I want to clarify, the intention of this system is specifically to NOT be a HFT system because I'm aware of the large handicap associated with inferior data available at slower speeds. It's intended to primarily help with stock picks since it can look through more data than a human can. This would involve both fundamentals and technical analysis. The most frequent trades would be once a day and may end up being closer to once a month. It is intended to be a low-cost solution. I would like the trades to be done by the system but the approach will not require it. Based on some of the comments it seems such a system will be the underdog and will be the prey for the large HFT shops. And that's one of the risks of such an experiment. Once I put in real money into this (not too much, but just enough to not be consumed by the fee) there will be a hard point after which I'm ready to throw in the towel. I think of this more like an investment management software that has more knowledge than myself (various trading techniques, tax laws, etc.).
