Depends on the language. With regex you could use parameters to catch the string, if your library supports it. You could also catch the substring index/length and use some Mid function to get the string. A very simple solution if you don't want to program it would be to use sed to preprocess...

Proper mindset is gambling with full margin, preferably 100x. Either you become billionaire in a week, or you rip the economy a new one. Win-win either way due to bailouts and enslavement. Just make sure you're on the right side no matter what!

Excellent engineers and scientists have a fighting chance though. Trading is very counter intuitive: You can do everything wrong naively, and still win. There's also a big differences trading entirely by discretion and mechanical trading. What it takes to get there though, very few get even a...

With what intention did someone start studying trading and what attitudes are driving their actual trades? If you've got a fully mechanical system, the wisdom may be irrelevant to you now, but even then, intention and attitudes drove you to where you are today at some point in time. These matter...

I started with Rocket Science for Traders, cycle analysis and trying out all the usual stuff in Excel, like trendlines, triangles, RSI, converting numbers into signals, you name it. This was the magical thinking stage of trading, where math should turn into some kind of magical profitable...

Very basic: Cash is King vs Risk Capital. In my limited experience, you'll ALWAYS regret deploying too high percent of capital. If you can stomach the inevitable DD, may/may not be worth it (luck). If you sell during DD, chances are you lose out on that deal. Not because of "sharks", not...

The annotations are very clear to me. THX! :D Having explanations on graph is also very clear and pedagogical! Ie. "shadow" == FTT Calling markets, one trade and/or undefined risk, basically have no meaning. It's all in the method and the time/focus one has to dedicate to it. CC: @WchPl ...

Going this route (though overkill for my personal project), it is good to consider both access patterns and possibly separate the API/technology for each: both for write and read operations as separate concerns Experience and history points to that these access patterns are very distinct, so...

"The wheel" is uninteresting, really. Commercial / enterprise software stuff looks good, until you're outside its intended scope. You can program a "wheel" in a couple of days for simple usage, and often that can be much better for R&D efforts or efforts to tackle new scopes of problems rather...

It's OK. Me and Userque just have two different approaches to answer this. His answer is that this is a possibility (which it is according to docs). My answer is that this will be impractical and not fit for purpose. If it doesn't cost too much, it's good to try something new though (and learn...

Its good to balance a discussion. However this use case was not designed in from the start, and not too useful. The feature can help to resolve badly formed spreadsheets but in too unpractical and surprising ways to rely on. So id not recommend using it other than just always having it turned on...

It states "you may want", but who here have actually used iterations like that and how was the experience? In my experience, circular references in Excel have always been a PITA, and was never designed for such usage, so will yield both problems and limitations due to that.

Circular reference is traditionally an error in Excel. I would rather use VBA or something else, than trying to use circular references outside of intended usage. This is an area where you want to move away from formulas (functions) and into more general purpose languages, because what you're...

The very question defeats its own premise. If you're not already consistently profitable, you have no business trading for a living. Most people don't do this. Stop buying dreams. Startups can take 2-5 years before profitable, most go bust before that. Trading can take 5-20 years or never, and...

Insightful but one dimensional. Meanwhile in the real world, individual people are different and have spent thousands of years working together for common goals. Companies, as they're supposed to be, should be about sharing that work and its results. For some #1 would be too tedious in the...

For just looping, you can create new rows with cell formulas refering to the rows above and do conditionals, calculations and whatnot. You can use many excel functions over areas of cells and arrays, to aggregate, lookup values, translate etc. However, soon, especially for something like Monte...

If you can avoid refactoring, it's better, until you gain substantial value, for the job and possible new flaws (risk). Dilligent refactoring of needed/valuable functionality and bugfixes, can on the other hand increase your code quality and usefulness, since it's been through many iterations of...

More like $2300 for prebuilt. I think it's an older version of Storm Trooper, aka. something like this but non-transparent: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119297 Though bought through local (non US) webshop several years ago. Has been robust enough and no plans to...

I ordered a prebuilt gaming machine that I use for everything, since I don't need it to be dedicated yet, as just crunching EOD data. It came with faulty 3D card which they happily fixed/replaced and have worked wonderfully since. 64 GB RAM and 8 cores, enough for most chores + gaming and...
