    I want to hire an experienced developer for an Algo build

    Backtesting on 1 tick data

    How are you defining a tick? Trade price? Bid ask change. Top 5 bids/ask? Data set gets enormous very quickly. There is a quote from a top Google programmer. "I look to solve difficult problems by trying to get 98% of the answer with 2% of the work."

    CME Direct

    Thanks all. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I am so sick of TT and CQG they are non starters. Their prices + data feeds + cme autospreader data fees are a non starter. I work with a local FCM. Don't love IB. I have cobbled together something that works for me. Could always be improved...

    Are There Any Prop Firms/Funded Trader Programs For Options Traders?

    Options are tough for prop. Either you are well capitalized with an expensive set up for market making, or you are position trading them. The low frequency of position trading makes it hard to accumulate statistical significance.
