13 Jan '14

Hello, My friend and I who are both graduates of the University of Toronto are looking for a person with entrepreneurial passion and an expertise in web design/development. We have developed a tech start up idea that is ready to be put on the web. As neither Mueen (my partner who is an engineer) or I (Specialist in Finance and Econ) have any expertise in web designing, we are looking for a designer/developer who can help us in that area. The designer/developer will get a stake in the company's equity and consequently a part of any potetial earnings or revenues our company will make. Looking forward to hearing back from you. Sincerely, Ayan Saeed

Algorithmic Trading Club
by Daniel Bruce 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Do you want to earn money using your c++ programming skills? Are you interested in working with a team of skilled like minds to put a project on your resume? Do you want to learn more about Algorithmic trading and finance? Do you want to work on something that can lead to a very prosperous career? Hi, my name is Daniel Bruce and I am from the Master of Quantitative finance program at the University of Waterloo. My thesis will be based on using machine learning to build programs that will trade stock automatically in order to beat the market. Interactive brokers is an online platform that allows users to buy stock. In addition, it has a c++ API that allows users to write programs that can place orders and read market data automatically. If we unite as a group of programmers then we can write an independent platform that can be used for trading. This collaboration could lead to the best jobs out there or possibly even a startup. Email me if you are interested! Dan
