    Bernie Sanders...Is this a case for buying and holding quality stocks??

    Medicare is just built into our system. Taxes pay for it. Our taxes would be quite higher then U.S. My wife and I pay 100$ a month for a health plan from her work but that’s just for eye, dental, prescriptions, massage/chiropractor, that kind of stuff. There are cases where Medicare here will...

    Bernie Sanders...Is this a case for buying and holding quality stocks??

    If it needed right away you’ll get in. My hernia repair took 3 years. My what they thought was appendice was removed the night I went to ER. Turned out to be perforated because of mucasen overproducing( cancer I a sense). I had a consult with a surgical oncologist within months To discuss and my...

    Bernie Sanders...Is this a case for buying and holding quality stocks??

    The average population doesn’t understand how stock markets work. Most my friends/family don’t really understand how stocks are priced. They think it’s some hard value that the powers to be decide. I’ve also had many co-workers who are always trying Penney stocks. The idea is they can own...

    looking for software

    Yahoo can be a mess. Good to code some sort of scanner to look for bad quotes, missed splits, etc. Alright to get your feet wet but wouldn’t throw an automated system on it. Stock data is a mess anyway. Common method for dividends is to backadjust data to account for but then if you use price...

    looking for software

    Many of the backtesting software out there are capable. I use Amibroker myself but realize that it’s just a software, data is required separately although Amiquote is a separate software they sell that supports a few free sources of data like tingo, yahoo, quandl etc but you get what you pay...

    What episode of Chat with Traders do you recommend ?

    Linda Raschke’s I found solid. Think Ernest Chan was on there or maybe it was better systems trader. Same for Kevin Davey, Perry Kaufman, think they did chat with traders but maybe the other podcast.

    who is tesla's energy storage (namely power wall/bank) competitor?

    Calculation needs ohms( resistance). 1 volt lacks any way to get through humans skin to allow amperage to get to dangerous levels for humans. Take for instance a simple car battery. You could touch those leads all day and never get lit up. E = I x R. Voltage = amperage x resistance. You...

    To Fib or Not to Fib, That is the Question, Dammit!

    Always saw fib like “y axis grid lines”. Draw enough lines and your eyes will make a pattern. Seems that if a level has any significance, you’d notice it without any lines.

    Busting the Top 5 Myths About HFT

    I’d say point 1 is somewhat true. You need market makers for an efficient market and they should get paid for offering two side markets. But running to other exchanges to front run your order is predatory. Point 2 I’d argue against. Some algorithms are even built into chips now, when you keep...

    Not "Trading Software" specifically, but W10

    My last 3 machines I’ve had were windows 8, 8.1 and 10. Never had an issue ever with an update. Mind you my use is simply. office suite and OneNote, Amibroker, pc games and a browser. Actually I remember 5 years ago my pc went into endless update blue screen. Thought about trying Linux but...

    How to improve my risk management for daytrading.

    I base my position size of my stop/risk. Stock is at 5$, I decide 4.75 is where I know I’m wrong about my entry.( I’m usually about 1.5 to 2 ATR away) So account day is 2000. 1 percent risk of 2000 is 20$. I take 20$/ .25( entry - stop) Which gives me a size of 80 shares. The benefit I...

    How to create Standard Deviation graphs in excel?

    IDE poll

    Besides dabbling with some python in notepad++ and pycharm my experience is minimal. Started the CS50 course and the beginning is all C programming. Could use their IDE which is I believe cloud9 based. Wanted to try and get a editor and compiler setup natively. Started off just using the...

    Where to find the # of Shorted Shares.....

    Don’t think it’s monitored. Problem with an ETF is the outstanding shares can change as they can be redeemed or created so theirs no hard value.

    Need a monitor(s)

    Most the big names offer 49” ultra wide monitors. Debating if I want to go that route or two new 27” monitors. 49” gives same resolution as two 27” monitors except theirs no bezel in the middle. Review I saw for Phillips seemed you could run ultra wide 49”. Plenty of room to split up with...

    ETF performance year by year

    That was a very simple AFL(Amibroker Formula Language). Doubt if I had it laying around still it would be of any use for Python. First step would be to get a updated list of ETF's somewhere. That list I used was a from a download from TC2000 early 2019. Sure theirs some new ones out there(mind...

    Price action how does it work?

    I feel like the term “price action” will be the same as technical analysis. I mean when computers came out, technical analysis was the way to do it. Everyone learned it’s not that simple. I’ve always kind of viewed quantative, technical analysis, price action all the same. You expect the past...

    backtesting reverse splits

    If you had the unadjusted data, and you had some sort of data column that contained the split dates then you could do what you want. For instance IQFeed doesn’t split adjust their intraday day data. The community wanted it that way but believe they provide either the dates for splits or they...

    how can I fill at bid and ask while not alone?

    I dunno. Sounds like your going to get chewed up. Your basically trying to make markets without the access the big dogs have like playing darkpools and buying order flow. My hypothesis is you’ll most likely sit on bid/ask and only get filled when the market decides to blow past you. But best...
