I'm sure you're all familiar with the 90% law in software.
Still after working 15 years and KNOWING about sturgeon's law, I'm not prepared for it: https://imgur.com/a/yGiWnQH
I'm reproducing here a post that I make to a specialized comunity. Got few answers from them and none from the 100,000 quants from Wilmott or nuclearphynance (specialized forums dealing with this: https://imgur.com/a/FvgJr4y
In short I'm a loser who spent the last 15 years working on an "overnight success", which all informed minds know takes 10 years.. tops. So way past deadline I'm a loser and should go where losers go.
=== Monetization path for selling / licensing trading strategies ===
So in addition to the technical roadmap, there's also a business roadmap ahead:
Biz_1) Offer a free version of the client app, bundled with some default / demonstrative / well known trading strategies. Don't expect these strategies to work wonders and also even they may not be free forever because running a server costs money. So it's more like a trial version with extended use.
Biz_2) Offer a premium plan which delivers and runs some proprietary strategies that I developed myself. First one is a relatively HFT one, not bad if you get the executions but too infrequent for me to make much of it. Still $5 / year or so for it would result in almost surely making more than a customer would pay for :)
