This is really a poor design as your strategy code should not have to make logical decisions based on the symbols passed to it. Try breaking this up into multiple strategies and pass the desired symbols to their corresponding strategy.

Out of the gate I will offer a perpetual license for my product though I will likely change that to an annual subscription at some point. My licensing infrastructure can support any direction I want to go in.

Good points! Most of my product will ship with source code except for the main SDK component which requires licensing. The idea is to offer maximum flexibility so a hedge fund could take what I have built and create their own research pipelines (of course, I can help with that).

Thanks for the posts @nooby_mcnoob...some good info there! The reality is that I don't have enough trading capital to live on trading profits alone. For the product I am launching, I only have to sell 1.5 units per month to cover living and business expenses. I was considering getting a "day...

I am code complete for the initial release. The only thing left is to create video tutorials which is not a trivial task. My approach is going to be to create one very short intro video for the home page of the site and then do a deep dive explanation for each part of the product with...

There is a major false assumption here. If I spend 40 hours on this project, that is 40 hours I wasn't getting paid for my software consulting services which could equal anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000, depending on how much I am billing my time for. To incur that opportunity cost, you would...

@digitalnomad. Thanks for the kind words!

Here is a link to my trading journal where I post my monthly brokerage account statement at the end of each month. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/adventures-in-automation.329052/ In the same thread I will post a link to my website with product available for download...hopefully next...

I run 55 strategies fully automated. While that runs unattended during the day, I have been working on my startup company. Am I living a dream? Or perhaps it is all a simulation.

The ideal scenario is to have both....a steady dependable income stream and profits from trading. The thought of constantly having to remove money from my trading account to pay for living expenses does not sound appealing. I want to be trading bigger and bigger size. For that, I need to grow...

Re-calibrated my strategy portfolio so I am now risking 1.75% of account balance per trade vs. the previous 2.25%. Also, going to cash out about half the winnings from the past two weeks ($15,000) to pay Uncle Sam and help fund my startup. My goal is for this to be the only withdraw from my...

If you look at his profile page he is/was running a small restaurant. Perhaps he has little time to post with that responsibility.

Good to hear it @themickey. About a month ago I was considering two different paths. One where I would get another "day job" and use the technology I built for my own trading. That would have put things on a more cruise control path. The other option was to stay fully committed to this game...

Haha...I don't have that skill :)

Currently flat. This has been an epic run! Up about 28% since March 12!!

Exit 3 contracts at 2848.75 + $7487.7

Exit 3 contracts at 7387.75 + $11,282.70

Seems to be a lot of that going on these days. The data backs that up. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db330.htm

Do you have access to historical options data? If so, I don't think it would be too much effort to create a prototype to test your idea. Really, all you need are backtested trades from the underlying and then line up the entry datetime with a corresponding option datetime and have some logic...
