It seems that every year in April and May I get extremely busy with work and my professional socieites! I guess everyone wants to get as much done before the summer break and the same goes for me!

This coming Thursday I’m having my second meeting with the ATS team to see 1) who’s on board, 2) what the end game is for the ATS, 3) answer any questions they have, and 4) come up with with a project plan with milestones. My main goal is to have to have prototype ATS up and running by end of summer that focuses on Stocks first. If its successful then we’ll be adding in a Forex option, Genetic Algorithms, and Neural Nets.

I ask my readers to please be patient as I expect posting to become intermittent as the ATS project kicks off. I suspect it will take up a lot of my free time as I make my dream become a reality.  The best way to be alerted to any new posts when I do check in is to subscribe to my RSS feed and/or follow my Twitter postings.

I will keep everyone apprised of its progress and if the team is willing, share a few “sneak peaks” on how its shaping up!

Oh, I’ll be hosting the next Rapidminer Meetup this June and if no one shows up this time, I’ll drop it completely! That will be your loss, not mine!
