Any way to contact best coders on the scene

[vlayceh]

Hello,

I will read and re-read what I post so as not to sound that I'm advertising anything.  I am a coder in a high-frequency trading shop.  In the case you don't know what is it, we're writing super-fast code to do all kinds of arbitrage and provide liquidity on the world markets.  I won't say which team I am in so as not to advertise anything.

As coders, high frequency trading shops by default hire Ph.D. graduates from the top universities.  I've been following the demo scene for a long time and I've always had a great respect for demo scene coders.  I'm surprised I've never seen a demo scene coder in this world.  I don't know why, but I guess one reason is that recruiters are not into getting people from the demo scene.  I think I should at least try to figure out what's going on.

Now, before you assume we're the bad guys: someone has to work with markets and if all the good guys reject, there will be only bad guys.  We need good guys in this world to do good things.

Also, before you assume that we're boring: think about what we need to do to get gigabytes of data processed in real time for running complex algorithms.

Does anyone know of any way I can contact good coders from the demo scene?

The "good guys" can lobby government to introduce financial transaction tax to hopefully kill HFT, for a start. It might be a start towards fixing the economy so that those with PhDs (and everybody else) can have a selection of high quality jobs to choose from, rather than having to work for the "bad guys". Developing algos for HFT could be considered neutral at a stretch, but I don't think it's a good thing.

Welecome to the forum, by the way! Think you should be ok on the not advertising side of things.

While it's not processing gigabytes of data at a time, I have written a Lottery results analyser which has returned some small gains compared to using random numbers.

I could build a number cruncher, but I would need the input data and an understanding of how you want the output to be represented.
