If the system is really *that* great, the guy's probably not going to sell it to
you anyway if he's a trader. I wouldn't have a problem with this at all - seems
like a good division of labor. Since traders spend most of their time actually
trading, they have a lot less time for system development than someone who is
able to go at this full time. While one may pick up a sense of what works and
what doesn't through trading, which can be very helpful in designing systems, I
don't think there is any reason why one would ever have to have traded to become
acquainted enough with the task. Besides, as Bob points out, trading isn't for
everyone, and it's not hard to imagine a very talented person who may prefer to
spend his time in the designing and testing end of the profession. As for
Pierre, since he's a software developer, it's hard to imagine how he would have
time for trading anyway, while still being at all serious about his product. If
I were to buy it, I'd feel a lot better about the purchase if he was devoting
all his efforts to the software, and not just monkeying around on it in his
spare time while the markets are closed.
Regards and Good Trading,
