I appreciate you having taken the time to clarify and I apologize for getting the wrong impression based on the good/bad questions. Thanks for...
I understand. It seems, though, that the good/bad question distinctions are a bit nuanced:...
I see how this specific forum is well-defined. However, early on when it came to be (I think last year?) I wondered: why is there a programming...
Keep in mind that even though they are resin parts, they can be used to make injection molds etc for mass production. But, there are companies...
I think this is legit. Been done in other developing countries though mostly Asian.
Thanks - I do think you are correct it's not a good idea for someone like you. What would you do if today you had less than $100k, some gaining...
Very true. Thanks for responding about the off-thread non-manual space. I tend to get whatever feedback I can (especially when it's good)...
Understood and appreciate the insight. Too high-end for a garage quant likely to compete. But, I've been a programmer long enough to know that...
For your algo work, what framework do you use for data storage and analysis? What data sources? I'm guessing a lot may be custom but I always...

I've used pretty much all of the models in the Precision and Optiplex lines from Dell. You'll probably get more value from a T3500 but the...
If the delay is in your code releasing the order, not sure why dedicated line would help. If the delay is in receiving an ACK for the order, then...
I would try looking at business associations - even if they are not related to your line of business. I paid $400/year to join a high tech...
If you have no negative months, and returns range from 1% to 9%, you _will_ have a respectable annualized sharpe ratio (> 4) no matter how those...
Take jcl's advice and get your annualized sharpe ratio. So, if you calculated some monthly returns, you'd take sqrt(12) *...
I agree - but I think the mythical ideas are sometimes reinforced by (non-deposit) prop firms themselves and it exposes how it's not easy to know...
Well I always enjoy reading insights into how people get to where they are - trom's path looks to be fairly traditional. Some people have...
Well, it may just be that simple.
Separate names with a comma.
