I discovered quantopian.com and will give it a look. I also found cloud9trader if anyone has an opinion in it as well. Thanks for all the input!

I've used all the python libraries you mentioned and I think that is a good strategy for developing a system and backtesting against historical data but there isn't a way to go from there to placing orders that I am aware of. I appreciate the input!

I am a software engineer with expertise in JavaScript (including node) and Python. I am interested in creating my own trading system. I am most interested in testing my system against various forex pairs. I am also a mac user. What trading platform should I use for creating and testing my...

Some form of snatching, some form of clean and jerks, either squats or pulls and some prehab, mobility work - about 2.5 hours. There is a fair amount of sitting around. I don't know what ALCAR or ALA is - can you explain please. I work out around 4 pm so coffee is no good for me unless I want...

Sorry for the long post. I only do oly lifts and squats, pulls, presses etc. I weigh about 105 kg. I want to lose some fat and slowly move down to 94 kg. I usually lift 4 times a week. Generally the first 1/2 of my workouts feel great and then I drag ass for the second half (usually around...

I'd recommend not using straps if possible as building grip strength is important. Chalk and a hook grip should be good. Reverse grip only when necessary. EDIT - sorry didn't realize I was responding to 20 pages ago.

Creatine is the safest and most researched product on the market. I don't know if there is anything on post workout timing but you aren't going to hurt yourself. I take 5-15g every day. You need it to accumulate in your system.

I don't have a dog in this fight but I have read through this thread. I am a self-admitted noob to trading and from my perspective the way posters act causes me to minimize or maximize what they have to say. We all have spent time on the internet and there is a knee-jerk reaction when I see...

When you use the term "mean" is this just a simple 50% of the range regardless of price structure or are you looking for the price level that the range is revolving around as in the chart posted? Would you consider the third pink horizontal line to be the mean of the previous range (maybe a...

It was a pretty fun day for "just watching". Here is my chart for the end of the decline. Seems pretty text book.

I've been following the conversation over there. I'm just trying to keep my thoughts in one place - so to speak.

I've been looking over other people's journals and quite often the first 20 pages or so is them going off on a tangent (trading too soon - whatever), DBP kindly nudging them toward a method that is more likely to produce productive results and good habits etc. This course correction continues...

Some more watching today. I was again confused around the open. I believe mainly because I had an expectation of a certain behavior (namely a selloff). It seemed safe given we stayed in a tight range for the last hour of premarket after the news bar. So when the fast selloff didn't...

We've been inside the range defined by the 8:30 news bar. Buyers working on 3720 again.
