For Those Who Sent IM’s:
Thank you and I appreciate all of the kind support!
However, I’m sure that you will understand my reasoning for not wanted to conduct research here. I’ve worked too long and to hard to deal with idiots anymore. So, I won’t be doing profile here as some people cannot appreciate the hard work that goes into a multi-year project such as this.
I understand that this is not an academic site, where that kid of dedication and commitment is appreciated. I could post 100 successful profiles for 266% net gain each, and I guaranteed you that there would still be some joker out there “making claims” of trickery and fraud and ill intent….. I’m just not into that negative and irrational scene.
So, here’s what I will do: I will include those of you who sent me private Instant Messages in any public offering notification that I make. I will be taking ALL of my research off-line permanently from this point forward. Building a trading system such as this requires that you not only build the core, but you must also make the user interface very easy to use – or people will just get more confused and have less confidence in using it.
That was “part” of the purpose for doing online profiles and obtaining feedback in the form that I suggested in a previous post. Taking input from people during the development cycle is a better way of arriving at the final product that meets as many needs as possible. But, I will no longer take this approach. I will build it – and either people will like it, or they won’t – pure and simple. No more public involvement in the development process – to much of a headache dealing with bad attitudes and wrongheaded conventional thinking.
If you are interested in getting on the first respondents mailing list, then send your email request to: [email protected]. In your email, please include your Trade2Win Username – that way, I will know that you were one who wanted to participate in the live trade profile feedback. Your request needs to have your T2W Username, so I won’t have difficulty identifying how you heard about this trading technology.
Answers to common questions:
One:
I have no release date. At this point, I have a “delivery” problem. The prototype was built in Excel given its ease of development and ability to make changes rapidly without compiling and re-compiling code. That presents a web delivery problem. I’ve looked into converting the Excel application into Flash and then distributing the application in a Flash environment.
The problem is that this application is real-time and there is no way (that I can see) to get a flash site refreshed in real-time. Flash would be really nice because of some of the things that can be done with full motion graphics. So, I’m going to have to translate the Excel code into Java code and build a Java Application Server of some sort. Java is more open to bringing web applications to life than is C++, although I have seen some really nice looking C++ web applications delivered to the browser. I just don’t want to force traders to down load a full desktop application to their hard-drive. With a java server, only a 32bit plug-in would be necessary on the client machine. There are also some security issues that work better in a Java environment in terms of session control.
So, this is the next big step in the process. Building the technology is one thing – delivering it easily to the desktop via a browser over a secure connection is another story. I need to be focused on that task, and not managing idiotic posts from clueless individuals.
Two:
I still have to decide that this is what I really want to do. The more I deal with “people”, the more I think that developing a single protégé or a small cadre of top traders for other projects, is the way to go. My goal is not to be trading the markets each day – that’s for the birds. My goal is to get on with my other projects that are still on the chalkboard. I have projects that will require a lot of capital to fund properly. My interest is in children, hospitals, medical care delivery, disease research, and aviation/aerospace science – so let your imagination fill in the blanks. I’d like to establish global organizations to deal with these issues and billions will be required to fund them from the ground up. There are individual organizations around the world that tackle several of these items in isolation, but none of them approach these concepts with the kind of synergy that I envision.
So, the cadre and/or protégé concept is still very valid in my mind for these purposes – that will require individuals who are talented leaders and skilled at building and leading organizations. Therefore, no final decision has been made with respect to whether or not there will even be a “public” presentation of this technology. If, the broader public delivery of this trading technology is the chosen path – then I will at least have your email to follow-up with.
That’s the purpose for sending your email request to be notified when this project is ready – and for no other purposes.
Again, thank you for your kind words (yes – I do hear you loud and clear), and good fortune in your trading whatever you do. I would wish you “luck” but I do not believe in luck. But, I will wish you good preparation and excellent execution.
