However, it will be a "quick-and-dirty" version that works with the Oanda api. I have no idea about Metatrader and have no intentions of learning it. I am sure you can easily modify the code to work for other brokers, but that's not something I plan on doing.

Thanks for the idea. I will code it up and let you know how it works ;-)

Why not do it yourself? It is very easy. Here is an excellent library for Forex-trading with Oanda: https://github.com/hootnot/oanda-api-v20 This is for example all the code you need to download the first 5000 price-candles: accountID = your_account token = your_token client =...

Why? Code that run on Mac should normally run fine on Linux in the cloud. I do all my developing on Mac which is a lot more user-friendly than Linux, and then I upload it and run it on Linux based cloud platforms. I agree that Windows should be avoided as the plague if it is related to data...

In the weekends I have to spend the money I make all week. No need for it just to accumulate. Isn't that what all traders do?

The main issue is that there are very few traders here. It is mostly gamblers, beginners and "get rich quick"-type of people that frequent this site nowadays. It is probably too much to expect to get valuable insight from a bunch of people that believe 100x gearing is conservative and that one...

1:200? Why don’t you just donate the money to charity. Your chance of being successful with a 1:200 leverage is as high as the charity noticing your good deed, and give you a million as donor of the month. Anything above 1:10 is just gambling. And unless you are a seasoned pro, you shouldn’t...

I have been trading forex for the last 6 years, and have gradually increased my leverage after thousands upon thousands of trades. As of now, I have a leverage around 2.2 or so. Only idiots will use high leverage. And of course the gamblers that are treating forex as a horse race....

Haven't you heard that not everything Billy Bob tells you one Facebook is true? Everyone and his brother has a MBA. They are almost worthless nowadays. MBAs used to be the thing, but unfortunately that is 20 years ago

Sorry. Have never tried mt4. However, there are tons of code examples also for mt4 at their site. At least I think so. However, this code is just to run in a Python interpreter, and it will work as it is. Just get the token and an account

Don’t...... If you have found something that works, stick to it. Don’t try to be creative.

Well. I have been doing this for a while, so I have about 8 tb data laying around running models on. And my algos are trading 24 hours a day... I guess it takes the fun out of trading. But, as long as I make money, I do not care that I "am not allowed to touch anything" ;-) However, I am not...

Learn Python?

I trade with algoritms, so it is as easy as writing len(instruments) and I get the answer 193. My code gets all the tickers to scan each individually for opportunities

It is people below 25 that are not in school or other programs. The EU youth unemployment has been very high for a long time. It may have spiked, but it has "always" been very high compared to for example US standards. As an example, about 85 % of people under the age of 30 in Italy still live...

Oanda had 193 last time I checked...

And if Pandas is not enough, one can just upgrade to Dask....

Python out of style? That has been said since 2005, but is not more true today than it was back then....

Python is easy to learn. Just go for it. Excel will be a dead-end anyways, and if you want to get anywhere near remotely serious about this, you need something more powerful.

It is very hard to pinpoint what you are doing wrong, but I would expect position size according to your portfolio has something to do with it. Not that you are reaching any limit, but that you are somewhat nervous when you are placing your orders. You feel like you have to get it right, and you...
