I tried, and I couldn't get it to compile with anything. Do they document the actually API itself anywhere?

If you want boring, you should formalize it into a mechanical system and automate it. Works for me.

Thanks for sharing! This is interesting.

If your system works, why in the world wouldn't you trade your own money? Take out a loan or something. You say "small drawdowns" so it would be low risk.

Free trade is good, but the EU is not free trade. Whether Brexit is good/bad depends on how it's replaced.

I've heard about this in regards to college admission, but how could it apply to trading? Can you give an example?

Snap Interactive (STVI) did a 1-for-35 reverse stock split on January 5th, which explains most of the rise in your chart. The jump in February might be confused investors, but who really knows? You should consider using back adjusted prices when charting. It's less misleading in cases like this.

Yes, do what Handle123 says and file a chargeback with your credit card company. He won't sue you because: 1) he has nothing to stand on. 2) it costs more than $1699 to use an attorney to sue somebody. It's kind of dumb for him to not just give the refund, since a chrageback will hurt him. I'm...

I'm working on a python trading system too. I'm starting with only doing EOD trading, which I think is much less risky. You might want to do the same, rather than diving in with both feet. I don't think it makes sense to fully automate it until you've already proven that it actually works. I'm...

Without the "gig economy" a lot of those in the self-employed category might otherwise be unemployed. That makes the statistics misleading when you simply don't include all the people earning zero.

It's a good idea, but lots of people are already doing it. Might make more trading in the opposite direction, since the market still seems to be over-reacting to Trump's tweets.

Is anybody planning to make money by going short?

The best you're going to get for free is probably end-of-day data. You know businesses are built around selling data, right? Hard to do if it's free.

Why not just trade from home? I mean, do you want distractions? I wouldn't worry about security, just make sure everything is encrypted.
