Close India 50 +289. It's quite clear I bet on the wrong horse for today, and I don't intend to hold over weekend. Will start the algo dumb beta harvesting after the New year anyway.

Waste of time. You're far better off with a single moving average along with some extra logic to deal with frequent crossings when price is wobbling around the MA. For most purposes that's also a waste of time though. (Since I wasted some time in my days: ) I've run scanning algorithms to...

There is a fair amount of correlation between search activity and language popularity. I am aware TIOBE has deficits making it inadequate for precise language rankings, but it's arguably sufficient for showing the several orders of magnitude popularity difference between C# and F#. Your other...

There are more aspects than that though. For instance ease of hiring someone else to do grunt work, simple asking people for advice.. etc. 50x popularity difference is not small.

I would agree except for progamming language popularity having implications. https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

Are you a reader or listener? (I.e. preferred learning medium?) One thing that's quite practical these days is there's a lot of sites enabling you to simple type code into a web page without even installing Visual Studio. E.g. https://dotnetfiddle.net/

Buy India 50 x 4 @ 12143 stop 11955 Buy India 50 x 8 @ 12145 stop 12068 Some dip buying.

A) Too large career risk B) Goes against my law abiding nature

I once calculated that I could earn 250k a year (at that time, but not in the earliest years obviously where difficulty was a lot lower) from mining Bitcoin on our customer's computers (video gamers) by embedding a miner into the game code, and simultaneously circumventing the nonsense complaint...

Look up the term 'carry trades'. When holding for long durations, the impact of rates can be highly significant vis-a-vis directional movement. For a particular popular CFD provider/bucketshop, you can see impacts of borrow/lend rates here http://fxtrade.oanda.com/embed/show/interest_calc/1...

Restarted long XAG short XCU pair trade algo from previous this year on 16k with modifications: A) Max drawdown calculated from starting account size and staying fixed in USD. B) Slowly scales up to full postion sizes over multiple weeks only if trend being favorable. C) Shared XAU/XAG long...

Pretty much, unless backtested. The downsides include wide spreads and the fact the primary signal is in the underlying, so there is limited value in watching the ETF price. A well researched strategy is able to get around this though.

I wasn't referring to your specific trades, rather more generally your reasoning and quest for something that will work for you personally. Some people end up spending years doing things that will never work for them; you seem to quickly circumvent that which is great.

@OP: I like your critical no BS approach. I think you're on a good track. At some point you have to bite the bullet and believe you can do it, though. But that point can be after successful sim trading for years. Staying on sim has the disadvantage that it doesn't teach you the psychology of...

Ok cool, DE30EUR stop was hit by 2 points this morning so I'm down 600 on that. Would be up 1500-2000 or something if not stopped.

Going to bed. I'm back in the following cycle on the last couple of days: Win -> Increase leverage - > Lose -> Decrease leverage -> Win...

Closed JP225. -900 The lack of any trend makes it a moot point applying this much leverage.

We'll see. Exiting if going below -1000 as I don't intend to lose more tonight nominally speaking. Edit: Moved DE30EUR to same stop (the upper one) to reduce max risk in case of e.g. failure to access broker app.

Buy JP225USD x 8 @ 23815 stop 23763 Nonsense down move on trade war related news. Monitoring.

Buy DE30EUR x 14 @ 13243 stop 13203 The rest of position. Actually gapped rather well so would have been better holding overnight, but I didn't feel like having the risk as previous noted. UK data looking better than expected, maybe related.
