    If you were to learn / teach someone a programming language?

    The OCaml geek says: "F# is the worst piece of shit MS has ever made. Scala is the Java equivalent of it" I say... "I'm stupid so I'm stuck with using C#... (WinOS)"

    If you were to learn / teach someone a programming language?

    And... now there are friends of mine telling me about OCaml... Reason: 1. Fast. 2. Straight-forward implementation for science and math functions. 3. No serious systematic trader uses WinOS. 4. Prototype -> Live Code. 5. People are against functional paradigm because...

    Which historical figure would have made the best trader?

    LOL... You take a person you've never met, making decisions solely based on what you've read and you make those assumptions... Mind as well, try debating about who the best trader is in ET... I say this because there are Chinese academics claiming that "Art of War" is a collaborative work...

    If you were to learn / teach someone a programming language?

    OK... let me ask again... 1. I was suggested (and came to the conclusion) that VBA/Excel are for losers and anyone is better of learning Tradestation or WealthLab (which are also a bunch of useless shit) if they ever have to use that piece of sh*t. 2. If you want to develop high-end...

    If you were to learn / teach someone a programming language?

    In terms of F#, the problem is .NET CLR. They're a few steps behind in terms of Parallel Computing and "from what I've read somewhere"... .NET is simply not built to handle it, requiring MS to overhaul their framework (and it seems like they're overhauling their System.Threading, since after...

    End of day increased volume - what does it mean?

    Google: "Volume Smile" It's one of the core building blocks for a VWAP Algo. In another words... it's a normal tendency for markets and there are underlying reaction to it...

    Breaking the conventional knowledge...

    So... this is going to be my final post in this thread, especially the final post, in terms of how I've been posting studies. Reason is they're not verifiable and after a few interactions with other posters (who I know are legit) seems to be having the same "opinions" about how ideas about...
