Journey from investment bank to independent automated trader

Quote from lolatency:

DMCA applies if you are trying to circumvent copy protection. If you aren't (which I wasn't, as I had the debug symbols already), there's no case. If this weren't the case, any programmer who has the debug symbols for the retail build of any Windows kernel would be in jeopardy of being sued by Microsoft. Or, for example, if Windows blue screens and you wanted to submit a report to the driver developer -- you'd need the system call stack and the retail debug symbols to figure out what chain of events caused the crash.
What you did is not at all analogous to the examples above.

Eh, let em come find me and sue me then. If it was worth their while, they've had 4 years to come get me.

Goldman took less than a month to bust that other guy.

how come you got all the attention and I did not get any PMs?

I told me, I'm lolatency and you (me). This whole thread is a self-promoting delusion that I created. I get all these PMs and everyone is talking shit about me!!!

So stop replying to myself. It's getting all weird and I'm going all paranoid.

:eek: You know that you're admitting that you stole their code with the phrase above. :eek:

I can now see why you don't last at your work. You present yourself as a hotshot (there's nothing wrong with that... really) but your quality of what you mention doesn't catch up. Like your last post about programming a tick data test engine. You go out claiming like you're a hotshot programmer but you don't have the basic knowledge as an IT. I can imagine how you sold yourself to get hired bloating your skills to a clueless boss and all that expectations are backlashing with expectations you created, stressing you out.

Another thing about this whole HF trading you're "experimenting" is...

Experimenting??? Where are all the tests? Are you running any? You claim yourself as a systematic trader and you're "experimenting"??? Where are all the tests? What is there to experiment? If you have any reasonable professional experience as a Quant developing job, you should know that you do what you test.

Tradestation??? Aren't you supposedly a hotshot financial IT? Where's your own FIX OMS/OES? You should at least be trading with IB using with FIX or API?

Everything little thing you mention starts to make me very skeptical. I kept quiet but you're asking for it...

(I still have myself on ignore... I saw my other post using my "Baron" alias... ...

NOOOOO... stop all the voices!!!! rAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH Stop talking you me and you!!!!

It's a small industry.

I love you too. But I only get aroused by the yellow monster...

you simply excuse your actions despite you knowing you conducted yourself in an unethical manner and were stupid enough to brag about it.

Then you lost your cool and accuse others of actions you really do not have the slightest factual ground for. Sorry but to me you appear very naive.

Quote from lolatency:

Yeah, but stealing would imply I took it out of the company. You're obviously not a programmer.

It's a different story when the "secret sauce" is calling hooks into a piece of code you wrote and debug symbols are there. It's just a matter of examining the call stack and what the compiler sees as input parameters. In Visual Studio, it's as simple as "show disassembly" and reading the assembly.

Furthermore, you're a serious dick for implying reverse engineering is theft. How do you suppose all those IBM PC clones got made? Reverse engineers, that's how. You don't know wtf you are talking about, so you should just STFU.
 
i really should have made an attempt to meet up with you. I have a good laugh each single time ;-)

Sorry...

I do it all the time...
but it's just how I am...

I think I need another round of therapy sessions with my shrink.... I'm starting to feel the anxiety building up in me...

Man, you so got busted. It's clear to anyone reading the thread that you use two aliases and that you are now trying to cover it up by talking to yourself. How absurd is that?
