I finally decide to take a dive into learning programming. Even though I had programming classes back in school, it wasn't anything where I can go on my own and code from scratch.
I narrowed down to two languages that I will learn:
Python and C#.
I chose these languages because of Python being very popular amongst beginners and C# being used in QT.
I need to go back to the basics with an initial free course just to get the old brain to warm up a bit to the coding logic:
https://www.coursera.org/learn/learn-to-program
Then after that, will take 1-2 courses in Python then move to C#. C# would be where I will focus on since I want to be able to have full ownership and understanding of my own algo.
Will share progress along the way.

No intervention. Technically i can let it ride forever, but I still do the weekly vps restart and check for updates. Also check QT for updates.

Excellent. How did the system perform last week, given the volatility we saw ?
I can't tell since you stopped the daily updates, well apart from observing that the equity curve went up.

Yea I posted about this so I dont have to go into vps every time.
If you want to know how I do day to day, jsut look at the three numbers off my broker statement and do basic math. This is based on my account. The chart I posted is just comparison using 10k (based on net results of real acccount) vs benchmarks.
Essentially it's the same cumulative % gain for both (real and model account).
Yesterday
gross: 0.289%
Net:0.268%
Changed the chart to reflect % gain since I started the final algo version. This way, it's less confusing.

IMHO, that is exactly why it should be avoided
Focus on the real programming languages, and ignore the hype
C# is fine and, for your development and profitability goals, you do not really need to focus somewhere else, at the moment
Keep it up!
