    You've come to the right place then :) May I ask you why you are looking for someone that wants to trade instead of someone who will simply code for you? I assume if you pay someone to code for you, you don't want them to trade at the same time.

    a startup hedge fund with a trader who wants to code and a coder who wants to trade is just more appealing to me. additional programmers who just program can be hired as needed.

    Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. LOL. Just kidding(sort of) ... could be a Win-Win situation!

    Both trading and programming have steep learning curves. I got into trading late - if I had it to do over, (besides starting earlier) I would have learned programming at the same time. One trader can only do so much. A trading team can possibly achieve exponential results.

    As long as they share a common vision. Do you have one?

    If you got the capital to bring them to life, we can build a team right here on ET.

    I understand. I'm looking for low latency equities market data and co-lo. Willing to barter :)
