MATLAB is super easy for the simpler machine learning algos as it is point and click but it is expensive and R is free. You can literally run the 5 or 6 algos in a matter of minutes in Matlab. The free version of Matlab called Octave does not have the point and click features. R and MATLAB both...

All, I've been reading up and I want to post a correction to this post. It appears that Viola-jones has long been outdated and now convolutional neural networks are used for image detection. This does not require feature engineering. Also, most board games (other than Go) are essentially search...

Is there a way to get sponsered by a third party?

Absolutely not. You are way off the mark with comparing AlphaGo to trading and completely wrong that you can use raw data. Board games or video game play is an unsupervised machine learning problem, trading is a supervised machine learning problem. A win in a board game is the result of a series...

Anyone have any luck using adaboost?

Obviously, but the question is what algorithms do they use for pattern recognition and how is the data formatted so the computer can understand it? There are many machine learning algorithms. For instance, in spam detection, they convert the email into a bag of words, which is a list of words...

Thanks for the post. Good informative video! I'll give some of them a shot.

Patriciap1 is on there, and she was just funded yesterday so I bet those traders already got booted LOL. Here they are, we can check back in 6 months and see if Maverick is correct... 1 albertli 2 alexvish 3 allonblack1 4 benihana1 5 bjorn 6 bofason 7 brookesjd9 8 burke 9 cgrosvenor...

No doubt. The only problem is that your Kelly criterion is prob higher on the open and position sizing math dictates bigger size when you have a higher probability setup. So if you are "trading the money" and increasing bet size as you make money, you may be shooting yourself in the foot...

Ok but if you go live again, you're not going to start with the full 100k or yes?

What if you go live and start losing money... Do you then owe that money?

Ok, I believe that, especially looking at how inexperienced some of these folks are. That would explain why they are willing to fund so many people since most will get booted after inevitably hitting their stop-loss. I'm too sleepy now, but maybe we should write a list here of all the traders...

Looks good for most but no commodities, that is a huge plus for me with TST...

They have 48 funded traders. http://www.topsteptrader.com/Profiles This was trader that was funded today. She can now toss around 5 contracts. http://www.topsteptrader.com/ViewProfile/patriciap/patricia/0 "trading is hard". Yeah you can say that again... Although I don't know that...
