I’m working on a satirical newsletter that makes fun of the tech industry: https://techloaf.io I’d like to think it’s cool because a) it articulates and ridicules a lot of nutty things that most of us in tech recognize, but refuse to talk about and b) it’s fun and makes people laugh each week. Life’s too serious, so it’s fun to make something that lightens the load.
I’m working on a new training to help people have better social interactions, aka charisma. Whether they use it to get ahead at work, enhance their relationship with a partner, relate to their kids, gain new friendships, sell something important, or just be able to be in their own company, that’s something that enhances everything they do. I think it’s cool because it’s my small way of connecting a world that has bee…
This is very cool! Kudos for giving back. I'm guessing this is an offline thing?
It’s meant to get people offline and into the real world, but the communication methods are applicable in online discussions as well.

I like that you give a preview before making me sign up.
KloudTrader - A commission-free (flat-rate) algorithmic trading platform. Think of it as the Netlify or Heroku for computational finance. We provide a datafeed and a commission-free brokerage, not to mention server hosting. Basically everything you need to get started. Push to deploy.
- Don't write the core platform in python. The lack of support for concurrency is going to bite you in the ass down the line when you're trying to trade at scale or deliver high performance. I'd stick to C++, Java, Rust or Golang.
- Don't send market data in HTTP/JSON. It's way too bulky and slow. Of course, you can still expose JSON to the end-client if that's what they want. But make sure to send internal messages in a fast, low-overhead, low-bandwidth. Like ZeroMQ + fixed binary encoding.
- Have very clear policies about when/where/why you throttle market data. If you This is the biggest reason why most "algo-platforms-in-a-box" suck. (Using fast market data encoding will help here.)
- Make sure that paper trading isn't running against throttled or consolidated market data. This is going to distort the results by assuming a trader can hit a price that may already be stale.
- Since it's comm-free, you (or your broker) is monetizing with payment-for-order-flow. At the very least be transparent about your policies here. I'd offer the ability to upgrade to smart or exchange specific routing for a commission.
- Since you're doing payment-for-order-flow, keep meticulous records of your trades with microsecond time precision. You can use that dataset to shop around for better deals on the order flow. If you wind up growing the business where you're doing a significant amount of volume, a major wholesaler like Citadel or Virtu can use that dataset to give you a very competitive offer for your flow.
- Be very careful with the market data licenses and make sure you're totally in legal compliance. Exchanges do not mess around and frequently audit their vendors to make sure they're in compliance.

Long-time HFT and stat-arb trader here. Not really your target market here, but I have a few suggestions that you may or may not find useful. - Don't write the core platform in python.

We are working on Doqume ( http://doqume.com ) It is an enterprise search engine which departs from traditional keyword-based search in order to provide an easier way to run complex, semantic queries on huge collections of text documents. Why it's cool: image a pharmaceutical research task, where you need to find all documents mentioning drugs that interact with a specific class of diseases. In a normal setting, you…

We just started sales for our product. Distributed about 30 flyers to restaurants and hair salons yesterday. Because it was the first time for us, it was quite a learning experience. Sales requires a much thicker skin and open ears. Also, because I am an American living in China, I had to learn some new technical words. Our product lets your wifi guests land directly on your web pages. Its a captive portal plus a loc…
The name is quite strange. Does it mean anything?
