Perfect, thanks! Saved me a bunch of time.

NxCore on sim. Haven't decided if I will connect this algo to my IB account or try to sign up with e.g. LightSpeed or Alpaca yet, so hesitant to look into IB API for this.

(In software, obviously.) I just need a boolean response to IsETF(ticker). I did google this but got so many irrelevant responses, like "What is an ETF?" hurr durr. Obviously I can try to scrape websites for this info but that is brittle. What's a decent data provider option for this that does...

You can't trust stops. And at some point you're going to see a major stop blown. Effects depending on parameters can range from something you just shrug off (because you're confident in your strategy), to depression, to career ending. Only remedies: Position size so you can lose 100% long side...

Different types of software have entirely different requirements (duh). Ultimately most people have their own preferences as to what kind of requirements they like to work with. It places restrictions on what they can build though. If you're writing a compiler or something requiring a high...

.NET Core vs .NET Framework. Just reading the first paragraphs on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/dotnet-five should be enough to get up-to-date since your standardization statement conflicts with reality. Anyway, I doubt OP wanted to start a language debate thread, so... WinForms...

If you have to ask "what others think" about a position, are you sure it's the trade for you? Additionally, profitable trades tend to be unpopular. I should point on "holding on" to shorts has the issue that upside in stock (= your downside) is infinite whereas downside (your upside) is limited...

If that's the case I don't understand his attitude. He tried it with some learning money and figured out it wasn't for him. Nothing to be sad about, unlike the people who perpetually get stuck doing something that isn't working for them, or decide to apply a majority of their networth as you note.

For a problem like this I would start with an existing concurrent map implementation as a baseline, and then when I have as a realistic test as possible optimize it further. Just IMO not worth worrying about beyond algorithmic complexity until you're in the position to test it. Apologies if you...

Since your words speak for themselves (they really do), I will just add: Not every broker offers guaranteed stops, and they come with additional costs due to the tail risk that needs to be eaten by the broker. Regular stops will be gapped past at times with potentially catastrophic results...

The problem with leverage is not the money you make, it's the money you lose that very well can put you back below where you started. There is an optimal leverage for a given trade sequence (see Kelly criterion) and going beyond that is just going to reduce profits, ultimately below zero. Unless...

Options? If you're in liquid names that is. For illiquid names an alternative is just accept the gap risk and position size accordingly.

Proof that many Americans are too poor to cover basic living expenses like in other third world countries.

If your time frame is years (or maybe months) then fundamentals do matter. But FA is generally of no concern to intraday trading aside from: A) price fluctuations that newly published fundamental information causes (gotta be quick then as you're competing against HFT). B) helping you set up a...

Fantastic! I hope it clears the legal hurdles.

lol lol

The MetaTrader third party ecosystem is sketchy/scammy (e.g. endless useless indicators and expert advisors for sale) but whether a broker or CFD provider is serious has little to do with their support for MetaTrader. I do say little and not nothing though (there is probably a positive...

Indeed, and it happens to be located isolated on its own island in the northern Atlantic already. Not saying it's not impressive what they accomplished, but it's not automatically doable everywhere else. But TBH this (as is my post) is a non-argument.

Focusing on what he posted rather than thread title: Fed will not be buying TSLA shares specifically, no.

0.15 Sharpe?
