Hi all,
I have a lot of programming experience in different programming languages (Java, Python, and C/C++), and am seriously considering doing algo trading as a retail investor (aside from my full time job). I want to be able to receive real-time feeds, and code up and execute my own strategies - all without manual intervention, since I will be busy at work during the day.
Is this realistic? Looks like the fully-automated trading software that is available through the brokers currently is not mature at all. Am I correct?
What sort of an initial investment amount (trading capital+brokerage signup fees etc.) am I looking at? I do have good quality hardware available, so that is not an issue.
What sort of returns can I expect?
Thanks for your time.
