Tell me what you think.

Also there's one and only one defense with respect to abuse either at interviews or after you get the job: having a large stash of money, which allow you to say NO to abuse.
At least 5 years runway, entirely on your own "payroll". If you're actually competent, that's more than enough time to pick any skill (possibly starting your own business rather than look for a job using it), if you can do 12 hours per day by your own choosing on whatever you see fit.
Don't have those 5 years but only 1-2 or, god forbid, have nothing more than a few months on top of a large amount of credit you have to pay back.... and you're in the 99% percent of desperate and destitute crowd who will submit to anything in exchange for a bowl of soup (guarantee they never break out of slavery).
Problem with the solution is that it's a vicious circle: if you don't already have those 5 years of savings, chances are you're never going to save them anyways.

It's also the kind of thing that has the potential of getting you fired, while they keep the idea and the code.

There's also this very real phenomenon: "Retaliation: A Guide for Vindictive Bosses" - http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffschmitt/2012/12/10/retaliati...

I'm reproducing here a post that I make to a specialized comunity. Got few answers from them and none from the 100,000 quants from Wilmott or nuclearphynance (specialized forums dealing with this: https://imgur.com/a/FvgJr4y In short I'm a loser who spent the last 15 years working on an "overnight success", which all informed minds know takes 10 years.. tops. So way past deadline I'm a loser and should go where losers go.
=== Monetization path for selling / licensing trading strategies ===

So in addition to the technical roadmap, there's also a business roadmap ahead: Biz_1) Offer a free version of the client app, bundled with some default / demonstrative / well known trading strategies. Don't expect these strategies to work wonders and also even they may not be free forever because running a server costs money. So it's more like a trial version with extended use. Biz_2) Offer a premium plan which delivers and runs some proprietary strategies that I developed myself. First one is a relatively HFT one, not bad if you get the executions but too infrequent for me to make much of it. Still $5 / year or so for it would result in almost surely making more than a customer would pay for :)
Biz_3) Offer a "deluxe" plan which basically delivers this: https://imgur.com/a/VTKiFOp ===
