Looks like I should have sold my DAL a few days ago, when it was up a decent %. Oh well, guess this one moves from the "Trade" to the "Investment"...
I hate this answer, but it's also the correct one: it depends. Personally, I've never found much daylight trading 1-min charts though.
Agreed. This stuff costs money to develop and maintain on the backend. If you don't pay in commission, you pay somewhere else. And commission is...
IB can work with python; you'll need to spend some time learning their API. Trades aren't free though.
I’m certain that it can be done; can take a look later. If not, quickly move your data to R, where I know it can be done.
Backtesting is important, but people often go overboard. Whether or not your algorithm worked in 1930 (or 1980!) will have little bearing on how...
Well yes, I do think he's an expert on this. As to consensus: there is scientific consensus, which != "agreement in opinion" or "models...
Basically, don't think of futures contracts as similar to options contracts. Think of them as extra-high leveraged ETFs. Then, each 25c move in...
Why would you post proof? We're all just internet strangers. With 500k gains, I'd get in touch with a tax attorney in your state. It'll cost you...
Of course. Probably quite often. But I prefer too much over too little, if I have to choose an extreme. One may limit gains, the other is going to...
If you want a completely unregulated market, go ahead. But when your broker decides to close shop and take everyone's money, or when they send you...
Very cool! It's always great to actually see something you coded work. Now go and automate the PM High stuff ... coding is an addictive little...
Ooooook *slowly backs out of this tread*
Wait, how does Biden have the power to shut down air travel? We don't have reliable antibody tests yet that could be mass-deployed. There's also...
And it's not just hard profits. Take some paper plates, thread a wick through a small hole in the middle, and you've got some floating candles to...
Yes, doing it manually is simple, you just use input: PM_high() at the beginning of your script, and then there should be a field you can...
Anyone could handle this better. Biden, Warren, Sanders, Clinton, Romney, a feral goat, Obama's kids, even that idiot vice president of his....
This is much less binary than you imagine it to be. A well-regulated capitalist economy is still free-market capitalism, even if and when...
Yeah, that's interesting. Would like to see more detail about what they mean by "better fill." I've been happy with IB's fills, but I've been...
Brokers absolutely can and should restrict what you can trade from an exchange. A retail broker may want to offer CME's index futures, but not...
Separate names with a comma.
