Oh well there appears to be some interest in the idea which I only thought of yesterday off the cuff. I haven't yet thought it through that much, hopefully the feedback I'm getting on ET will assist to cement the idea a bit more. This is how I'm now beginning to formulate the idea.... I would just teach how you would go about using Google Chrome / Sheets to nicely, simply set up to auto download and present formulas so you have 'streaming' data. For USA this is 10 minute delayed, other exchanges have different lags, but I can advise that as well. No tick data, just OHLC, you also get a raft of other info like volume and average volume etc, there is some fundamental data available. There are no data fees. The best way imo is you use Google cloud, it's free for a certain small GB of data, I subscribe to 100GB data and it's about $2.50 per month going from memory. I wouldn't teach Amibroker, I've left that behind now, no longer have my AB computers or software or data. I've found Google Sheets is far superior and easier to code and debug, also I get more wide ranging data than from my old paid data provider which was several hundred dollars annually and over 10, 20, 30 years those cost become huge. Also in the old days with AB I had to wait something like 60 minutes after mkt closed, then manually download the data, none of that bs with sheets, it's streaming automatically day and night on multiple exchanges, FREE! Yup, Sheets is streets ahead, the only thing is no backtester like AB. You can create your own charts with Sheets, but I don't bother, better imo to use Tradingview, Yahoo or Barcharts or use your own package. Sheets for me is a huge database which allows to scan for whatever criteria you need, eg what stocks this day, week, month are jumping out the gate, but I run multiple algos which do multiple different jobs, I have scores of different fields of data and each sheet can scan hundreds of stocks simultaneously. I envisage I'd share info over the cloud, you'd receive a web link which you alone can access and in there would be detailed info, all written with clear examples. You can also ask questions and receive a reply on the cloud. Sheets imo is superior to Excel, you're not being 'extorted' by MS, no cost to download or use Sheets or docs, free updates, zero viruses, or put it this way, viruses are unheard of in my experience. Yeah, so basically you'd be paying for handholding private tuition. I'm thinking along the lines atm of you'd pay per project. I'd list out the topics and charges per item and then if someone wanted something different I'd quote. I could share a myriads of special formulas, some I've created myself, even better than what Chatgpt offers. A couple of days ago I wanted a 'different' formula. Google search offered a large formula. Chatgpt offered even a larger formula. I thought "bugger this" so mulled for a total of 5 more minutes and created my own whch was no more than 6 letters long. Yup, my experience with Chatgptg is it's not doing a good job on formulas, so far I've beaten it everytime.
Yup, my tuition would be better imo, it would be private, personal, handholding and addressing your particular need, no videos, just spreadsheet / word document examples over cloud with illustrations / screen shots. Stuff you can copy and paste to yourself.
There is something to be said about KISS. Our resident user @Scataphagos is forever championing KISS and imo he's spot on, the holy grail of trading imo is KISS. It is very difficult to make something simple out of something which is complex. But simplicity is the key, the more complicated, the deeper and forked becomes the rabbit holes until you are lost in a labyrinth of analysis paralysis. What I would teach, a young school kid could do. The problem for many is, how does one start. Not knowing becomes the barrier to knowing. I'm convinced what I'd educate would be a true "aah haa" moment. Every time you open your algo sheet, there it sits, updated data, updated results......, nothing more to do, just take it in and absorb the custom information you have created....
If you want to go into programming and/or IT support, don’t you first need to have a proper Indian accent for that???
Good Morning themickey, How can I grow an account in the ES futures market from $1000 to $1 million within 1 month with an algo system. Thank you In other words, if you want customers, GIVE THEIR ASS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT, and be quick about it. You NEVER going to get customers with all this spreadsheet and Google API and all that stuff.
Good Morning Laissez Faire, Exactly . @themickey you really need to get serious about making alot of money. Rather be about trading or selling a service. If you trying to enter the Trading Selling Service. The very first thing you need to master is "How to be a Consistent Perfect Liar" If you not in agreement to be a Perfect Liar, stop trading selling business. It's not going to work.
I still like the idea. I’ve never learned how to pull live data from websites into a spreadsheet and that alone would be worth something to me.
