I think the most constructive points to consider here for Tomasz are -
1) the examination of risk if the primary programmer is
incapacitated: what has been implemented if this should happen .
2) To notify us of the company missions statement so that we know the
direction he wishes to take this product and hence attract like
thinking clients.
WHAT ATTRACTED AB ME was the ability to automate your ideas into real
trading tools. I would loove to see this extend to the whole trading
proces :
1) DATA COLLECTION - fast, flexible ways to gather DATA from multiple
sources and markets.
2) AUTO BACKUP OF DATA
3) IDEAS / CALCULATIONs - ..creation of tools to calculate answers
4) TESTING IDEAS - back trading , real scenario trading , selection
criteria , pos sizing , etc .
5) RECORD KEEPING - automated posting of results, folder notes
attached to a share day or zone so u can construc records journals of
yre trades or obesrvations fast, collation of the notes to export.
6) WORKSHOPS to define enhance skills - this will attract future
staff or programmers how love markets and can program.
