I wrote a bot and gave it 25k to trade

    IMO vaguely is: Core is based on custom pattern recognition algo, about 3k lines of code.

  2. Since you have a profitable algo, I'd obviously define "vaguely" as "upload the full codebase." :)

    I hope the first reaction after seeing the image was "codebase is here!

    Both have advantages but i would not use python in performance hungry core components.
    Maybe if wrapper to C like Numpy lib and not too many function calls.
    I tend to add parameters that can increase test periods exponentially.
    Atm its normal for test to take a week
    Waiting times with python would be too long (probably like week C++ vs month+ Python)
    And idk what to improve next if modifications are not tested.
    So in my case development speed and execution speed are both faster with C/C++.

    A good developer is worth 200K annual. Will rather code in python and then buy 96 cores if performance is needed.

    I don't think everything can benefit from parallel processing. Some things have to happen one after the other.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    IMO its always better to work around a problem vs throw money at it.
    But yes developer time can cost more than hardware.

    In my country avg C++ dev salery was ~2k/month.
    At least 3-4 years ago when i checked statistics reported by devs.

    With experience and good problem solving skill 3-5k probably negotiable but rare.
    16k/month in usa? after taxes?

    In my case it could be parallelized even between server farm and each board could use 1tb+ ram to speed task up.
