Of course, sometimes it pays off to hire offshore coders, and other times it does not (depending on the type of payoff as well). There are many factors involved in making the correct decision, which is what management is all about. Any predetermined answer or Excel-sums will of course not...

Weak AI can be useful, but also dangerous when misapplied or overly trusted: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/17/04/15/0132203/tiny-changes-can-cause-an-ai-to-fail Strong AI can hopefully replace all of humanity, but need much more research first. This is OK since science dictates we don't have...

Nice case, but what's the difference when things go wrong? Also, can you say a loan is an investment?

This is exactly why management by Excel is so dangerous. Without thorough understanding what your business is, it's easy to assume offshore people can replace in-house domain experts. If that were truly so, if your business needs are truly so simple and shallow, then you're probably better off...

I don't know about you, but I completely trust all my executives.. They're all doubleplusgood!

Maybe some people are naturals, but it seems like a bad bet initially. The hardest part is to face an industry, terminology and mindset you honestly know nothing about. This dire need for honesty though, will be totally overruled by the drive to make it, or better, a drive for understanding and...

Which is more likely? 1. Someone providing a signal service needs to excel at trading, communicating viable trades to a wide range of people, reaching potential customers, selling their services and thriving/surviving as a business. 2. Someone trading their own account needs to be good at...

Probably a good idea. I'm currently at the stage of crawling before I can stand up, or maybe standing up but can't walk properly yet. So for now focusing on one whole system at the time, and may run older systems just for kicks, or turn them off since they don't perform too well. But time will...

If curve fitting / parameter optimization is the last thing you do to your trading engine / plan, I believe it can be OK (but need to see results/confirmation first). Especially when aware of the problem, using it to learn more and it doesn't make too wild pnl gyrations. However, if someone only...

This is a bit inaccurate wording actually. Using the Fractal Dimension Index (FDI), which is basically the same numbers just in a different range, you can measure how "trendy" the data is vs how "noisy" the data is. Ie. a sinus curve is 100% predictable, but could be measured as "noisy", since...

Crap + Crap = More Crap This, unless they truly combine!

For prices, all of it is BS except this: “We can work for a long time on a problem and suddenly an angel—[which] stands here poetically for the mysteries of our neurons—brings a good idea.” Now multiply this by 10.000 and then subtract 9.990.

What is it that the code should produce, ie. what should be the end-result? Is it to show indicators on the screen, show market order recommendations, automated trading, what? Without specific requirements, nobody will know what you mean even if it's "simple" (automated trading is never...

Without a Renaissance period, none of that would be here today, or if it were, it would be more hell-like.

Many people won't sit on their ass. You may just as well see renaissance in spirituality, art, exploration, invention, discovery, skilled crafts, humanity and environmental care.

Long-term you can trade poorly, but anyways become lucky. Long-term it's easier to hold onto longer trades that can pay for your losers. Not so in short-term. If not adequately protected, any short-term account will either blow up or die by thousand cuts.

If your head is spinning, maybe it's because you're confused. Being confused can be a sign that you're on the right track, you're starting giving up what doesn't work. After confusion, there's a chance to gain clarity, but confusion may be necessary to shed broken/obsolete knowledge. You also...

Do yourself a favour and study risk of ruin in trading. Typically the general newbie advice of 1-3% of risk until stopped out prevents most blowups, but not death of thousand cuts. Only meaningful on large accounts in relation to total equity. It's boring but the largest traders try to risk much...

A sculptor may chisel a rock and create a statue, a pillar, building-blocks, or rubble. The results vary according to the processes used, and may themselves be further used in varying ways according to the intention of the creator. However, the results are directly related to the processes, and...
