I envisage a site modeled on growstuff.org. Members would collect and curate data on a particular instrument and then offer to swap, or sell, this data with other members. For example you might be keeping a record of the gold price, but require historical data on sugar, so you would swap your...

As this thread shows it is becoming more and more difficult to find free data. One cannot even count on commercial data providers. This is very worrying for all those using automated trading techniques especially. Even if one finds new sources of data it requires re-writing of software. I would...

There seems to be a general crackdown on financial data scraping. It used to possible to scrape free historical currency data from oanda until just recently.

Eat any whole foods: potatoes, brown rice, broccoli,cabbage, bananas, oranges, nuts, whatever. Don't eat any animal products and don't eat any processed foods e.g. oil. Make sure you get enough sleep, around 8 hours a night. This can effect your hormones. Cut back on the coffee. Even if you...

The important thing with a vegan diet is to eat enough. Forget all the rubbish you hear about the dangers of carbohydrates. Humans have low rates of lipogenesis, so however many carbs you eat you will not put on weight. The reason you have fatigue is because you are not eating enough carbs...

If you use Excel you are locking yourself into Windows and Microsoft, which is risky. If you decide switch to Linux for example all your Excel spreadsheets will have to be redone. It is much better to invest your time in developing a system that is durable in the long term. Most of the...

I would avoid Excel (or any proprietary system) at all costs. I have learned this from bitter experience... Python has a lot of powerful scrapping tools. For example, to extract the data in json format use the requests library: req=requests.get(url,headers=headers,params=params)...

I am doing something very similar. I am using Oanda's api and Python to develop alerts and to execute the trades as part of an automated trading system. I would suggest Python for a variety of reasons. It fairly easy to learn. It forces you to write well structured programs. It is open...

I switched to a vegan diet a few years ago, and have found it beneficial in many different ways. I can certainly recommend it. Cancer prevention. I had skin cancer which now seems to have disappeared. Meat is known to be carcinogenic. Weight loss. I'm 62 kg and 187 cm, so for my age I'm in...

If you found programming with oanda's API Rest-V20 easy using the available documentation you are a lot smarter than I am. Much of the documentation refers to the Rest API and has not been updated to V20 which adds to the confusion. Its taken me a while to figure it out and I'm happy to pass...

I have developed an automated trading system in python using the oanda api which is fairly straightforward. I'm slowly putting together a blog which documents how it works. The advantage of oanda for currency trading is the number of pairs it allows compared to IB. Algorithmic trading works...

Agreed....Hitler was first and foremost an anti-semite. He thought Jews ruled the world. Trump is a shabbos goy. Opposite end of the spectrum. Godwin's law proved right again.....

The Republicans have won every election when the digital root of the year was 9. 2+0+1+6 = 9 1800 1872 1908 1980 The only exception is 1944 which was a very unusual election for many reasons.

It is unclear where you get your data from. quandl.py contains only: get data from quandl NOT YET IMPLEMENTED Presumably you are using legacy csv data, but where did this come from and how long are the time frames?

You could do it using php and mysql. Create a cron job to run a php script which would collect the data and store it in the database and then use sql to retrieve the data. This way you are not locked into any propriety system....
