I was kinda thinking this... Perhaps the best testimony to skill as a data scientist is a history of profitability in the markets, based on data collection and analysis.

I'm looking into training and certification as a data scientist. Which of these jump out at you as being the most respected? Thanks, Keith https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/data-science-certifications

I think that he was just overwhelmed... busy with his family and work obligations. He didn't think that it could blow up on him like that.

These algos/ execution systems must be closely monitored, especially when entering and exiting positions is automated. Any bug, logic error, or market anomaly can blow out your account. A friend went on vacation for a few days, and left one of these systems up and running. He came home to find...

A. It's what the pros use, for good reason ... a. It's relatively simple for a beginner to learn ... b. It's powerful: supporting OOP and concurrency ... c. It's closely integrated with R; easy access to data science tools B. Of the five languages that IB offers: ... 1. C++: Too much for a...

- PyCharm is excellent: specifically built for Python. - I find that the more I learn about PyCharm, the more I understand Python itself. - It also runs on Windows, Mac, and even Linux... so you don't have to use vim anymore XD - The IntelliJ suite is pretty good in general; I've also used...

Someone asked me how to get started with programming, algo trading, and the IB API. I wrote this up and thought I'd share there for posterity. There are three main pieces to learn: the Pycharm IDE, Python 3, and the Interactive Brokers API. <3 Keith 1. Pycharm: - Download...

Why do Forex markets open at 5pm ET on Sunday (GMT 9pm) and close at 4pm ET (GMT 8pm)? Is there a reason for this time? Is there some major Forex exchange that specifies when Forex markets open and close? Why these times? Also, does imply that a Forex "day" starts at 5pm ET, like the market...

Brethren: Can anyone recommend a decent open-source bulletin board application? I've looked at - PHPbb: My 1st choice right now - MyBB: Lacking in mobile-friendliness Of course I'd prefer free but would be willing to pay a reasonable amount for a crackerjack forum. Any recommendations are...

Interesting idea! Thank you <3

Thank you.

Bill O'Reilly?

In your opinion, who is the most neutral, unbiased reporter (English language) today? A skilled reporter able to present both sides of an issue with minimal bias. thx, Keith XD

How do I set up MD subscriptions from two different machines? Example: Two computers: A and B Machine A. Run TWS with MD subs Machine B. Run IB gateway, API use, with MD subs As I understand it, only one connection is permitted at a time. Do I need separate accounts? Thanks for your help...

Did u find anyone?

Has anyone tried simultaneously subscribing to MD feeds in a concurrent programming style? From different threads, processes, or applications? Any trouble? For example, let's say I have this architecture: Python program 1 (main thread) - X - MD subscription (main thread: core 1: GIL 1) - AAPL...

Thanks I'm using virtualenv venv within PyCharm. It's integrated (as well as conda and pipenv). I prefer virtualenv simply because I used it a lot in my last job, and know my way around. Also, although it's available as a package, I don't really want to install ibapi as a package. I want to...

Yeah so a best-practice for stuff like is to center the system on rule sets. They can be maintained in excel, and saved as a .csv. All these ANDs and ORs are clumsy, difficult to debug/maintain, and to be avoided. Create n rule sets and apply the ones you want; E.g.: Set 1: Action: BUY 100...

Aargh I got it. I was double-referencing "ibapi." I needed to set the source root as simply: C:/TWS API/source/pythonclient

Attemping to set a source root within Pycharm. It's not seeing the modules in the specified source folder. As you can see from the attached, the ibapi directory is set as a sources root. The files are present, yet the import statements are throwing an Unresolved reference error. I am able to...
