Books or Link to learn programming?

Mr.Agronomist

Hello Elite's!

First of all, I want to thank all the people who took the time comment in this thread.

Second I admire all the thread i've read so far is super informative.

I am a rookie according to your standards and althought i am full of question because i dont know a thing about programing i want to learn it to be able to either twick an open source or create my own. I trade part time with my manual strategy at the moment futures are currently my area of experience in trading. My porfolio is 200k. I use IB-TWS i dont want to change brokers i've done that many times and IB is perfect for my level.

I am more in line with learning Java, Eclipse, Python, and MySQL if this make sence.

The learning will be part time about 15hrs a week so the KISS Book is prefered or websites are welcome. Ive google stuff but it leave me with to many wholes.

Also I am open to suggestions on third party programer, but you must have experience dealing with them, I dont trust to many of this so call programers.

Thanks in advance!
 
Hi - not a programmer myself, but I have studied code of various kinds just to get a handle on structure and function.

If you're dipping your trader toe in metatrader ea programming, you might try taking a peek at the 'MQL4 Guide to Building An Expert Advisor' (forexrazor school).

From what I can tell from the mountain top of my ignorance, the code isn't that bad - and you certainly won't have much of a problem if you're a Python head.
 
The best way to learn programming is to jump in and start writing programs rather than reading a book. You almost don't need a book since there are a million web sites with answers to any questions that might come up while you're learning.

If you've really never programmed before it might be best to take a programming class at a community college. The classes are inexpensive and you'll be led through progressively difficult problems in a structured environment.

I agree. My relative is taking a beginner programming class and other than being able to pass a test can't do anything.
 
Haskell or SQL are the only coding you need to do the system of operation of markets.

It is a finite relative system.

So use RDBMS approach.

Effectively the independent variable only has 7 pieces and the dependent variaable only has 10 pieces.

All money is made by taking the change in price.

Segments of change in price have three parts: two ends and a middle.

There are a finite number of ends.

To examine the segments of price change you MUST know how one segment becomes another segment. This moment is called a turn. There are only three kinds of turns.

Finally, you can prove to yourself that there are only four possible types of segments of price change.


Therefore, logically speaking, defining taking the full offer of the observable market comes down to making a list of all of these reversal places in a defined "context" of the system of operation of the market.


I use four lists (the gross contexts) in which the turn on a given type of segment appears as a pair.

It might take two weeks to code the ATS for this.

the tasks include:

1. Highlighting the price pane with some of the dependent variable cases.

2. Putting rays on the independent variable bars.

3. flagging the segment of price ends on the independent variable

4. ID ing the type of turn(3) on the dependent variable.

5. ID ing the type (4) of segment of change at the turn

6. flagging kind of profit taking (2) on the dependent variable.

The result of having the facts of the system of operation of the market gives a typical rsult on a given day. Attached is one such day. For intraday traders, just imagine the red and black boxes appearing at "lock in" of certainty BEFORE the end of the reversal bar.

Om black the reversal is short to long. on red the reversal is long to short. If none of these then there is a hold through on the annotation of the "false" ending.

The net per ontract on this illustration is 15.50 points on the instrument.

In my case I shopped for books. I purchased about six. Then I just made up the math in oconventional terms. As shown above the math is simple. formatting the math on a code (SQL) is done as fast as typing and drag and drop can be done.

soem times the events are known by as much as two ahead. they, then just slip into place as the event flows form the future into the Present when the Present arrives.

If you do any coding remotely related to statisticulating you have your head firmly up your ass. finite math is how markets work as is being specifically and completely shown to you in my post.

Brief followup.

In ET there are many who whine about the "messiness of the chart annotation.

You can skip charting and annotating; in coding using languages, there is no need for charts to show anything.

Another short cut is look up tables. About 6 or 7 suffice.

For doing trading it is just fun to work in a group and have an MAT trading operation.

As you look at the prior representation of an ATS using RDBMS, it probably looks a little suspicious because of your mind's mental limitations.

I have heard people ask as the information is arriving:"How to you know this is going to work this time?"

most people ARE mentally limited and as a simple consequence they never get to consider how behavior happens.

Market behavior is precisely locked in forever.

People who prefer to statisitculate got left at the station at some point in their lives. By seeing a competent EMDR specialist they can find out where they became mentally crippled.

The OP has been crippled already but does not know it. His Q shows that he is crippled. Look up crippled; I use the word to save time here.

I felt it would be good to have an irrefutable example on the record in ET.

Wall Street does 20% a year and stays in business. Use my example and apply 94% of capital (which I do) and see how far into one day (see the example) it takes to make 20%.

If anyone replies to me, do it in an adult manner.
