Thanks. You end up creating that feed by the end of the walkthrough, but as you and several others point out, the payout is way too late. Based on all the useful feedback here, I'll add a TL;DR and rework it so that the first thing you see

It's hard to underestimate the impact that working in a secretive industry has on your career and tools you can build on (points 4 and 8). Trading technology is driven by a really fantastic set of challenges. There are only a few other prob
