    How Do You Build Systems Using Python?

    Why don't you look it up yourself, you obviously don't have RSI, just a lack of mental capacity to do intelligent research yourself. The wonders of having an eidetic memory, I remember your idiotic non-answer posts from before.

    Cheap means do it yourself, expensive means buying experience, everything between is cheap or do it yourself pretending to be something it's not. For free, you can download realtime forex data from true fx, you can get an AWS micro instance for 1yr and an RDS micro instance if you want some...

    How Do You Build Systems Using Python?

    "They don't give you statistically significant results" - R systems made more profit on an equal basis, some would argue that is statistically significant. "Secondly languages aren't profitable" - fundamentally incorrect, if the language does not allow you to deploy business rules in a seamless...

    Bell!!!

    If you don't like lack of transparency or fighting erratic trends, which more than you think prefer, then don't bother going below 240mn (unless your training then lower is better) otherwise you might as well go and bang your head against a brick wall, the results are better.

    How Do You Build Systems Using Python?

    Of course not, a supercomputer can process 0.04% of the human brain in contextual analysis. At advanced levels you can generate 20%/mth return on a few hours per week, to generate 2%/mth with algos you generally work 80hrs per week as a quant rebuilding them constantly for the contextual...

    How Do You Build Systems Using Python?

    The simplest is often to have a database my such as MySQL or MSSQL with OHLC data per timeframe, downloaded for backtesting. If you want realtime it becomes more complex, you have various quant sites that you can code in their infrastructure but you lose flexibility. I have some code for...

    Question for those who believe everything is 50/50 always...

    Non-random, that's the advantage of producing a conclusion on the same level as the summary, clarity. All the best.

    Myth, no time - go for long term trading?

    That depends if your style is go to the market (short term) or let the market come to you (long term). There is no right or wrong, different styles. The entry window is the timeframe, with 240mn you can go and do other things between, with 5mn you can't. If you can do both styles it becomes very...

    Can a spread widen to 200 pips?

    Yes it can, it needs to be remembered that Forex is effectively unregulated. If a broker decides to change the rules that's just the way it is. In theory it should break trust in their company, but these days there's so much dilution and mis-information that knowledge never comes out so they...

    We have topped!

    Well that depends on what happens between now and Christmas, if the Dow breaks then have a 13,000 conclusion. But that's an if, money is made in the intermediate levels on those types of move, the actual move itself acts as a benchmark. It all comes down to the timeframe, if you're looking at...

    Over-trading versus Fear of Loss

    Some days setups are based on fundamentals, some days technicals, others a combination due to focus on lower timeframes. It means your setup only works under a certain set of conditions, and you don't know exactly what those conditions are. If you take all technical setups it's likely you'll...

    Question for those who believe everything is 50/50 always...

    Not sure where you are going with this, but it's definitely the wrong direction. If people are going to trade they should be given access to direct and indirect information, whether they win or lose then becomes their own informed choice. You can still make ridiculous amounts of money this way...

    Question for those who believe everything is 50/50 always...

    Correct, but you didn't take in to account time and the power of belief. At some point it will implode as a fundamental event will come along, it's just a matter of when. If you use all four combinations you risk mitigate.

    Question for those who believe everything is 50/50 always...

    Not sure about the rest of what you are saying, it's not clearly laid out. "Truth" Will Eventually Prevail - that's true but the eventually can be a very long time and can cause so much damage in the process that the truth starts to become irrelevant, the film Inception is a good example of...

    Question for those who believe everything is 50/50 always...

    Because to make a better world and a better life you need knowledge, there are already enough problems in the world so if you can help people make money who then go on to help others then you did something useful. But you can't help anyone until you help yourself, however you need to do it...

    Question for those who believe everything is 50/50 always...

    You are correct, the only part you're missing is that technology and micro economics can take you to 95% of the picture, in some instances 99%, but for perfection you need a dose of macro knowledge. Even with algos they still need constant adjustment, what the developers are doing is...

    Question for those who believe everything is 50/50 always...

    No problem, you are correct and here's why. There are only 200,000 UHNWIs in the world with $30mn of assets and above. You need to compound at 5% per month with $10k starting capital over a generation to just break in to UHNWI status, most would be ecstatic with 5% per annum. To generate...

    Question for those who believe everything is 50/50 always...

    It all comes back to a simple normal distribution, knowledge is power. At each timeframe you have different number of people, capital, direction, goals, risk profiles, all fighting among themselves to remove the others of their capital. Is it possible to unwind select parts of that complexity...

    If you enter a high-probability trade and then the charts movement goes to 50/50, what do you do?

    If you're not sure what to do, always take the least worst, that is to exit. Then always do what you don't want to do, never do what you want to do, and stick to your plan. Unless something changed which then goes full circle back to least worst.

    Where the F is the market going now?

    Correct, here you go https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/halt-youve-gone-up-enough.304455/ They are turning on each, that only happens at capitulation, it's always nice to see a confirmation from the research note last week.
