[R] Part time equity tick data high frequency trading research
Hi, There seems to be no subsection for work related postings, so please excuse me if this is in the wrong place. I am looking for an English speaking person with very strong R Language, statistics and some financial math knowledge to do statistical research into USA stock tick data. You are probably have a hard sciences background requiring heavy statistical and maths knowledge and have an interest in stock markets (e.g. you know what a bid and ask is for a stock quote). Probably have a Masters or Phd degree. I am an experienced trader, who is researching some high frequency strategy ideas and need someone who can work part-time for 4 months to help with the research. While I have the tick data and understanding of what to do, it takes me too long as I am a developer by trade as opposed to a maths/stats expert. You should have an interest in stocks, so that you have a basic understanding of market structure and quotes. Must speak very good English and have access to a reliable internet connection and Skype. I do not care which country you are located in. You will be dealing with tick data sets with rows in the millions. Skill Set: R Language (strong) Statistics Mathematics Financial Maths (time series analysis, co-variance, GARCH, etc) Java (basic level) Please include a resume and summary of why you would enjoy doing this. Please indicate your monthly rate for 80+ hours per month for 4 months. I am paying for this out of my own pocket, so am very price sensitive?which is why I am going offshore. There is the potential for extending this longer term. This is a great opportunity for someone to learn about high frequency tick data research and make a little money as well. Please contact me directly at aquatradenyc at gmail.com. Thank you for reading and apologies if posted in the wrong area.
