I am looking at buying data from TickData, you can get 30years of 1 minute stock data for about $300. This seems reasonable to me. However I am not sure about the legality of sharing the data. I am also working on a Neural Net indicator using this excellent AI library...

Pat, are you still looking for a programmer? I would describe myself as a moderate programmer, I build mainly business applications. I may be interested in a joint project as long as its not ultra complicated. My maths skills are a little weak.

Hello, Some background information before I post my main questions... I have been reading around the subject of trading for a few weeks now. I am a .NET developer by trade and (like many before me) I fancied the idea of building a virtual trading platform to back-test systems based on genetic...
