You would be much better off looking for an investor to finance your project. The black box firm I deal with DOES NOT take any cut of profits, only a miniscule commission fee.

BTW---If someone does have a proven system, I am always interested in financially backing the project.

but its already been stolen once by somone who claimed they would code it and set me up a filter I designed for the pre/post markets for a fixed cost

we worked on it together for weeks until the dude backed out, there is no doubt in my mind he stole it as he trades with boxes as it is

the point i tried to make to scalp100 was that he should be careful who he shows it to, I noticed nitro was on his post immediately and I certainly wouldnt trust anyone who spends their whole life in a chat room

I've been around this game long enough to know that it attracts all sorts of shady characters. Given this I've boiled down decisions of working with people in this business of trading to -risk/reward. On the black box idea economies of scale tipped me toward the outsourcing avenue. I did my homework and it has worked out better then I anticipated, perhaps I was lucky.

For several of my other trading ideas that are as good or better I have partnered with a trustworthy friend. He programs I trade and we set up a profit split. This makes sense also because I would enjoy seeing this friend make some good money off our work together. I find that its more fun to make money together anyway.

Then on other ideas I just trade them myself with the help of my gut, while I smell out new ideas. So I guess this is my process.

Anyone who is interested in a fair and safe deal for your automated strategies may p.m. me. I believe I can offer the most competive deals both in terms of revenue sharing and commission. Backtesting on a tick basis across multiple securities is also available and parameters can be adjusted quite easily.

Regarding the offer of implementation, testing, capital and trading of black box systemsâ¦

Can someone use some of these services but not others?

I.e. what kind of deal will you offer a black box designer who:

1) Has a diversity of profitable fully mechanical systems, each capable of very large size.
2) Doesnât need your implementation or testing support.
3) Will not (initially) reveal methods or code.
4) Will provide historical trades for you to analyze.
5) Will provide real time trade signals to demonstrate and trade.
6) Only needs you to trade the signals, and as a safety measure liquidate positions if an exception occurs (eg loss of market data)
