I recently started strategic trading, doing data analysis, research trading ideas, backtest, simulation and automatic trading. I wander if anyone in charlotte doing the same thing and want to share some ideas, experience so we can pool resource together. Something else about me: master degree in IT from top US engineering school minor in finance. Worked for a big bank in tech role. I can help you code your ideas or strategies if you are not familiar with technology part. Steve univocorp@gmail.com
