With FasterQuant, it is trivial to execute a backtest X number of times and my backtest component can take a collection array indexes which map to a point in time in the data series where each index will be used as an entry signal. This makes it very easy to randomize the entry indexes and test...

What platform are you currently using for backtesting? I will try and give you some ideas based on the answer.

Trade with real money (get a track record), start a journal on this site and make sure you have a tight LinkedIn profile. I have done those three but also have the advantage of having a substantial career in tech in addition to having a quant related product offering and have been contacted by...

None of the Dem candidates has yet to experience hundreds of millions of dollars worth of negative campaign ads focused against them. I am not saying Trump is not vulnerable, but Sanders would be absolutely destroyed in a general election against Trump. If Warren can moderate a bit, I think...

Having a full time software engineer on the payroll may not be necessary in the beginning. Really, you need a software solution which can execute and manage your trades and someone who can operate the software and handle the other items you mentioned ("daily checks and reconciliation and...
