Who am I? Where do I come from? Where do I go to? I probably asked myself these questions the first time around the age of 5 when I discovered Santa (and God along the way) do not exist. The communist regime we lived in didn't forbid us to believe in them, God's Mercy, there were plenty of...

Tomorrow I'll turn 45. I'll have a few drinks today and evaluate my life so far, then (re-)evaluate what follows next.

Programmers know what this is: a plague of software engineering where developers scratch their butts ahead of time devising architectures and algorithms which should scale well under the envisioned future high load. Which, 99% of the times never happens but the code is an unmaintainable complex...

Also from Hacker News, when they talk about these high stress highly dysfunctional places, it's almost always some finance/trading company. It's like the domain attracts psychopaths to a higher degree than any other one. Much lower probability to have a psychopath doctor or accountant than a...

Well nothing lasts forever so over time I changed jobs. Actually none of the companies I worked for went out of business and it was always my decision to leave for greater pay. The reality of corporate jobs is that it's almost always easier to get a pay raise if you change jobs than if you stay...

I already posted here how 130+ IQ guys (when sober) or 150+ (when drunk) like me fared well enough in the former Soviet Block so it didn't require emigration. We change the World. The World does little to change us.

My current employer (Chinese) while not perfect is a lot closer to what I look for in a reliable collaboration. The "West a lot of money but get used to assholes" and "East nice guys but poorer" paradigm has come to an end.

My 20 years experience as a professional software developer through various companies and projects as well as my interactions with people on this site have concluded this: - Some people (managers) are just garbage. No matter what value they provide, they're a net loss to this world.

I lived to see this too. Not only you gotta work hard to prove your trading system is a winner but people won't accept you beeing a loser, you gotta prove it. Show me your track record of losses, fuckups and bankruptcy or get outta here.

I would normally advise you to "do the opposite" of whatever you think you might wanna do, but looks like you already tried that and are still losing. In this case you posses a special, valuable skill which you can rent for money. You're a "reverse indicator", people would pay you to pick the...

I have blocked a certain member completely from my threads after not only being hostile and unhelpful but launching in unfounded serious accusations against me. Personally I think he has a mental issue and there's just no way to reason or interact in any meaningful way with these people, I...

Ouch!

Not enough capital.

Yes, largely it's the same but it has evolved over time. Already have improvements in progress on the current version.

Well, this was a waste of time. I did get helpful review but obviously not from here and certainly not from the Neanderthalians like some guy commenting on my post. Hint: guy who actually provided useful input worked for Lehman Brothers, Nomura, Goldman Sachs. This is not a professionals but...

Weekly rebalancing so one trade per week. I've in plan to run more simulations but takes time to setup the data and all, will post more statistics when I have them.

Whatever I do I'm provably making more than the market (respective stock, index or ETF I choose). I'll add more statistical evidence to that. You don't have to buy the system by the way, like I said above, worst complainers are the guys who'd never buy in the first place. But "you" are not...

With stocks, I vary the amount I put in the market based on AI prediction of going up or down (more if up, less if down, never zero coze this ain't an exact science). Enough of these statistically correct predictions and I get the extra return that makes the strategy desireable. So if I start...

Read above, it's going to be a bulk transaction of $500 x THRESHOLD_NUMBER or nothing at all. Much like the amount I'd get from a single big boy sale.

I'm aware of that. It's one or the other, clearly. If I sell to a big boy, I get one big payout. If I sell to retailers, don't think I'll sell piece by piece like you'd buy a book on trading. No siree, I'm using a bulk sell system. Otherwise first couple of sells and it's over, obviously...
