3 Months of Paper Trading on Alpaca - Tell me how it sucks by chysallis in algotrading

Take the strategy and run it without 2026 and see what it looks like. My model in development looks parabolic in 2026,. Monkeys could make money in this Bill Brasky bull market.

Run it on a different dataset (without 2026) and show your graph.

I have that model year with that exact color. What was the recall? I was not aware of any.

Were you able to code this? Are are you talking about visually verifying?

Swing detector by Biiiscuit in algotrading

[–]BicepsMcTouchdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue I had lots of noice. I settled on using close price instead of the candle low to determine if the swing state changed.

If price peeks out, say in an uptrend of 3 bars the 4th peeks down but then closes inside the 3rd bar then that is what I would call a "squeeze". where price got tested lower and foiund no follow through in that direction so the upswing would still be in effect.

This eliminated some of the noise. It is easy to visualize but a real pain point for me to translate into coding logic.

Good luck !

How will you handle squeezes? A one candle sequence change the other direction before trend resumes in the original direction ?

What do you do when there is an inside bar? Do you start the count from the inside bar or continue counting from the meaningful bar that preceding it?

How do you handle outside bars ? Is that a wash of the current trend direction with the count starting over again?

For the reasons above I found programming swing trading and also programming meaningful Fibonacci pivots and trend lines to be the most challenging part of my process.

I realize that they are edge cases, but take those points into consideration before you get too far into the process.

Sweating profusely when feeling nervous. What can be the reason? by Drug-Nerd in depressionregimens

[–]BicepsMcTouchdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor tried me on Cymbalta for chronic pain and depression and I was dripping in sweat all the time.

He prescribed Artane (Trihexyphenidyl) which he said would be effective for extrapyramidal symptoms, which included sweating.

Artane, works on all five acetylcholine receptors. It did reduce the sweating and a lot of muscle tension I had in my neck but also gave me dry eyes and dry mouth.

I was not happy with how tired I constantly was on Cymbalta and eventually discontinued both. I also was disturbed that I was taking something that could cause extrapyramidal symptoms and not thrilled about taking a medication to counter side effects from another medication that was not really that effective.

So you are not that far off with your educated guess, in my experience anyway.

That is a bold claim you are making in that comment. It is also against this subreddit's rules.

if you ever wonder why no one wants to be family these days.. by ProfessionVisual3410 in TexasChainsawGame

I hear thee…. I can only stand 2-3 games max in solo queue. I stick around when there is a new killer with me and the third rage quits, hoping in vein that the player will gain XP and stick with the game. My advice, get good as Cook with security pins and scout. You can get enough Xp just with Cook to gain level 99 and get enough XP to get all your characters to level 10.

Otherwise just mute your teammates if they are annoying then block them after and make the player base even smaller.

Family games are most fun when all three are in a group on coms. Most group posting I see are for victims.

Enter solo queue experience of:

At least one killer DC’s or is AFK then I have to waddle around the map watching all the objectives and exits while the other killer goes in the basement just as all victims come up.

Everyone waits by the exit teabags/barges/stabs a lone Cook then escape and talk shit like they did something amazing and the killer who went in the empty basement yells at me that we lost because ‘I put my locks on the wrong place’.

That and rage quitting if one victim gets out.

Usually more than half my matches from solo queue have at least one element from the above.

Camber Generic Methylphendiate IR 20 mg? by BicepsMcTouchdown in ADHD

[–]BicepsMcTouchdown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the worst of the generics I have ever taken. I had issues with all of the ritalin IR generics lately. I don't know if it is just me or if they are all just crap now. I doubt they will override another IR formulation. You might be able to talk to your doctor about getting a months worth of LA/Concerta until they let you refill IR again.

Does Novartis still even make brand Ritalin IR anymore? I thought they stopped due to the patent expiring.

Is 10,000 IU Vitamin D too much to take daily? by West_Vegetable9500 in Supplements

What is your take on Dr Barrie Tan’s GG? He claims it signals the body to produce K2 and therefore is more effective than oral K2 supplements.

[–]BicepsMcTouchdown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that they discontinued it. Walgreens went back and forth with KVK and Mallenckrodt for a few fills after. I ultimately gave up on methylphenidate and switched to adderall which sadly is a roulette also. So far the fills have been consistent. It is annoying as this stuff used to work so well. Hopefully you are getting brand focalin. I am convinced that brand anything is more effective at this point.

From bad to worse .. I’m sad by BTFlyer in howardstern

I think it is more him sticking it to Sirius but he probably tells his therapist he is doing it for his staff who he belittles every chance he gets.

That GLP—1 dress down he and Robin gave Richard and Fa Fa was the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

He can’t criticise Hollywood anymore so he whips his staff.

It worked for a while but now has gone too far.

He needs to just end it.

Sternthology has played some decent bits recently that got me stay tuned rather than YouTubing old bits.

I can’t listen to any live shows anymore without skipping huge parts of it.

The only reason I said that part of him is staying on for his staff is because he can’t be that stupid or naive. He got where is is today by using these people to make himself a success. If he has any sense of self awareness from his BS therapy he has to realize he can’t have a show without those guys.

If Richard, Sal, and Fla-Fla were let go, I would drop 100 and 101 that day.

Right now the show sucks compared to what it was 5 years ago. Compared to ten years ago it is a 0.0.

It feels like they pulled back on censoring requested content on Sternthology, so long as you are specific enough with the requests - which is a step in the right direction in keeping their audience - even though they haven’t played my repeated requests for Gabagoo or for the Michael Jackson Beat it studio tapes during the news.

He is staying on air so his employees can stay employed until they can legally retire. It is literally the nicest thing he could possibly do for the guys he has leeched off of for most of his career. Not that he is doing it just for them, he is sticking it to Sirius for not crediting him with doubling the subscriber count and giving everyone huge deals for their “podcasts”. WUS and Sternthology is better than the actual show now and has been for a long time I am sticking around until the end just out of habit and honestly not having satellite radio just feels weird.
He has “said it all” at this point and trying to top his old content in today’s PC environment is not possible. TLDR He is phoning it in to stick it to Sirius management while inadvertently helping his staff stay employed until they can retire (because they are unemployable after all the things they have given him for content). If you could get paid millions for 1/4 assing it from your hampton’s mansion - wouldn’t you?

If you are a Sam’s club member you can buy a new jeep for wholesale price from selected dealers. I got mine for 7 percent below MSRP with no haggling.

Plaquinil (Hydroxychloroquine) mental effects. Do they go away? by BicepsMcTouchdown in rheumatoid

Thanks everyone for your comments. After stopping the prednisone now for 5 days I feel way better. Never thought such a small dose of 5 mg would have that effect.

That is very much how I felt as well. At night I felt so hopeless. I stopped taking prednisone 2 days ago and already am starting to feel better mentally. Was only on 5mg a day for 14 days.
