I would respond with the following if this were my site:
-- You can get the data with history and CSV/JSON/machine readable format if you pay us $x/month.
-- The data accuracy and consistency trust can only build over time.
-- For alpha decay there will be a few select spots that are bid in auction that can get particular subsets of data early by a small amount of time (a day, 2 days). But there is no real solution to this other than constantly adding new alternate data and maybe not even then.
Really really cool implementation and i like that UI. This inspires me of making kinda six degrees separation of companies by the board directors (businesses) and the political climate in my country.
How does a strong co-op program work, and why do you think it's the best? Am from SEA university programs and I don't believe we have any of those. Would be awesome to understand more about the process.
Typically a student must maintain good academic standing and apply specifically to a co-op program to attend, and then an administrative department within the school will run a class on interviewing skills and resumé-building, before helping to coordinate a matching process between students and participating companies for work terms.
In many cases, large companies have special days where they'll come onto campuses to do interviews, and they may take a significant cohort of students each semester. There are often rules like, "you have 24 hours to respond to an offer and may only reject one offer" to ensure good faith been parties and high match percentages when some companies may be more prestigious or slow in their process.
Students then spend 3-16 months (this depends on the school's academic timing and the company's own structure -- 4 months in summer is most common) at a company and if it's a good company, they'll be given real work, strong mentorship, and deep integration into a team, and often students near graduation will get offers of employment directly at the end of their term.
There are also usually very tedious written work-term reports to fill out as a bureaucratically useful artifact of the process. They're typically expository essays of topics like "what I learned at $company", and everyone hates them.
Students will have 1-4 (usually 3) terms out in the real world over the course of their time in school, and graduate with meaningful practical skills and usually a taste of what's available to help assess opportunities.
It's on the whole a great system for a lot of people, particularly those who are using university to increase their employability.
Would you do mentoring? I am interested in doing it but have NO knowledge whatsoever in stock trading. Currently am part-time final year postgrad of machine learning and data science.
I am sorry, but I cant and you should not look for this either... Here are the 2 major problems with mentorship:
1. Your mentor will never tell you a working trading strategy, instead he is going to use for himself to make money... You are his competitor in the stock market, so he'll feed you BS to get your money one way or another.
2. If you end up discovering a good trading strategy and share with your mentor, he'll steal from you, discourage you to trade it or even trade against you...
Sorry to say, but there are no short cuts and you'll have to put the work to reap the benefits... There are no friends in the stock market..
