Looking for a developer for a black box trading system

Henderson:

Send me a private message.

Quote from henderson:

I have done a lot in this arena but have some questions. What is a good method to contact you?

 

[Two Aces]

We are open to the language.

Quote from GammaTheta:

Do you have a specific language you want your stuff written in?

 

[Two Aces]

It will be for prop capital and select outside capital from our clients.

Quote from intradaybill:

You mean it will be a black-box for your customers?

It can't be a black-box for you since you will be developing it.

Kind of confusing. Anyway, IMO as soon as someone develops it that is an outsider, it won't be a black-box any longer since someone not connected with your firm will know how it operates.

I think before you start looking for a developer you should seek legal help in this area.

Developer. We have some of our own algorithms also. But this may be discussed in depth later.

Quote from laserwolf:

please clarify: who's bringing the algorithm? you or the developer?

cheers

We have substantial funds to work with...

And so does the black box developer.

Quote from munnyhunny:

Your story is cute, but you would have to be trading at least 1000 shares in order for it to be worth their while to front you. 200 doesn't make a dent in the B/A of the SPY.

It all depends. If they are scalping and they do it to 100 clients it worths it. Anyway, when I was front ran I was trading 100 contracts a shot for a firm in currency futures. The SPY was just an example of the process.

Do you have clients that sophisticated to trade signals off a black-box?

If you have enough money to spend you should get TSL from Mike Barna. It will configure automatically for you trading systems and generate code. It will cost you less than a developer and you will have no legal issues to resolve. This is my favorite tool but a bit expensive.

Another one that is a lot cheaper is APS by Mike Harris. Limited to price patterns but its p-Indicator and scan functions can serve as a good position trading black-box. It also generates code for use with different platforms for both position and intraday systems.

Some do. But most I find to look to others to raise the necessary capital so they may go about their business of trading and or developing.

Mean reversion system. Trading the long and short side. Mid to high frequency will be considered.

I fail to understand how this discussion went south so fast. It appears the main issue as always here is IP and how everyone has been burnt. Well what did you all learn from these burns? Obfusticating your code, maintining off-site user servers? The road goes both ways here.

All I know is if you all don't want to do the work I would happily do it.
