I'm in no way a trading or finance expert and can admit to being super naive around the myriad of things purported experts get up to, worry about or think about in regards to all things market related... so do forgive me but I'm struggling with the implied premise to the original question. If...

There is a reason I only have 14 posts in here or interact minimally with other 'traders' - this industry is full of sketchy opinion delivered with so much incontestible certainty that many not willing to pursue creative and exhaustive investigative approaches end up being thrown WAY off. No...

The best way for you (based on my reading of your recent posts, some things you have said therein, and of course the way you have posed this statistics/programming question) is to look into integrating an existing library such as TA-LIB which has bindings for various programming languages...

UK here using IG Markets (Manual) and Dukascopy Bank (Automated). I more or less make the above point in my 5th bullet here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/what-is-your-opinion-about-tickmill.335681/page-2#post-4950141 As for the death of IG, I won't be holding any breath any time...

Platforms matter in so far as one is able to get comfortable enough and familiar enough with them to do the things they would actually like to do. Some are more feature rich than others permitting really creative experimentation in the endless search for alpha, others provide the bare...

Views Below Relate To Manual Trading Only (unable to vouch for any API related offerings) If you're going to go with a broker in the UK go with IG Markets. Platform is solid and there are no fun and games. I've had losing trades as high as -£5000 go right up to ONE PIP before my STOP and turn...

Could be wrong but I believe by notional traider wanted to know how much actual currency is represented by "1 Lot" - typically $100,000, sometimes $10,000. At Dukascopy for example, buying "1" contract is $1,000,000, buying "0.1" is $100,000, etc. As for this "HFT" business, are you making...

Good luck, Sir. I'm also on the Dukascopy JForex platform. Eur/Jpy is an amazing day trading currency pair with many days spanning 100 pips. Made a ton of money on that pair. Automated wise, I find Eur/Jpy, Usd/Chf and Aud/Usd are performing far better than the others. I cover 15 pairs with a...

EXACTLY :D

Never paper traded (too impatient), so absorbed an upfront opportunity cost of around £25,000 over 4 years. Primary benefits for myself were: 1) harsh baptism through the fire, gaining an immediate understanding of the market's "nature" and the level of respect the market demands. 2) learning...

Matlab is a brilliant platform for many use cases - this is irrefutable. If you are currently, or in any case aspire to be a 'quantitative trader', your primary tool I'm sure will end up being Python due to its rich set of supporting libraries, knowledgeable community, and the extent to which...
