IMO, you will not get anything more with those $1000 + courses than you can get from the internet UNLESS you have a hard time learning for yourself. Some people need the instruction to make sense of things. If that is true, I still would not spend $1000s. Buy some books first.

I subscribed to his old website Hard Right Edge about 20 years ago. I also read his Master of the Trade book. My personal opinion - he reeks of snake oil.

No. Read the agreements you sign up for when you open an account. Nothing is said about profit. Period

Be aware, to get brackets in Ninjatrader you have to lease or buy their software.

I have had an ASUS laptop, Intel i7, 16 GB ram, for years now and I love it.

Sorry must have been another thread, maybe the the one on why not to code.

No more than trading in general.

Depends on your definition of junior programmer. My definition of a junior programmer is one with a computer science degree, or equivalent experience, who can get an entry level position in the industry. I still wouldn't hire him to implement my strategies. Can someone do functional...

"Interest is up and the stock market down"

You didn't take into account that Mexicans are Roman Catholic and most take their religion seriously. Suicide is a mortal sin to them. You can bear a LOT if your soul is on the line.

It is really interesting to see socialists on this forum. If the left gets it way, there will be no retail trading.

I bought 2 of echan's books. All the coding examples are in Matlab. Since Matlab is quite expensive I tried converting them to python. I couldn't quite duplicate his results.

I think that is the big misconception about the industry. It is quite easy to get into a rut in this profession just as it is in others. If a programmer has been in the same company doing the same thing over and over he/she will never be "nuclear".

I use NT8 all the time and this is not normal behavior. Contact their support.

If you are bound and determined to be a programmer/trader, learn from the trap I found myself in - I spent more time coding than learning to trade. Days upon days the market gave me opportunities and I spent that time coding. Programming is a VERY time consuming task, even if you get good at it.

Not trying to discourage anyone, just stating what I see are the realities of starting from scratch. If you have the time and inclination then go for it. Most people I know think I am wasting my time learning to trade. But this is not only a dream, but a fun pursuit.

Let me give you an example. Years ago the Globex went down for hours. If you were in a trade in an emini you were stuck unless you could hedge with a non-Globex equity. What does your program do now? Can it know the Globex is down?

IMO getting good enough at programming where you put your money in the hands of a program takes YEARS. I personally won't do it. I program to backtest, write indicators, etc. But I will not turn over my hard earned money to it. Way too much can go wrong that you cannot anticipate and code for.

If you are looking to learn to code to automate trading, my advice - don't. It takes years to learn coding correctly, and it takes years learning to trade. Doing both at the same time will screw with your head.
