I currently have a custom web based backtesting/scanning platform. My goal is to polish up the backtesting engine and convert the public facing side of the site into a subscription based newsletter that is totally automated. If you are a web developer (site is written in PHP), have at least a minimum understanding of trading/stats and have availability to work on the project, PM me for details. I currently have someone helping out with the HTML/CSS layer but I just don't have enough time to address everything that needs to be done in the middle and back end layers. I will explain the concept and show what I currently have built via PM. The product is not profitable now so any work will result in an equity stake in the company. thanks fan27
What open source license are you envisaging? I am asking because this site has seen its fair share of dubious offers by crooks who asked others to participate only to commercialize the works of others at a later point (a time series database (TickZoom), a trading architecture (TradeLink), among others. What are your intentions? I am asking on behalf on unassuming newbies or desperate CS majors. I personally express no interest.
This is going to be a commercial venture. Who ever contributes to the effort will be given an ownership stake in the company, will receive direct payment, or a combination of both. It all depends on what we agree upon. fan27
that sounds fair given it is supported by solid written contract agreements. Good luck with this venture.
