The guy at mechanicalforex.com has been developing methods to generate systems. Without more detail from OP I can't say how related it is. Like SteveH suggested, just throw it up on github.

Start a thread and paper trade it.

Advice from the internet :D

Dang this was the only thread I subscribed to.

No site I've seen so far provides time value, only greeks.

Yes there is. You just have to click the "Greeks" tab at the top. OP was specifically looking for time value which no site provides. But I did show how easy it is to find out.

Time value is just the value in excess of how far in the money an option is. So OTM option values are all time value; for ITM the time value is just what's left over when you subtract how far ITM the option is. If you download the option chain from CBOE it's easy to import into Excel to figure...

Anyone have experience with Trading Technologies X-Trader for DOM trading?

You must not have been paying close attention in class then. Finance programs all teach that you can't day trade profitably and only those that "buy and hold good companies" make money.

A collar is about the lowest cost (in terms of net debit) protection for a long stock position. The main "cost" is having your long stock called away if the short calls go ITM.

Scataphagos took the words right out of my mouth. "Dollar cost averaging" Ever pay period, buy a fixed dollar amount of SPY; don't mess with mutual funds. During corrections and bear markets you're accumulating more shares at a lower price. During bull markets you're buying less shares that...

For the *truly* paranoid you could use one of the Bitcoin VPNs. No real name, no money trail.

If you're serious about learning about machine learning consider joining asirikuy.com. They're currently exploring ML for automated trading and using GPUs (parallel processing) to do the number crunching. The site owner is very rigorous about issues such as snooping, data mining bias...

You can specify an exit node from the Tor client end using ExitNodes in the torrc file. Find an exit node that's not banned and use that one.

OP explained it here. 70% chance of hitting max profit, 10% chance of max loss, 20% chance of price landing in between strikes. It's a 3 point version of expectancy, well described on the internet. The probabilities come from a formula that uses volatility. Many brokers have calculators for it.
