Hi Anyone here interested in collaborating to script the NL's, cant imagine calculating daily weekly and monthly's ? Plus a lot of other work and questions surrounding the ACD foundation to do... Is there a spreadsheet already created to mark ACD for a few or dozen symbols ?
ok, why Python ? I have a person that builds scripts very readily in Israel, I would not expect you or anyone to give away anything, you sound "protective" why?
Python is a high level language and it's pretty easy to pick up, it also has a lot of great libraries for data analysis and trading. Protective, well, that's the business.
hi deltastrike well PM me if you have interest in collaborating in anyway, I am open to paying whats due and contributing
Any thoughts about why we don't have a forward curve for coal futures with similar liquidity as NG and CL?
Hi think because its mostly OTC market, longer term in nature as well. They trade calendars and long dated contracts, not a lot of participants on spec side
If you think of coal as being in the Metals/Mining category along with copper, silver, etc. instead of the Energy category, those other mining products don't have long dated forward curves either.
Coal is a very regional market and controlled by just a few players. Also most of the coal that is traded is longer term contracts. It's a lot like LNG in a way although LNG is becoming more short term oriented and contracts are becoming more shorter in duration.
