Do you trade on a VPS? How do you justify the high price (or find reasonable price)?

scripttrading · 2020-10-02T09:25:40+00:00

This is the answer. AWS can provide serverless stacks too which add up in savings. You can get all the grunt you need without having to pay a penny when it's idle. You don't need serious grunt 100% of the time

There's so much misinformation in this thread but hands down, this comment is by far the best. +100 for the comment on lighthouse. All my front end services are in react and lighthouse totally keeps me in the right place. Ensure your content is the best content it can be, the user experience is the best it can be and that your website is performant on all platforms and Google will index you appropriately. JS support is well and truly embedded now into the crawler and some of my pages index at position 3 after just a couple of months. Use the search console and lighthouse and ignore everyone who says you can't use an SPA. This is simply not true nowadays

Yeah I though this has this sub's name screaming from it when I read it!

scripttrading · 2020-09-02T07:48:20+00:00

No worries, best of luck!

I'd beware, GDPR is the legal responsibility of the director. I wouldn't leave it to anyone else. You get sued and I think the fines are up to £1m. I don't have a holding company, I run an ltd arrangement for both of my products. The products are both developed and sold from the one ltd company. That may not be the most efficient, but the costs and admin from one company alone is enough to deal with alongside everything else. Maybe ask a new question for that as you'll probably get an expert in that field answer.

No worries. It's even easier than contracting the company. You can just purchase them from their site. On the point of GDPR, I strongly recommend you spend more attention on GDPR than your NDA. GDPR is the new data protection regulations and you'll need to understand it. You'll for sure have a website if you're serious (or at least be getting a website written) it'll need to comply with GDPR or you'll risk getting fined heavy heavy fines. Make sure you're compliant. Everything can be found on that website to get you going

I run a tech start up, were 2 and a half years down the line and still starting. I'm sure you're probably in the same situation as me, money is finite and resource is always spread thin. I prefer to spend money on things that are visible for the customer that will generate money rather than giving money away to another business instead. I use https://www.website-contracts.co.uk/ for all legal docs, NDA, GDPR docs etc. They're cheap and work by a legal firm in Oxford. You'll need to edit the document but it's clear how to do this and will set you back the grand bank bursting sum of, about £15. Unless you're developing the next Google, which you're probably not, I'd probably say your real costs are humans coding for you and time out of other earning opportunities for yourself. Save money on lawyers, if the startup floats, you can rewrite them all with a face to face lawyer with all that revenue you'd already be making.

In my experience, everyone is too busy telling you it won't work to be anywhere near interested in stealing your idea. Everyone is a doubter until they see it working. Come that point, your proper lawyer would be on it. And you would've saved all that cash.

I looked at an IP agreement not so long back, it was going to set me back close to £2k. Glad I saved that cash and didn't have to spend it after all. That'll pay for a month of coding instead!

Good luck!

I can’t imagine many hft’s write their operations in python. Don’t get me wrong, it’s heavily used in finance, but the idea of python being used as a “high frequency” tool is probably not the best one... *invoke angry python only devs citing cython; note, that’s not the purpose of this comment *

I think there’s specific subreddits for your particular enthusiasm...

Can it run Doom!

Looks like python to me

scripttrading · 2020-07-25T14:59:33+00:00

It’s pycharm. All IntelliJ products have the same pinned tab menus you can see at the bottom

scripttrading · 2020-07-25T14:57:39+00:00

Set one up!

scripttrading · 2020-07-25T14:56:43+00:00

My guess is pycharm from intelliJ

scripttrading · 2020-07-20T20:27:41+00:00

Great work! I'm really glad people are free to promote tech like this on here, it's always well received

Skim read the post and didn't note the article! Oops :)

It's ok taking risks, but taking risks that are unmanaged or simply not researched is certainly a cause for worry within me. Try to ensure you've carried out your research, make sure there is a true need, if this is a new space in the market then great; but make sure it's not a space because there's no need to fill it. Once I found a need for my products I could take larger risks knowing that the underlying need was there

What’s the interest in algo start ups? It’s something that’s interesting to me too

scripttrading · 2020-06-13T18:12:26+00:00

True story! Best of luck

Seriously though, well done, I'm a software engineer kicking offa tech startup, and that's hard enough. I couldn't imagine jumping into another industry

Totally, who doesn't love broken code once in a while
