what's to keep you from going live right now? credit's cheap. max out a credit card? trade on margin? you really have no access to capital? --or you do but you'd rather use someone elses? pivot?

i GUARANTEE you that people are already trading based on twitter data. i doubt you're really as bad off as you think.

..or maybe you are. yes. actually, your position is hopeless. might as well go open source with it now. sourceforge link pls?
