Question: hiring custom programmer

[Runningbear]

I think a lot of people worry too much about having their trading ideas stolen by programmers. If you have a highly profitable system, any programmer with trading experience isn't about to tell the world. They are more likely to keep it a secret and trade it themselves - which won't effect the market too much.

An NDA is still a good idea though.

... In this group I would include Darryl Trembling, Sam Tennisjerk, and Stuart Okorofwho??? ...

Horrible!

The truly reliable one is ET's nononsense. Fee is $375 an hour for qualifying applicants only.
As nononsense works at least six (6) times faster due to his superior tools and skill, his offer may be worth of your attention.

It may also be of interest to know that nononsense understands a bit about trading. He can smell the fishy stuff from far away.

Be good,
nononsense

Yeah, we also provide custom programming services, and we can offer a pretty competitive rates (especially comparing to $375 since I believe we already have ~80-90% of what you are looking for in our framework.

I login to this room, they said you are on vacation, and rest
of guys didn't know anything about EL.

Btw so much conflict of interest in that room, ...like some
recommending ensign,...etc

Sorry, Not a room for any Improvement, in my opinion.

I have used Joe Jurgest for about 4 years...

outstanding, reasonable, confidential.

he is a TS specialist, he can get busy though. One of the best things about him is... you email him a description of you system... exactly if you can. You don't have to give him any settings. Just the logic.

He will quote you and the time it will take. Ususally 2 to 3 days. If you like, you buy.

His website is www.tradingalchemy.com

hope this helps

What you mean by the term "If you like"?
Do you mean if we like who the system has performed
over certain period as per system report?

Or do you mean if we like the quoted price and lenght
of days that take to prepar any strategy?

If second one, does he expain anything about what
kind of setup and setting used before purchasing?

hahaha...

sorry for the odd wording.

No if you like his price and time line, than you can buy. He bills you once he has done the code and emailed it to you.

As for you question Nana Trader... please clarify.

I do speak with him so he knows exactly what I am talking about. That is all that we talk about. Not sure what else.

PS
When I send him my logic, I give him a different time fram than what I may be looking for, and I will give him random settings for the indicators or strategy to set as the default. So basically when he designs it to "my specs" the system looks like crap. Then once I get it, I plug in the correct setting and viola' I guess if he wanted to he could crunch some numbers but I respect him and know him to be a professional.

Nevertheless, I do not lead my self on to be the 6 figure trader that I am. Don't want him geting any ideas.

Yes I have been using this with positive results since the beginning of the year. I'm currently trading it (real money) on ES, NQ, ER, and YM and a few ETFs (SMH, XLE, and OIH). I'd like to expand into individual stocks.

1. Why would you want to trade stocks when it is performing well on futures which offer much better leverage, & tax benefits?
Is it too difficult to manually trade on the futures? Why the need for any programing if you stick with the futures?
2. What charting, analysis program are you currently using?
You may be able to stay with the same program with which you are familar.

Good luck.
