Selling IG-Market HFT API in Matlab

A

AndreaG87

Hello,
I am currently writing an API on matlab which enable the account holder to basically handle all the streaming quota which he is entitled. At the current stage, I wrote a couple of trading strategies for index trading (DAX, CAC40 and NASDAQ) and FOREX. The latter, mainly as a benchmark to test the program effective capacity to follow 1:1 the IG data streaming.
Virtually, the user enters his own details inside the m file, press f5 and the machinery is activated. I also introduced some preliminary stop loss - internal consistency check.
If anybody is interested in trading with MATLAB on IG market, I am willing to sell the script for 10.000€
Let me know if you are interested

$10? Seems like you put more effort than that into it.
 
It is the amount I was offered by someone from IG platform. But as elitetrader.com users are the most expert and used to this type of market, I thought about coming here and ask. How much would you think it would be fair to ask, as fair price? Most of the work is into creating the actual connection system. Strategies may be modelled on buyer purpose.
Thanks,

So if the strategy works why don't you keep it to yourself and make money by using it yourself?
 
I'm actually using it, even if the bear week is preventing a through adoption in index markets.
As I am basically a PhD student who lives on a scholarship, I am reluctant to employ more than the 30% of some liquidity I earned with a couple of good CW operations during the Summer. Consequently, the strategies I set up at the moment are not exploiting the potentials of my machine. To be precise, I'm only using 2 instruments instead of the 20 I could and I don't even dream about implementing a long/short strategy with a take-loss condition, even if it proves to be quite powerful in my demo account.
I shall amend the title, as high frequency may sound deceptive. Even if my program may potentially saturate all the lines offered by IG, with no loss of efficiency, it stands clear that 20 operating lines are not comparable with a real HFT machinery.
thanks,
 
Hi,
The API is basically done. I implemented a couple of strategies but I'm sure experienced traders can do better. I plan to post a video of the machinery while operating as soon as I have some time. I sold one copy of the API at 1000€ but I am unsure about the price I shall ask. How much would the a bare API be evaluated?
 
so what does the API do exactly that any good python devs couldn't do ?

is it targeted to "users" or "traders" instead of "programmers" ?

show a list of your API class with a quick description without the actual code in it to see what you are selling really.
 
I think "good python devs" are happy with their own solutions, unless for some reason they are not able to port their machinery inside a matlab environment, which is unlikely at best.
There is a large variety of users which have some understanding of Matlab, have the willingness and capabilities to write down strategies with it but can't link IG streaming to their IG account and translate everything in matrices to work with.
