" 100 % wins over 240 days Discussion in 'Automated Trading' started by Spectre2007" I would probably start this thread in a non-Automated Trading forum!
The reason I ask, .. What have others done with infrastructure design. Finding edge is easy if you understand micro price structure. But implementation is other part of the puzzle. And it's automated.

Thank you for links, has anyone gone through easier route if latency is not an issue?..you need a comp sci background or staff to implement above designs. Some retail platforms have the basic flow steps already solved. But how do you strengthen the basic retail platforms like Tradestation or others.
Do you have a Community college near by? Go to the Dean of Computer Science and ask to either recommend one-two students that want to earn some bucks or you be willing to throw couple pizza parties if a instructor like to make it an assignment. This latter is what I did before I learned how to do coding, then after I learned how to code but found some or most where far better than me at programming I hire college student, much less frustration for me.
I did, the University wants a cut, they want all the paperwork signed so they essentially own it. They will argue it was 'developed' using university resources. The independent programmer route is extremely unreliable. I've had bad experiences with that route also. My main issue is guaranteeing the retail platform doesn't hang up or freeze and is always active. I'm exploring leasing cloud space to load it on the cloud.
You can always chop up the program where one person makes part of it, then 2nd one...so no one person has your entire ideas. You can always go to a computer lab at a school and finding senior and hire him.
