Hello, Iâm a software developer, i run a small software company specialised in web and mobile applications⦠Iâm also a newbie in the trading world. For the past months iâve been studying (from books and different sites, blogs, etc) how the stock markets work, as well as all other markets as futures, options and forex. Itâs needless to say that this business is one of the most difficult for beginners since itâs filled with scammers, fraudulent guys just trying to sell their dvdâs, books, subscriptions, and any other type of product, without giving actual practical and proven profitable techniques to use for trading. Obviously, itâs not supposed to be easy, otherwise a lot more people would be rich by now. Now, getting into my proposal, iâm offering my developer skills (as well as my team of programmers, as necessaryâ¦) in order to create a custom system that will handle all the steps of the trading process, automatically, without human intervention (expect for definition of basic parameters for startup), from determining the strategies that fit better the markets in a specific point of time, to executing the actual orders and process the transactions directly with the broker(s). This will also must come with the respective tracking features that will monitor the performance and reliability of such system, and to verify the results (first with virtual environments). I have years of experience developing all types of applications, extremely comfortable with algorithms that require highly logical or mathematical tweaking, i know how web services work, making relatively easy to successfully communicate with a particular broker APIâs (Application Programming Interfaces), and to query all the variables necessary in order to get a specific set of setups working. Using several programming languages and programming environments is not a problem either. I will offer the development of such system for free, as iâm not looking for profit in selling the software, iâm looking for profit in using the software itself. Thatâs why i need someone who already has the experience and who uses a particular group of strategies that have been proven to work by himself in his trading history. I need a person that has at least a year using a successful methodology and has been capable of working as a full-time trader using that methodology. In order for it to work, he must master such methods, since it must be very precise (no room for judging or simple âcommon senseâ), in terms of which conditions at which markets, with variables at this or that particular range, with global indicators pointing at this or that range, and so forth⦠In general, how this âpartnershipâ will work is very simple, i provide the development of the system, you provide the trading know-how expertise, we will both be owners of the product and you can do whatever you want with it, so do i. There will be no implications in terms of accounts associated, except if we agree to create shared testing accounts to prove the performance of the programs created⦠all that and other kinds of agreements can be discussed but the basic idea is that you gain a system that uses your methods automatically and work as your brain would/should when analysing the markets (even better, since you already know that all criteria and relevant decision making for this particular area is translatable into algorithm sequences/iterations,etc⦠reducing the risk of human emotional intervention or error), i gain the knowledge that would probably take me years to get without orientation in order to learn and master decent trading skills. We can talk better about this project, i can share my personal information, etcâ¦, we can talk via Skype or any other way, just let me know that youâre interested and you match the profile, and that you will be available for the duration of the project, for which i think we are dealing with at least a couple of months. Thanks all for your time, hoping this reach the right person, Kind regards, Alexander Fradiani.
You can start here http://adaptivetrader.wordpress.com/ ....follow the blog roll. It will lead to Quants and their systems...99% of which are not interested in scalping or day trading. But if you are serious about coding for finance... it looks like C++,Python or R is where you should be headed. Good luck! good info... http://www.quantstart.com/
