    Introduction to Computational Finance and Financial Econometrics

    Thanks for the link. I'm signed up, I wonder how much of the texts I need to read before the course. I hope I can follow the lectures well enough. I'm signed up for this one: https://www.coursera.org/course/compinvesting1 Computational Investing, Part I but it's always TBA, they don't...

    Anyone trade at night?

    I'm in US, I've shifted to trading at night, it suits me well, catch the Asia and Europe markets. Since forever, it's easier to stay up later than to wake up at the same time in the morning; waking up earlier, headache, fog, nausea, end-of-the-world feeling, it's like a hangover even though no...

    In the formation, is the Jan 22 low to 125.38 supposed to be a drop, or a dropping?

    3-D prinnter builds homes in 20 hours. 5 million vacant homes in U.S. already.

    Very interesting, I hope it works out to something. But one detail seems strange -- the professor is from Univ Southern California and proposes building homes out of concrete? Or do they have some new kind of concrete for the process that is flexible to withstand earthquakes?

    Thanks for pointing this out -- this is exciting, I wouldn't have known the website to watch it live. Sounds like they're about to separate, or they're getting some heartbeat or something ....

    Do you know how to program?

    Thanks for the link, I'm signed up. I wish their courses were sooner. Free online video courses seem like they would get a lot of people who sign up interested in the title, but since it's free get bored and discontinue after 2 videos. I wonder how this site has it designed, it seems like...

    noisy computer ? - reminder

    Thank you for all of the suggestions. I wish I had more info to help pin it down. I agree it's weird, it's only my current machine I've ever heard it. I'll try those suggestions when it happens again which will probably be in late Dec. My guess based on the sound is one of the fans, it sounds...

    noisy computer ? - reminder

    Any ideas what this one is: Sometimes in the winter, when it gets cold (probably down to 50 or so, but definitely not freezing) I turn on my desktop computer and within 1-2 seconds it makes a loud whining sound, loud enough I can hear it in another room. To stop it, I turn the computer off then...

    THE END GAME 2012/13 - Ex Goldman Star - Trading Will Be Banned

    I don't think they need "printing presses" anymore, they're not going to hand out cash. With debit cards and phone-to-phone electronic transfers et al, all they need to do is add a 0 or 00 to all accounts. Or a software patch quickly updates all accounts to the new currency, no need to try...

    Reversing a losing system?

    I've also found this doesn't work. Going back and looking at the trades on the charts led me to this opinion: with a system with larger TP than SL, it enters at many points from where price wavers both up and down by the SL amount before moving the full TP amount. In this case, a certain percent...

    how to use pandas.io.sql.read_frame?

    If anyone was wondering about the original question, I found a way to do this - use MySQLdb to get a cursor (instead of pandas), fetch all into a tuple, then cast that as a list when creating the new DataFrame: my_DF = DataFrame(data=list(tupleFromCursor), columns=columnsFromCursor)...

    how to use pandas.io.sql.read_frame?

    I have python 2.7, and pandas 0.7.0, and I'm trying to query MySQL. When I do the query, the records in python are a bunch of tuples. I'm trying to convert them to a DataFrame, but not having much luck. I've tried with pandas.io.sql.read_frame(), which is supposed to return the result set as...

    Trading room chit chat

    Here's my barstool philosopher theory, which I just made up, but makes sense to me: The point of disgust is to motivate the creature to avoid stuff that will make it sick, stuff that may have new germs and viruses that the creature does not already have and would expose the creature to risk of...
