I am working on a number of projects at the same time, but the only one that I am wanting to outsource is the development of a tool that can scan a period of historical stock market records and will be able to determine the optimal investment strategy for that period.The input can be either a flat text file containing stock market tick data (easily parsed) or can come from a database table. I have no preference on how you want the data stored.The program will then decide the best times to sell and buy stock. The performance measurement of the program will be how well the program performs.If you were to implement this using an A search, the initial state would be: time 0 cash on hand some number US Dollars stock portfolio dictionary stock symbol 1 number of shares stock symbol 2 number of shares . . stock symbol n number of sharesAt each tick of time, you can decide to make a stock market purchase if you have cash on hand. You can also decide whether or not to sell any stock market shares that you own. Or, you could do niether.The heuristic for the search would be the slope of the line from current price current time to high price time of high priceI want to use java because my other tools will be written in java and I want to easily be able to later add a GUI interface when I take the product to market.If I am satisifed with the work on this project, I will have other project work (development of a stock market trading simulator, etc).I will leave the approach to you completely, but you will need to have some familiarity with very large search spaces and probably Artificial Intelligence. The stock market data I am working with is around 6 million transactions per day.TechnologyService:JavaSQLMessages Posted: 0Developers Bid Delivery Within Time of Bid Rating himanshusharma 50060 day(s)712005 9:26 (EST)(No Feedback Yet)
Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
