MATLAB is super easy for the simpler machine learning algos as it is point and click but it is expensive and R is free. You can literally run the 5 or 6 algos in a matter of minutes in Matlab. The free version of Matlab called Octave does not have the point and click features. R and MATLAB both...

All, I've been reading up and I want to post a correction to this post. It appears that Viola-jones has long been outdated and now convolutional neural networks are used for image detection. This does not require feature engineering. Also, most board games (other than Go) are essentially search...

Is there a way to get sponsered by a third party?

Absolutely not. You are way off the mark with comparing AlphaGo to trading and completely wrong that you can use raw data. Board games or video game play is an unsupervised machine learning problem, trading is a supervised machine learning problem. A win in a board game is the result of a series...

Anyone have any luck using adaboost?

Obviously, but the question is what algorithms do they use for pattern recognition and how is the data formatted so the computer can understand it? There are many machine learning algorithms. For instance, in spam detection, they convert the email into a bag of words, which is a list of words...

Thanks for the post. Good informative video! I'll give some of them a shot.

Patriciap1 is on there, and she was just funded yesterday so I bet those traders already got booted LOL. Here they are, we can check back in 6 months and see if Maverick is correct... 1 albertli 2 alexvish 3 allonblack1 4 benihana1 5 bjorn 6 bofason 7 brookesjd9 8 burke 9 cgrosvenor...

No doubt. The only problem is that your Kelly criterion is prob higher on the open and position sizing math dictates bigger size when you have a higher probability setup. So if you are "trading the money" and increasing bet size as you make money, you may be shooting yourself in the foot...

Ok but if you go live again, you're not going to start with the full 100k or yes?

What if you go live and start losing money... Do you then owe that money?

Ok, I believe that, especially looking at how inexperienced some of these folks are. That would explain why they are willing to fund so many people since most will get booted after inevitably hitting their stop-loss. I'm too sleepy now, but maybe we should write a list here of all the traders...

Looks good for most but no commodities, that is a huge plus for me with TST...

They have 48 funded traders. http://www.topsteptrader.com/Profiles This was trader that was funded today. She can now toss around 5 contracts. http://www.topsteptrader.com/ViewProfile/patriciap/patricia/0 "trading is hard". Yeah you can say that again... Although I don't know that...

Ok, so you would have no clue that non-farms was coming out, no clue that the RBA just cut interest rates, or that the Fed just announced QE3? I understand your point and not react to the Monica Lewinsky headline, but for reals man, you've got to have some clue...

Sounds like a good deal, although according I just got a trial subscription and they've backed two new people in three days or so. I don't get how they can just keep backing everyone that can trade. Why wouldn't they become more selective and boot people that are less good? You would think...

Yo Traders! Quickie here. I've been trading mostly part time and I'm considering trading full time. One area that I need to get better is my news feed and having better situational awareness. I use twitter and that helps a lot, but does anyone have a good feed that will show pop-ups and...

You only get a $5k account with Index Elite, and you can only trade ES and NQ. And I'm not where you got the $350 from, here's what I got: 20 day 10 day 30k 250 190 50k 270 225 100k 475 300 150k 500 325

I like the 100k combine. 2k loss limit. Position size 10 (I would never do that, maybe 4 contracts on es, 2 on cl). 10k profit target very doable IMO. In fact Ive simulated that in a week w/ two contracts cl. Of course I've also lost that much... Is there any after-hours change in...

Thanks maverick, I think I'll give it a go. I like to trade cl es eurusd and audusd so I guess 6e and 6a can substitute although I need to figure out what the value of the underlying is to transition from cash to futures. The $500 stop loss will be tough though, especially if I trade cl...
