Tell me.

The reason for sometimes strange OOP syntax is that is that:

# this code will compile and execute on MQL4, 5 NinjaScript 7 & 8, cAlgo, ACSIL SierraChart

# and also Connect them into one Global Strategy!!!

And that's the Bigger Picture here !!!

I remember when I was learning to code hearing that if I ever ran into someone who insisted OOP is bad that we should instead be doing fancy smancy stuff only to run far and fast.

Well, you should also run just as fast when someone tells you that something commercial quality can be fully implemented in Ninja Trader

It is a balancing act between quality and time to market. Good code increases the ability to fix bugs, add features, extend to new markets - all those things matter in the long run. On the other hand, making it into a fetish is also wrong - after all, it’s just a tool.

The general idea is that most people tend to swing toward their strengths, while in reality they shroud do the opposite. My coding skills suck, so I think I should improve it and I am working on it. Someone who is a strong developer should be learning more about the quant and finance side of things.

Do you think that's true? I'm with Ray Dalio on this: know your weaknesses and work around them. I intend to work around them. This lets you focus on your strengths.

Those that accept their weaknesses and find ways to work around them to play to their strengths do better. Those that do best, embrace their weaknesses and find mechanisms, tools or people with complementary strengths to fill the gaps and turn themselves, their teams and their organization into high performing machines.

None of that says I need to learn to be a quant. It's just a sad way to live ;-) ;-) ;-)

JK, I love stats and integrating over surfaces and shit.

In his book, Ray Dalio is speaking from the perspective of a manager that has the luxury of hiring a diverse team.

Our perspective should be much closer to that of an athlete in a complex sport. We should embrace our strengths and work to decrease our weaknesses. Take an example of tennis - if you can’t serve, it does not matter that you can play well close to the net.

It's true, his book was about organizations. But even at the small level, we are organizing our own lives. I use this idea everywhere.

I got a question for you.
here is the code:

Code:

// # this code will compile and execute on MQL4 & 5, NinjaScript's NinjaTrader 7 & 8, cAlgo, ACSIL SierraChart
#include<LinkersX.h>

struct eco_news
{
xTime time;
double forecast;
double previous;
double actual;
double consensus;
xString title;
xString country;
int impact;
};

xEcoNews econews1;

econews1.loadHistory(20170101, 20173112);
econews1.get(eco_news);
print("actual value:", econews.actual(1)); //Historical events starting from 2017-01-01
print(econews1.time(1), econews1.name(1), econews1.impact(1), econews1.country(1), econews1.forecast(1), econews1.previous(1), econews1.actual(1));

//how would you do econews.actual(1) where 1 means last event, 5 is five events back
// -2 should be 2 events into the future

I don't know how you do events into the future...

Of course if its possible pay 18K/month for Economic data from
Thomson Reuters

ECONOMIC DATA WITH GLOBAL COVERAGE
Economic data
Unrivaled, deep and consistent global economic data coverage, delivered with critical timeliness to power your decision-making.

just to be able to run:

Code:

econews1.updateActual(actualValueSupliedByThomsonReutersFor18K);

//which will create e.actual_updated event;

//so the actual strategy would look like: 1 is the last event,  actual gets suplied by Linkers::X by specifying Thomson Reuters Feed

if(e.unemployment_claims(1) && e.actual_updated(1) && e.is_news_good(1))
{
long1.buy();
}
