Hi Does anyone know what hedge funds/trading firms are paying their (or independent) algo developers for the use of successful automated algos? I would be interested in seeing some sort of industry comparison amongst firms for some research I'm doing. My understanding is that there is a...

Risk Profiling The fact is that some profilers are good and some are not - the results also depend on where you are in your trading or investment career) Where they score is if they highlight your strengths and weaknesses - and at the same time help you to make some good financial decisions...

thnx - looks interesting

excuse the question if it has been asked before but does anyone know where to get past intraday data. Eg the last 10 days of historical intraday data? And I'm looking for the data or a site that has it, not a front ended system with a feed. thnx
