Site down -- Love the idea and been waiting for something like this. I want a yahoo pipes (if anyone even remembers that) for algo trading. I'll wait and see if that's what this is when your app is up!
The main reason Alice would like this is to create an audit trail that defends her against any hypothetical insider trading accusations. That is, your brokerage will have records that explain not only what trades occurred (as any brokerage will do), but also why those trades occurred (you ran algorithm F on X input and F(X) is what popped out).

- arbitrage: thing X costs a lot in Chicago and is cheap in New York, or vice versa. buy in the cheap place, raising the price, sell in the expensive place, lowering the price. wash/rinse/repeat: shit costs the same in both places now. people have been doing this since before the wheel, on foot.
Site is currently up. Having some unexpected issues with traffic.
