  1. Fire everyone

    Stop building "global" trading systems because they are too -generic- to make money in any location. Useless.

    Hire 5 expensive local developers instead of 25 cheap global-team developers

    Sit each developer next to a trader full-time to they understand exactly what matters

    Thanks a lot, it is becoming very clear that traditional algo trading is a failing concept.

    Hey smith, I am a coder/mathematician with a background in swing trading. I'm coming to you guys to try and create a stronger bridge between developers and financial experts, browsing for problems with the current tools you use, which will be used to build truly innovative fintech.

    Well, you have come to the right place, if you can do as you say you can?

    Here is one of the best ever order entry platforms built for daytrading the eminis - I used in many years ago, and nothing beats it.

    Screenshot is of the important section - the rest is not required.

    The owner stopped developing it back in 2007 for personal reasons.

    I am currently speaking with a programmer to see if he is interested in working with me to do a similar platform that will link to the current IB TWS and IB Gateway.

    The deal I offered was, programmer does the coding and GUI, I do the layout and spec, and then show the coder how to trade using it - no freebies:)

    Thank You.

  6. Yep, I have worked at a global research company as an intern.
    They had one branch director and one manager and all others were interns.
    The Indian manager was a bitch, chatting all day along on the phone. We had to make international calls to collect information from foreign counties. She didn't really look after her interns and blamed interns when things went wrong.

    I don't think this global thing is working because of this agency problem.

    As long as large corporations rely on cheap H1 labor there won't be any innovation.

    Hey again smith thanks for sharing, that is definitely a nice clean platform. Do you have any suggestions as to how it could be extended to a greater user base?
