You could fairly trivially code a strategy and backtest it that does this, e.g. on QuantConnect. The only tricky part is getting S&P500 membership data which is paywalled beyond the most recent years.

Do you know any western brokers that support DCE futures?

Haha I honestly can't tell to what extent he himself believes the shit he's peddling. Loved the cherry picks as evidence for 100% win rate. Maybe he's just as stupid as his clients.

lol, I kind of agree The Underpant Gnomes bear a striking resemblance to the vast majority of people trying to dive into algotrading (myself included). Maybe with the modification "Design, implement, and run trading strategy" as Step 1.

Gold was a good buy for a bounce at 1750-1800, entering here means you will take on more risk, but it's doable I suppose. I'm bearish though, lol. Everyone I talk to seem to be bullish, but guess retail that care about gold overall are heavily long biased.

I have no intent on following up on the OP's claims given his post history and support of Grab-em-by-the-Pussy-and-Stormy-Daniels Trump, but I find the double standards about most things involving sex in the US hilarious. In my country (Sweden) similar puritanism is mainly driven by radical or...

IMO a main summarizing paragraph of that paper is: That the geometric mean exp〈ln x〉 is less than the arithmetic mean 〈x〉 was known to Euclid (Elements, Book V, Proposition 25), and it is a special case of Jensen’s inequality13 of 1906. Its connection to gambling and investment problems was...

Statistically it's true in aggregate, but if you define some conditions to filter out people that never had a chance in the first place it probably looks better. Yet it remains that the main problem with DAYtrading is the many market regimes where jack shit happens that can be traded IMO...

Given risk of stuff like that (if not a given) for an expensive service, 1 min delay was fine for me. Just used it to trend follow major moves that take 5+ minutes to hours to unfold. The extra minute just gave extra time observing the market action before I heard the reason. :-)

That's similar to how I tended to use them - another source to check that I didn't miss something major on what's going on. I don't think that's too far fetched, and it's good you're on your guard. Most people aren't aware of the extent the western social media sphere is a playground for...

Ok, let me know about your _proven_ economics theories. As far as I'm concerned, mainstream policy response failed to reach target inflation for over a decade now.

Mostly agree. If proper (more than a couple of %/year) inflation hits they will stop printing though. However, as long as money doesn't get into circulation they can add as much paper wealth to the world's richest as they want.

Don't think anyone regularly reading ZH as a main news source is going to excel at investing, it's far too unbalanced and peddles negative emotions. Yeah, we all know The Crash Is Coming (TM) but until then we got to respect the market.

Here's the thing: Anyone with the ability to trade "in that way" is going to grow their account to where they want it to be, making any other capital redundant. It is never "risk free" so it can never substitute sources of regular income. While there might be someone willing to temporarily...

Candlesticks and indicators for C++: https://ta-lib.org Indicators only (but better designed library): https://tulipindicators.org/ Regular caveat is that little of this stuff has any use in reality. Look, depending on what you're trying to do you might be FAR better off using something like...

TAS is clearly the (structural) issue here.

I disagree: In games you can be very creative and nobody will constantly say "that objectively sucks, start over". The I/O space in games is generally greater (graphics, sound, keyboard, mouse, controller, etc.) In trading algos you quite often just read a few 1D time series and emit another...

Sure the reaction is stochastic, as is the win/loss binary outcome. On expectation you can formulate a strategy with positive expectancy though. Most notably with a trend following strategy that adds to winners (if you want to keep max loss manageable by sacrificing max and expected winnings). I...

Personally, delayed reactions to Fed interest rate decisions for instance [back when the market cared about those, post COVID this feature is kind of dead for the time being]. You could enter early and get a tail for hours after the announcement with huge reward per risk. Then there are...

I think we're talking about apples and oranges. 1:500 on a non-neglectable part of your net worth is insane. A newbie is likely to want to apply a non-neglectable part of his/her net worth because of high earning potential (rather than the loss potential s/he should be concerned with). As an...
