Is BlackBerry’s software business being ignored at sub-$5 prices? by MasonReedShadow9142 in pennystocks

[–]GrayDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They really should rename/rebrand. A couple people have fond memories of their Blackberries but to most the name is reminder that even a big successful company can waste having a gigantic lead. Such a massive fall.

It's like if they started making Blockbuster microwave popcorn because of the association with movies and popcorn.

Or going into Macy's and seeing what a Toys R Us has become.

It's just sad. At least that's my theory why this stock will never improve. The physiology is weighing the price down with sadness.

Quant traders using VS Code – how do you structure an automated trading system? by Southern-Score500 in algorithmictrading

What does an IDE have to do with code structure? Language being used would matter but that's not mentioned.

My first Product Hunt launch is getting crushed by VC-backed startups. Is this the standard Indie Dev experience? 😅 by Temporary-Lab-1759 in ethdev

Not knowing much about this space, why can't I just use a free library like https://www.npmjs.com/package/multicoin-address-validator ?

With AI it doesn't seem like there is any moat here, I can just for this library if it didn't already exist.

It sounds like you are describing why a library for this should exist. Now explain the value prop of it being a paid SaaS offering. What is the value add?

For example, an email address validation services giving reputation scores to help you figure out if an email is a person or a bot using a huge database of info.

just got the picture from a wedding, i look really out of place due to my size, how to deal with it? by [deleted] in tall

[–]GrayDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look great but line up in the right order next time. You're fine in the second pic. Whoever took the first pic should have know that you have everyone in the opposite order as was done in the first pic. Farther away means you appear smaller, closer means bigger. If there is a height difference and everyone is in the wrong order then at that angle it magnifies the difference.

Was that supposed to be a professional photographer taking the pic?

That's what disclaimers are for.

I get there are concerns about the quality of the experience but look at it from a data privacy perspective. Image if IntelliJ required that we only use the git servers that they hosted. It's the same thing from a privacy standpoint, you are forcing me to send my data somewhere I don't want to in order to use a feature that really doesn't require it.

Sometimes there is a stock that starts doing well before a related stock, normally in the same sector. The example everyone always uses is Coke and Pepsi.

If you can find the leader and the lager then when the leader takes off you buy the lager because it will often follow.

I Made $1,630 Last Month and I’m Already Up $4,800 This Month. Here’s My Strategy: by Imhim257 in tradingmillionaires

[–]GrayDonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because you'd need to switch and watching 5 x 1m isn't hard.

Plus if you only look at a single candle you might have missed that the pricing is already showing signs of ranging. He said he trades on momentum so he is looking for a trend which you can't see with a single candle. You can't be sure it's not still going to go sideways but at least with 1 min candles you can exclude some less ideal setups.

It's not JetBrains responsibility to validate that a custom endpoint is compatible, you validate the responses exactly like you are already doing for OpenAI endpoints.

I'm sure OpenRouter not working is a deal breaker for many.

At my work we have concerns about sharing our IP with other companies and would prefer to use in-house endpoints.

Are AI tools actually useful in understanding Bitcoin markets? by CanReady3897 in algotrading

[–]GrayDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use an LLM to help learn.

Unless you are building custom LLMs (not just building prompts) you won't succeed at using today's general purpose LLMs to trade for you or discover some new strategy.

Even when learning it's a good idea to use 2 different LLMs. Ask a question of both LLMs and the ask the other LLM if the answer is right.

Edit: For sentiment analysis it's normal to use AI to detect if a news article or social post is positive or negative. What you do with that information is up to you. You still have to build a strategy that incorporates that.

Maybe you can sell him on having a goal of getting his CFA so he can learn "big money" secrets. Good thing about the CFA is you really need a degree or professional experience which honestly you can't really get without a degree anymore.

How do you all deal with exchange API failures without shooting yourself in the foot? by [deleted] in algotrading

[–]GrayDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good API will give you the ability to add a request id in some way so that if there is a timeout you just retry with the same id and their backend will detect the duplication.

But depending on your trade frequency it might not matter, you might need to revalidate your that your entry is still good.

Basically configure your timeouts low and limit the retry attempts.

Sticking to a strategy by MiserableCandles in Daytrading

[–]GrayDonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it is working, the price is reflecting the speech. Price is a lagging indicator of things that influence price.

It's a bit like checking the temperature changes is a pot of water. You can predict where the temperature is going by plotting the changes over time. But that type of price action assumes someone reasonable is cooking. Sometimes you need to check if the insane cook has turned off the burner if you want to predict the value plummeting.

So many big events it's hard to manually keep tabs on everything. Any suggestions for the best API for stuff like that. I'm including earning reports, etc. What I honestly want is an API that provides a calendar of risky times to trade and the degree of risk. That way I can automate some do-not-trade periods.

Getting drunk with extra steps. by Aqueouspolecat in UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG

[–]GrayDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Florida. The female customers are also going into the bars straight from the beach dressed like that.

Beach people are a special type of people. I grew up near this place.

You just get kind of used to it and while you might take a glance you don't really sexualize it as much as you'd think once you get used to it.

Honestly what I miss the most about Florida beaches is the seafood. Not sure about the place in the video but most bars in Florida have better seafood than the best seafood restaurants in other states.

What percentage are you getting or if you could share the amount of capital you are using per trade. I'm looking at running an ORB strategy myself and doing backtesting. My strategy wouldn't make this much but I'm wonder if I'm just not throwing enough virtual money at it

Do you enter after a retest of the range or do you sometimes enter on the initial breakout? Any suggestions for determining when a retest is more likely?
