I have been in the FX trade world for about 7.5 years and have primarily focused on optimizing automated systems. I quickly became disenchanted with all the FX bots and their limitations and started writing my own .net software that uses a unique bridge to MT-4 through an http gateway. I spent about 2.5 years building a full system with customized indicators. I still was not comfortable with the risk balance for investing significant capital into my own work so I began outsourcing the development of something far more capable of integrating historical data into real-time trading decisions. I am presently at the demo stage of a product I hope will finally attain the goals I am seeking. This system is being designed with a professor that has invented an incredibly brilliant algorithm for time series data that is both irregular and not easily predictable. The algorithm has been applied to controlling large power grids by predicting which sections of the grid can be safely turned off and save money for power companies. We are using it for price prediction in the FX markets.
I am interested in meeting up with some traders/data/analysts type to have this run in parallel so we can expedite the optimization process. I will need to vet you and you should be expected to sign an NDA.
