Hi,
I'm interested into your project.
A little background about me: currently I'm working as a Java programmer at a major bank (on the portfolio risk management) but I'm also very passioned about trading strategies as well. I'm in transition of leaving this job and start to work remotely on financial projects like this.
Started to study finance/trading world a few years back. I know quite a lot about markets. Then I learned how to program, because I realised that in order to make a sound "system" you need to automate a lot of things and right now I'm learning very hard how to work with quantitative models.
I have experience with Event-Driven strategies.
I can program in C++, Java or Python (we can blend them if necessary. speed of developing vs computation speed).
If you want, I could give you more ideas on the strategy/indicators side as well.
Also I could help you with the risk management part: calculate Value at Risk [CVaR maybe?]. Incremental VaR to see which position from your portfolio adds risk or lower the risk (through negative correlation of that specific position in relation with the entire portfolio)?
I know how to configure linux servers in the cloud or servers colocated to exchanges.
On the other hand, if you want to stick only to your project requirements, then no problem from my side, we will do just that.
Please let me know what do you think.
Kind regards,
Florian
