How about immersive data visualization in VR? https://www.compassred.com/data-journal/data-visualization-in-arvr

1. I am a programmer. What does that have to do with knowing the data visualization market? 2. As a programmer I can build something like this, but it's a lot of work, so I'm hoping to use 3rd party stuff. 3. This forum's advice is at least 10 cent; perhaps even 25. 4. I'm hoping for something...

Brethren: Any recommendations on how to visualize and manipulate large (100,000 + points per set) data sets? I feel like this is beyond Excel. Is there any software out there with the horsepower to handle this volume of data? Thanks, and have a profitable day. -- Keith XD

In all fairness their platform was pretty rotten for a while--and still is in some ways. Horrifying customer support (simply not there if you needed help), password system flaky/buggy, doubts about whether they actually hold the crypto assets. Requirement to submit photo ID before able to...

Real gamers should be building their own rigs anyway.

Good point... I didn't know that... or maybe it changed. Long ago when I signed up I recall required minimums.

We are discussing how to get a (free) IB paper trading account for development. IB requires a live account before u can get a paper, but there are different types of IB accounts. I thought u needed a brokerage account, which requires 10k in funding. He's saying get an individual account, which...

How safe is Manhattan now? Some of the grumblings, whispers, and what I've heard/seen: - Homeless population increasing. NYC always had homeless, but there's crowds of them now in Manhattan. - Police: Fewer in number, perhaps as a result of the "Defund the Police" efforts. I hardly saw any. -...

Ya I think the Schwab rates are also a bit off. Still much higher than IB though. Schwab is not shy about their loan rates. Debit Balance Margin Rate Effective Rate $0-$24,999.99 Base Rate + 1.825% 8.325% $25,000-$49,999.99 Base Rate + 1.325% 7.825% $50,000-$99,999.99 Base Rate + 0.375% 6.875%...

This is why I tend to focus on IB contracts. It's just too much to have many brokerage accounts scattered around for dev and test.

Brokerage account minimum 10k in first 8mos. https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=4969

??? It says here that a a regular account is required for a paper account: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/omnibrokers/topics/papertrader.htm

Yeah... yeah... I've turned down some contracts bc I didn't want to open an account with the client's broker. Maybe I need to change my thinking.

So you assert that a Developer must have an account with the broker that publishes the API they're using for a project?

Here is a margin rate comparison. Schwab is up there around 7-8%. That's another heavy tax on a day trader. https://www.brokerage-review.com/article/brokerage-firm-margin-rates.aspx

I'm not thrilled with them. - I like how they have free trades; that's nice. - I like their help system. Their chat gives you quick access to a service rep if you need it. - I don't like their margin rates; they are quite high (6-7%) vs IB at about 2% - Same for Shorting fees. - I find their UX...

With IB you need a regular account before you can open a paper account: I've faced this problem myself: someone wants code using a specific broker (IB, Tradestation, etc). As a programmer, am I expected to have many different accounts with different brokers? For this reason I've had to turn...

Is it reasonable to expect him to open an IB account? Not sure it's necessary to code an algo.

VS Code is pretty good... I use that quite a bit. Much better than the terminal, you must agree! I'd say install PyCharm and try it. The guy who made the IB educational videos used it. I actually got him on the phone last year and chatted with him for about an hour. He recommended it PyCharm vs...

IDE means "Integrated Developer Environment." It's where you do pretty much everything with coding: write, test, debug, etc. I strongly recommend that you install PyCharm and write all your code there. Community edition is free. It's infinitely better than the command window for dev, and what...
