I really need to develop some software to help me process the scripts, at least. It's advanced text manipulation. I knew how to do that when I was programming, but since I have left programming, the whole game has changed and now even the best programming languages are going to require me to spend 2-3 months working to learn the language well enough to do it, and I just find it incredibly frustrating for the same reason I can't just hire someone to do it for me: I can't let anyone know how I do this.
But the build and scripting is only getting more and more complicated, so I guess it is better to work on that sooner than later.
If the process wasn't nightmare levels of complexity and months of daily tedium ad nauseum... I might not mind it so much.
I can relate to this dilemma. My trading system is a huge endeavor and I would certainly benefit from outsourcing some part of it to other programmers in order to achieve even more out of this journey.
The question is: How to make that happen without having my ideas copied and used for the profit of others?
I know that this is feasible. All the big and successful HFT hedge funds are doing it. I just haven't figured it out yet.
I guess one of the way to do it is to break down tasks in small ones so that the small piece alone doesn't do much and the creator cannot really understand how it fits in the bigger scheme...
I'm just way too busy right now but in few weeks since I'm a big fan of your work, if I could contribute to it with my programming knowledge, I would be happy to do it.
I could do some programming work for you.
