Your attitude doesn't seem to be conducive to a collaboration. That's problem #1. Problem #2 is your obsession with your edge being stolen. You sound like a difficult client. The "programmer" may have been in over their head, but you really need to focus on what you brought to the table first. I created dozens of applications in career, some freelancing. I never failed to deliver a working reliable system. If a project seemed impractical I'd turn it down after a short review.
Got to love how you and so many others are experts on something you know jack shit about. I'm very clear about what I brought to the table. You're not, because you don't have the faintest clue about what I have. The programmer also received full disclosure and demonstration about what I brought to the table, so if he wasn't interested or didn't believe in it, he should have turned it down then. Protecting what I have is a number one priority as there's virtually zero reason I'd share any proprietary research or system of any value with anyone else. But you'll see so called price action traders "share" all the time. No wonder they don't have any issue with that as it's public knowledge that's as old as the hills and probably not worth much anyway. The genuine concern expressed in the first post in this thread was how I was guaranteed that the programmer would deliver AFTER he knew the details and could just keep it to himself afterwards. For all we know that's what happened. I doubt it, though, as he seemed too dense to grasp it all. LOL. Okay. Good for you. Not sure how that's relevant to me or anyone else reading this thread. By the way - funny how you blocked me earlier for calling you out on your shitty and condescending attitude and now you're lifting the block just so you can reply to me in this thread. Make up your mind already.
Can you show what you brought to the table? You can make up the strategy I am curious how you gave requirements and logic of the system/strategy.
Forget about that... LF will just say it's proprietary "crown jewel" type stuff and withhold. But you've hit the nail on the head. LF is trying to "talk the talk" but isn't "walking the walk". LF, just show something, anything, in your history of over 12k posts that's remotely technical. A script, a function call, a formula, decent pseudo-code. Something that's helpful or novel or interesting or a little creative and all these people "throwing shade" will think twice. Until then it's all hot air and no one will give you the benefit of the doubt.
%% LOL when i use GOOG, I almost always give them permission for ''location'' also But not on Duck Duck go, that duck dynasty does not need it I would share most anything with a programmer wife. My Community+ Local banks know a lot about me,[ Insurance Company, somewhat]; but unlike BAC, the local banks have character, capacity to pay + collateral, conditions. Would i share much of anything with BAC types[now LOL], BAC under 200day moving average. NO Most any kind of business secret get discovered; or even if not like Coke, KFC, competition may do better, in time.
This is a trading forum. Collaboration means "for $2 i get to beat you with a pool stick until you have detached retinas"
