Great! I read your comments and have to admit I'm unfamiliar with what a "collaborative atlas" is or would be? But I certainly agree it's a big problem that scientists are only rewarded for publishing papers. There needs

I agree -- we're making great progress. Science IS working. My point is really just that since the advent of the internet, we've had the potential of making progress much faster.

Thanks for the comment. To answer your questions - Funding availability by country will depend on who our funding partners are (right now we have none). - Yes, we could support existing projects that want to become open. Right now the site

There are plenty of shops making tons of money with HFT who do not have deal flow at all - it's got nothing to do with luck. Survivorship bias would mean I simply got lucky. If you're going to say that you're at least going to need to look

It's easy to fall into that mindset. And in fact, that mindset is right back where I am now. The only reason I had the gall to attempt this in the first place was the the simple fact that I was making money at the time (in 2008) 'manually'

My automated program was much less stressful than trading manually. The best was going to Hawaii, waking up, and having the entire day done. I was making like 6k every day on that vacation. The best!! :)
