    Looks like Yahoo Download API is now Dead - 11/1/2017

    Stock quotes shouldn't be "IP" and the recent crackdown from NASDAQ exchanges/owners smacks of market manipulation and unfair cover-up of public information.

    Switching to Linux from Win10

    Maybe the distro-version of Firefox is older and you could use the latest version? Chrome / Chromium (open source) is also widely supported and pretty fast (though not as slim as before) in case you encounter corner cases on Opera. Having Linux on a laptop is a bit more work and can be a bit...

    How do you stay ahead of the herd/majority?

    Trying to keep up with or beat the other Joneses, is not the way. Observant people will observe and put focus on their own actions, not just copy what others do.

    How do you stay ahead of the herd/majority?

    True, random correlations with increased pnl is not necessarily a true edge. You can find short-lived "edges" using anything, but what you'll find is that they start and end randomly, thus are not really very consistent.

    How do you stay ahead of the herd/majority?

    For every diverse group, there'll always be a distribution of differences. This doesn't automatically mean much of it's a group of ph.d's. Though mathematically, someone will always be on the top, requiring someone else to be at the bottom. It doesn't have to mean the bottom need to "lose", or...

    How do you stay ahead of the herd/majority?

    Years and years of research. Only last 2 years started to see some light. In the beginning you don't know how to look and what to look for. Backtesting and finding ways to avoid statistical spikes is where it's at, but before that you also benefit from learning ABC (general TA concepts)...

    Programmer's Catch 22

    It's not how much you program, but how you present your programming. Typical enthusiast introverts are thus at disadvantage, and should find find different avenues. Preferably becoming owners, and keep the benefits of programming to themselves. It's not that anything typical corporations do are...

    Switching to Linux from Win10

    Windows barely installs these days, even with valid license, and has much worse hardware compatibility than Linux. Maybe Windows 10 has improved over Windows 8 somewhat, but got even more drawbacks than ever. Linux Mint at least tries to install all drivers by default. Sometimes, a thing or two...

    Switching to Linux from Win10

    And with Windows you won't? This may be true for the buy a new laptop to replace windows sheep and Linux 10 years ago, but nowadays Linux is more compatible and usable than most other OS on commodity hardware. Point is it's worth the freedom, depending what you need to run ofc. Running Windows...

    Switching to Linux from Win10

    Haven't ugpraded for years, but will maybe need to soonish. I'd go for Linux Mint, as it's the easiest distro with all the bells and whistles these days. Try a few options as dual boot, and search online until you're happy. Settle with "good enough", rather than perfect, because nobody gives you...

    How do you get over the fear of increasing position size?

    If you put all your eggs in one basket you are open to any of the market's whims. The lure is quick hindsight profits, but over time you will encounter why you should diversify, thus dampening potential profits over time. So for most there's no choice and just a question how to manage money...

    On 10-case geometry and beyond

    The bars are an experiment in NT painting bars by code (DrawRectangle and such functions). Grey bars on non-DOM/decreasing volume. Red/green/black bars on increasing volume selling/buying/strong buying. Thickness according to various factors of DOM (what we know that we know like Lateral BO)...

    What are some mathematical misconceptions with regard to trading?

    The way I see it @rin4et asks sincere questions and have the stamina to keep going. Honesty and stamina are two very important qualities to have a fighting chance. I can't speak for daydreaming^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Htrading, but for longer term holding (weeks, months, years) it definately helps to get...

    How to develop decisiveness and quick reaction time?

    To add to that, "deer in headlights", why be afraid to pull the trigger? If it's because it could remove you from the game altogether, then that could tell you something vital. Even if the account is small, whenever you're standing to gain substantial, your research should match that, because...

    Warren Buffett Says America Is "So Rich" It Can Afford Single Payer

    What has ETF to do with medical health services? Small socialism, aka small tribes, works much better than capitalism, but is beaten by larger tribes, that compete through genocide. Much stats about health is bunk, though alot of health problems is lifestyle like eating corporate food, alas the...
