    Awesome episode! Unfortunately, I wasn’t taking notes and the episode notes are curiously devoid of link-love.

    Can we get some links to those platforms?

    I skipped around to find some of them:

    @botj – Yeah, I’m sorry for not having a lot of links for the interview. I guess I’ve gotten in the habit of writing short descriptions for the interview episodes, which isn’t great. The reason probably lies somewhere between not having time to do it and just being lazy. 😉 But we really do appreciate it when our valiant listeners pick up some of the slack for us.

    Hi guys, thanks again for the chance to blabber about the subject.

    One aspect I wanted to discuss but we happened to miss in our 90 minute (!) chat… How do you go from an interesting strategy, to actually making money off of it?

    A few options beyond trading your own capital (or convincing a rich uncle to back you):

    – collective2
    – covest.

    These services allow you to make money off of your trading signals without too much hassle. You can charge subscribers monthly fees, for example.

    I really liked the interview as it was a little bit off the beaten path. It was also timely as I could talk to my now 14-year old son about an example where applying math can give you an edge.

    Gentlemen, I don’t want to be rude, but it’s the highest time that you post a new episode. 😉

    @Axure – Yep, we’re going to record one this afternoon. I was on vacation the weekend before last and Justin was on vacation this past week, but we’re going to be getting back on track.
