How Do You Build Systems Using Python?

silly post for all you silly programming wizards in here. You cannot profit from programming alone. An analogy would be learning to speak a language, once you learn or read book, you do not become an expert technical writer. Usually a technical writer is not a SME. OK i'm throwing around a TLA just like you experts. But i won't do that. sme is a subject matter expert, tla is a three letter acronym. hahaha. I started as a systems programmer, then analyst prog and worked with SME quants, diagram/programming algos and beyond. Learn python then learn C, most api's are written in C/C+. Knowledge of a programming language by itself is only profitable when applied to a winning strategy. If you cannot trade profitably without programming, it's not going to help. It takes about 2+ years to become somewhat fluent in any programming language. Retired CTO, pursuing personal interest in trading algos.

Sorry, confused you with birzos.

What are you talking about. A programming language is just a framework, they don't make money. Show me where there was research on profitability of R vs Python.

Why don't you look it up yourself, you obviously don't have RSI, just a lack of mental capacity to do intelligent research yourself.

The wonders of having an eidetic memory, I remember your idiotic non-answer posts from before.

That's hardly fair. You post a "fact" and then it's someone elses job to do their own research to prove you are correct??? It's like dealing with D J Trump

As it happens I did google "R versus Python trading system contest" and variations thereof and nothing relevant came back.

You all know a programming language is merely a tool. It does absolutely nothing by self. Just like any other tool. RSI is a trading strategy or methodology or framework, call as you may. It must work independent of any programming language to be successful and profitable. All programming can do is automate repetitive parts of an algos.
Regardless of any programming language, a fool with a tool is still a fool ...

I absolutely agree. Birzos was the one talking about how R is more "profitable" (his words) than Python. There's no research on this and birzos refuses to provide any evidence himself. This is on the same level as debating with religious people, asking for proof is handled with misdirection. Apparently birzos' opinion without any basis makes things factual.

Excellent, set the technicals off, always fascinating to watch. It's only not fair if you know less than the person making the statement. Do you know what separates the wealthy from everyone else, they use time more efficiently.

Given that I know the responses are from technical minded people, why would I explain the concepts of fundamental choices when that is not their field of expertise or their chosen route. So we come full circle back to the OP, R is better than Python and Python is better than Java & C from a business perspective. The inverse is true going from a technical view, so each person needs to judge for themselves which uses their technical/fundamental combination most efficiently.

Because the markets are about making as much money, in as little time, with the least effort, and my own personal twist, as honestly as possible. So if you use a programming language which is inefficient for your knowledge combination all that happens is you end up poor not wealthy which links directly to one simple statement "time is money".
