I'm from Nottingham UK. Looking for local or remote partner. I have been building business applications for 5 years. I have been buying and selling stocks a little for a few years. Looking to make some money trading now. I am building an app for viewing stock charts, indicators, feeds, news and what not. I am sure that I would have useful IT skills but my trading knowledge is pretty basic. I am not entrapenurial but facing a technical problem I can come up with interesting solutions.
Sorry, but trading is an art and not a coding problem. Forget anything about programming when it comes to trading. Learn from naked charts and watching them. Nothing beats screen time. My two cents. I learnt it the hard way trying to code/solve the market with any systematic rules for over a decade. A lesson. I think the most money is made on fantasy or imagination. (Not quantitative.) Because the future is uncertain, if it were certain you only would get the risk free interest rate as profit. And for guessing the future you need imagination.
Thats why I havn't made a trade yet. I am not looking to automate buying and selling. Just building my app to aid my learning of all the technical terms and so that I don't have to subscribe to stock charts. I could be an asset to the right person and I am sure the other has a wealth of knowledge that will hopefully brush off one me. I am very much open to other ways to make money not just trading.
This forum is full of discretionary day traders. Software developers that are looking for someone to partner with go somewhere else. Also when you see a piece of code shared by someone around here, you can see that they are mostly copying the code from someone else and they can't make it to work. Look at the App development section and you will see what I mean. If you are serious about building applications for trading have a look at https://quant.stackexchange.com/ There you will see actual people trying to automate trading systems, and you might get some ideas for yourself.
Advanced programming is not required for most retail level algos. Even if a non programmer trader needs some programming work, it is not normally that much. Less than 1000 lines most times, or a few thousand lines of code at most.
I did that once already with a programmer, but he gave up after a year. Next time (like the first time and every other time), I'm paying for programming services.
