Just happened pon this board. I quickly looked through this thread and didn't see this idea mentioned. I've worked ACIS who's kernal make AutoCAD what it is. When you want to use their code they provide the object files for you to link into your code. It preserves their secrets but allows you to make use of the functionality. You could try something like that... I have an encryption scheme that could further hide functionality, even during execution. muxzero@inbox.com if I can help.

That was also my first reaction, but maybe the commodities market (which he's targeting) is more inefficient than equities.

Indeed, by winning the Netflix prize you've proven your approach is worth at least 1 million. And by beating some very, very good teams you've shown you know something they don't. That's very valuable evidence. That's IF you can hack it :)

I couldn't agree more. Based on the quality of the teams at the top, if you beat their algorithms you have proven you have something particularly special. I think you'll easily be able to sell it for more than $1 million.
