    What is the craziest mistake you've ever made trading?

    Mine is pretty straightforward -- I was trading E-mini futures and somehow left a position open without closing it and it was sitting open for like two days until I got an alert and noticed I was ~ $2,800 in the red. Naturally it would move in the wrong direction. Lesson Learned: Pay...

    Tradier's real-time datafeed for AMD stock and options

    I am recording their real-time feed from market open to market close for this entire week. It has all stock and option data including trades, quotes, fills, etc. If anyone is interested in getting a copy of this data to compare it with the data they get from their broker / datafeed company...

    Programming interviews

    I've been asked a lot of questions in programming interviews, but by far the most interesting one was the "two eggs" question. You have two eggs -- both are exactly identical in every way. You are in a building with 100 floors. Your job is to find which floor of the building is the highest...

    Tensorflow / Machine Learning and Trading

    Has anyone played with Tensorflow to train it to just make positive returns from the market? I'm sure someone has done something with this -- but I think the one real way to make this effective would be to actually have a general AI that is capable of scanning news stories and then hacking into...

    Why are my Graphics cards failing so often ?

    If they rolled off the same assembly line / batch -- I'd say yeah. But if they failed near the EXACT same time, I'd be looking at power surges, static charges, etc. One thing you don't ever want is the cables from the back of the VGA card getting near carpet. I actually had one blow because...

    Programming interviews

    Having been on both sides of the table, I've grown to see interviews as a necessary evil. As I've gotten older, I've learned the true power of networking. Once you build a name for yourself and have worked with some great companies, you basically can write your own tickets. That said, the...

    Why are my Graphics cards failing so often ?

    There's a difference between a static shock and a 60Hz tingling sensation, though. I'm wondering which he meant.

    Why are my Graphics cards failing so often ?

    Wait. You get a constant shock if you touch the chassic of the CPU? Like a constant tingling sensation? Call an electrician if that's the case. Sounds like you could have some sort of fucked up floating ground or god knows what. Actually, I remember something like this happening to a...

    Let's do this AMD

    Yeah, I have covered calls spread out and one is going to get called in 3 days if it stays over 13 but that's fine by me because I've made a nice bit. Wow, it is on fire -- look at it go.

    ATI FirePro Multimonitor Graphics Card Question

    What resolution are you driving? The VRAM really is for 3D and gaming so if you are using the monitors to trade, you shouldn't have any problems with incompatibility. On a second note, just how many monitors are you running total?

    Tradier API examples using Python

    If there is interest, I'll continue to build on these code examples and perhaps eventually create a full featured library for Tradier. This is a basic example of connecting to Tradier's stream API and following one ticker and all associated options...

    I agree 100%. I feel so bad for everyone, but at the same time, I really hope they don't bring metal detectors to casinos now and treat everyone with suspicion who ask for a high floor # facing the strip or something. I'm so sick of living in a culture of fear. Most people are good people...
