A trader here that has spent the past few years developing automated modeling solutions. I know how to code too.

I want to see if there any interest from 1-2 people that have an interest in building software for exploiting short-term (~1 trade per day per strategy, not HF) market movements over futures and stocks.

Design is done. I could use some help with implementation. Just wanted to see if there's any interest.

Serious inquiries only from highly experienced programmers who have some background knowledge in the markets.

I don't mean Pavlov. I'm talking about mental toughness. Emotions are arguably the most important thing to manage in life. In some respect, that's what we do all day long.

I'm wondering if any of you know of any techniques to become emotionally stronger/resilient.

The most effective strategy I have found is listening to motivational/positive audiobooks.

Boot camp? I started making a list of hypothetical situations that would elicit the most nervousness/fear from me in various parts of my life (career/spiritual/relationships/health/etc). Just writing the list was difficult. Anyways, made me think some smart guys hear would have some hacks for managing emotions.

I'm sure there are some of you that have written books before. Would like the 'hacker' (if you guys still read this site) approach to maintaining the contents for a book.

I was thinking of some sort of vim extension that had a windows explorer tree on the side of the screen (for weaving through folders/text files).

I am starting work on what will be a rather large project involved in real-time trading (NOT high frequency, but intraday). I've been stumped on the decision to go with Python or Java, which boils down to runtime performance.

After doing lots of research, I have not been able to reach any kind of stable conclusion regarding the performance capabilities of these two languages.

From what I can tell, although Java memory footprint is larger, as well as taking longer to start, it seems that it performs faster than Python does. Although I have read about popular JIT compiler add-ons for python, such as PyPy, that rumor C-like speeds.

So I ask you hackers: which language is better suited for a large enterprise application? This is not a website, it is an application that provides presentation through a browser for private use.

Thank you for your insights.
