This guy doesn't make videos for traders. He makes videos for programmers (I'm a programmer). He is using trading as an example for how to use certain libraries and tools. Looked at this way his videos are very good for a basic overview and getting started with said libraries.

Random thoughts, If you are going to use python, Dr. Howard Bandy has some good books that include python code (and AmiBroker code). I have no interest in using python. I use Java and will eventually move to Kotlin (a JVM language). That said, C# is a great choice since many platforms use it...

I have found that IB paper trading is very realistic. I have tested running the same system on live and paper, stocks and ETFs with wide range of liquidity, at the same time. All market orders. Over several hundred trades they averaged out to no difference, though they do very on individual...

Hi, I own both MultiCharts.net and AmiBroker, but don't use either in anger. In general both are good products. AmiBroker is what I have been using to just look at charts. It works very well, quite fast. Back testing is very good. Lots of free code, examples and active user groups. Howard...

DTN IQFeed

IQFeed has some fundamental data delivered when you subscribe to a symbol (via the API). There is no historical fundamental data. You would need to get a trial subscription to see if the fields are filled in and correct/up to date. Fundamental Message Format The Fundamental Data Message...

DTN IQFeed has historical tick data available via their API. Use whatever language you want to retrieve it. Process it any way you like. Keep in mind that if you are downloading massive amounts of tick data, do it after hours.

beerntrading is most likely correct. I don't trade futures but in equities even the most liquid symbols can go awhile without a trade. Once you get out of the most liquid symbols you can go for a long time without a trade, especially in the middle of the day. You just need to know how your...

Your plan is the correct approach. And, it depends on your data time frame. Those who test on daily data may be getting spurious results. I've never seen correct daily data for stocks, though it may exist. Obviously you can do all kinds of testing with historical data, which you should do...

The JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is part of the JRE (Java Runtime Environment). If TWS starts, your are running on the JVM via a JRE. You can see it is running in Task Manager/Details/Java.exe. I don't see that IB has a TWS archive, so it seems that your only choice is to try the three versions...

When I upgraded to the latest version of TWS in January, there were immediate memory, freezing, problems. I don't know why they are releasing these, very broken, versions. I confirmed the problems by installing TWS on a brand new machine, latest everything, same problems. Downgrading to build...

Hi smallcapgrowth, First of all, greetings and all of the best to you. You already have shown traits that (I believe) are necessary for success in trading. The understanding that you need to put in the hours studying. You need to practice and know what you are going to do in all scenarios in...

I have three 4k TVs. Two, 39" and 42", hooked up to computers. The 55" will be hooked up to my next computer. I am a programmer and I would never go back to multiple monitors. There is no difference between the quality of the new TVs and monitors for text and charts. They may not be good...

I run out of memory with the latest build. I use Build 952.3b with latest Java, no problems. BTW I tested on a another brand new machine (i7 12 gig etc.), downloading the latest Java and TWS, same problem, out of memory.
