Here's a man who calculates faster than a modern computer. I've seen it all now. You should have rather said that you don't know how to calculate something with code, that I believe.
how do you know I am a man? that was your first mistake and i can calculate faster than my home PC when it comes to buying and selling. however as i stated i cannot execute.. that is buy and sell faster than a machine. maybe you should slow down and actually read what I wrote but yeah i saw your 10 year 500 trade bullshit algo trades you posted. i do 5000 a month manually with mouse clicks and no computer doing calculations.
My slowest indicator is around 10 milliseconds. It looks like you use SierraCharts, without giving me your secret sauce I'm sure I could explain how to automate what you doing.
Maybe more than bigger computers too (e.g., for discretionary trading). https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk...rain-30-times-faster-than-best-supercomputers
That just means you cannot program because any code in C will definitely be faster than yourself. Human reaction is already over a second, never mind something that requires a complex decision. I bet what you're using as your comparison as your "PC" is at least a thousand times faster than your brain when done properly. So you have a bone to pick with algo traders, got it. For the bottom line it doesn't matter which tech you use but if it's just calculation, a computer always wins. And $5000 a month is what I consider a flat month.
Yes a large part of mine is discretionary because imo it has a higher win rate, less trading, less brokerage but have I have mechanical tools to assist in finding and timing. My exits are discretionary too, not a believer in setting stops via signals as too frequently stopped out which results in (a) too many false exits (b) often can't get back in again because of sudden reversals or difficult to determine a re entry point.
