    Automated Trading Is Gambling

    And with an average trade length of 15 seconds and expectancy of 1.0 pips per trade, it seems the best way to profit from this system would be to sell it -- to a school for the blind!

    Class action lawsuit worth it for scalpers?

    The claim form should say what form of evidence they want (e.g., listed in a particular way on their form and/or copies of brokerage statements). I'd think copies of brokerage statements would be good enough.

    Class action lawsuit worth it for scalpers?

    If you received notices giving you the option of filling out a form to opt-in or out of a class, the organization that sent you the notice likely got your name and address from your broker. So the notice would not likely be a scam. If the notice is asking you to become a lead plaintiff, it's...

    Class action lawsuit worth it for scalpers?

    Yes, probably because a court decided the buying company didn't pay enough. When I receive a check in the mail, I usually take the unopened envelope to my wife, sniff the envelope, tell her I smell money, and open the envelope to show the check. She is not very literate in English, and I'm...

    In one sentence, what is your edge for 2019?

    Thanks. I know I tend to make things more complicated than they have to be. But when I try simple ideas, they don't usually work out well for me. I do forward test by keeping a record of what these strategies predict after their daily runs using the same amount of historical data for each run...

    In one sentence, what is your edge for 2019?

    I started forward testing the k-nearest neighbor strategy with some real money this past Friday (bought EPHE iShares MSCI Philippines ETF which had the highest score after February 14). The genetic programming strategy didn't have a signal. The genetic programming strategy can easily overfit...

    In one sentence, what is your edge for 2019?

    This is software I wrote that runs on Windows 10 with C++, opencl, and cygwin. Perl and shell scripts gather daily price and reference data for various assets (e.g., stock indexes and ETFs) using curl and (headless) chrome to retrieve data. Perl and shell scripts preprocess the data to do...

    What About Linux?

    You could run Windows and install cygwin to be able to use your favorite Linux commands (vim, grep, bash, xterm, gcc, etc.) while still be able to run Windows applications.

    Creating a backup usb install for Windows 10 upgrade

    Before doing any Windows update, I use "Macrium Reflect Free" to backup my C: drive. The restores after updates with bad side effects have saved my computer more than once.
