2. If you want to make your life easy than the app ( Details post >> https://plus.google.com/100047131994509171277/posts/HcZ9S2uxYDN ) can do it for you because it did the exact same thing for me. Not only will it bring ease to your life but cash will start to flow in your direction because it has the amazing software that analyzes the situation perfectly and makes the best decision for a trade that can turn into a profit for you. So do yourself this favor of bringing the app into your life.
3. I was someone who did small jobs on internet and I used to think about something that can make me earn big. At that time I was referred by a friend of mine who was working in this binary option which really changed my world.(Details Post >> https://plus.google.com/100047131994509171277/posts/1iUEUAaNcEN ). I accept, I had to put some serious efforts at start and I did get a lot of setback but I carried on, and this is the secret behind my secret. If you willing to put effort and get equal reward for it then you can do some serious damage in this trade and this is what I can guarantee you. Do you see rich people and want to be like them? Then why don’t you try that app for binary option trading which is free and people get successful 80 percent of the time while using this. You can go from nowhere to somewhere very far with this app. Easy to use, reliable and most of all it gives result.
4. Very informative video.  Maybe a bit too much information in one video for someone who never was introduced to algo trading.  Even with experience, you can only focus on so much info simultaneously.  Also, I think you trivialized the complexity of actual implementation of an algo strategy, although perhaps a separate video can cover that.  You need skills in logics, not necessarily statistics, in order to initially map out a trading plan. 
   
   Also, having to program the algo in 2 different programming languages (one for backtesting, and one for live trading) adds significantly to the complexity, only high frequency traders needing sub-ms precision would need to do this. Mistakes can be made in duplicating code across multiple platforms, especially if 2 or more people are needed to program.  It is unlikely that one person can do it all.  Usually you need one person who has the courage to oversee and actually implement the algo/risk, and another person who is more focused on the coding.  Most trading strategies could just use mt4, jforex, multicharts, etc for backtesting and live trading.  You can consolidate and remove duplicate ticks so that you do not need so much GB, although tick data in general will take up a lot of space uncompressed.
   
   Some more pictures could have been helpful to explain the different strategy paradigms
