I am not joking. You better contact the advisory committee of Mr.Trump. You can bring in lots of $ needed for US. So that he can stop calling up Company CEOs and move away from twitter. You can save all of us. Do the good thing.
I was joking in my last post, anyway I'm serious in my project. To Forewind: I don't need to write a new trading platform, just a set of custom indicators for some popular ones. If you have some particular platform that you use or know and you would like to bring it to my attention feel free to write it here in this thread, also if you are a serious developer for any particular platform and would like to collaborate with me (behind a profit share or a fixed amount of money) contact me.
Yes,i can give you spme clue how to get attention by the trading crowd who uses retail platforms and indicators. First,you`d need to write a ton of indicators on various forums FOR FREE.After that.... Don`t thank me.
Ok. Let me answer a bit seriously. I am a programmer who have developed quite a bit of indicators/trading robots for my own use and for quite a few clients. Mostly in MQL4. Why donot you go to mql4.com or mql5.com where you can sell your services if you can hire a good programmer there. If your logic/indicator is making money, it should not be difficult to write in any language or platform.
Today's platforms come loaded to the max and usually can be customized without to much effort for traders to make their own indicators. The only proprietary indicator I pay for costs $9 per month does complex things with market profile and was something users wanted but nobody was able to create. But the many other vendors offering products for that platform rarely ever get a bite or just don't get more than a few users. For $500 per year, not month, I could get trading signals from a bonified, tax audited, 30 year winning market wizard. That is what you are competing with. Maybe if you learn the major tier-1 platforms an than learn Python/API inside and out you could get some work coding after a few years of distinguishing yourself as an expert at this. Good luck .
What 9 dollar indicator do you use? ________________________________________________________ It not really so much of an indicator as it is an app - it displays market profile in a way where you can overlay multiple time frames. Not you ordinary out of the box MP.
Contrary to what everyone believes the smart option is to have a service for income and use trading for capital appreciation, more efficient. As you will have probably understood, you have a couple of options. A 1-2yr and 3-5yr trading cycle, however above $50/mth most wonder why don't you just keep it to yourself so you are left with the other option. Don't recommend this approach but you need to know what everyone else does. Lie that your product is 1000x better than it is, and if on average it generates 2x more than most people can do themselves then you will have sales. Those few who generate 2x more will be your reference and the other 99% will probably lose money but you'll have the few who did to back you up. It's called statistical averages, it's garbage but that's how they do it. There is a third option, the product produces 100x more than most can do themselves and sell it for less, but for that you need other tiers of services which loss lead it, that's what we do. In any of the cases the indicator needs to be integrated in to a methodology, it's just depends how much of the workload it offsets. Volume based are NinjaTrader, IB, MT4, then going towards specialist Tradestation, CQG, TT. Your best bet is to put the indicators on to platform makers marketplaces, and also remember than most traders have the memory span of a gnat, trust no one, and are too busy chasing the pot of gold at the end of rainbow, so the chance of them reselling it is limited especially if you have an NDA or license agreement.
