following: 1. Identify the problem. 2. Come up with a solution. 3. Efficiently implement the solution. Usually the problem lies with both 2 and 3. Zuckerberg, Gates...

I think you are barking up the wrong tree. I have worked in tech since 2000, have been trading off and on since then and have come across very smart people who just couldn't "close". They can talk theory all day long but they can't make anything happen. Seek out people who are closers (who...

What are you hoping to accomplish by meeting high IQ traders/investors?

Cool blog article. I feel I have achieved my own personal "nirvana" with my current workflow. If you have time, request a trial and perhaps get some ideas for your own implementation if that is the path you want to go down. The only code that is compiled is the SDK component...all other...

Have you considered an approach where your research platform is decoupled from your live execution platform. That is the approach I have take with my product FasterQuant and it is working out so far.

Not true. If your skills are relevant it is so easy to find work writing code. The guys who run into problems are those who get laid off and then realize they have not improved their skills in over a decade. I just had lunch today with a former co-worker who is very gainfully employed and it...

Man...that is deep. ;)

Shoot man, I can't even stand the site of the code I wrote a year ago. :)

You have been swing trading for 20 years with "moderate success" yet you think it is a good idea to quit your job and try day trading while being significantly under capitalized? In what universe does this sound like a good idea?

Don't "believe" in Forex. Go get a job and make some money instead of posting nonsense.

I could not agree more. To the OP, you have no clue what is involved in building a commercial software product of this magnitude and your "MIT engineers" don't really exist or they are as clueless as you.

Yikes! That has to make for some awkward family gatherings.

@Daniel.a I have decided to permanently unlock the Random trade backtest feature of FasterQuant with a trial license. Give me a few weeks and this will be available. Will keep you posted.

Looks like you are ready to become a trading "educator". :)

"Still, Gibbins stands by the investment decisions and Autonomy has even offered clients the ability to add money to the fund, the Journal said." In order words, "we just lost 20% of our fund on one position. Send us more money." These people have no shame.

Now that is a good one!

Very slow August.

Correct...it is a monte carlo style simulation where random trade entries are selected for each run. If you want a better understanding of my implementation, I suggest requesting a trial of my product https://www.fasterquant.com/ and checkout RandomTradeBacktestRunner.cs in the...

The guy is certainly a character...I appreciate his dry sense of humor. Regarding the video I posted, his critique of Facebook is devastating. Assuming it is accurate, could you imagine having to use a version of Facebook for all of your company communication. To say that a tech company has...

Another gem from the TechLead!
