Yes absolutely. Mostly consisted of data aggregation, monitoring/reporting, risk/position calculations which eventually led to automated trading (still working full-time*2, so no golden goose).

Though, as you can probably imagine, some of the most successful strategies would be quite illegal in real life.

Best thing that came out of it by far, was the software dev shop that I ended up starting and am still running today. Never would have happened without EVE and it's API.
