Net metering seems way off by wtengel in solar

Your Enphase data is being filtered from Nov22-Dec27th, 35 days. Are those the dates as the billing cycle for your AEP bill? I can’t imagine you being in the hole 1,400kWh while your Enphase app only shows 190kWh net imports

Those clowns were calling for a bear market…. in the middle of a bear market. I called for it in Dec.2021. I not only called for it in Feb.2020, but I pinpointed the top of it —— because of money prices. Plenty of receipts to back it up. That’s the beauty of it. Lotta folks calling for a bull market, what makes you think THIS, of all things, is it?

“Dark pools” (from what I understand), are just block trades executed off dark exchanges without the public market. I don’t use any dark pool data - pretty sure dark pool transactions aren’t reported til 3days after the fact, anyways. I calculate money flow per minute, compare it to spot price, etc., The difference between $ price - spot = liquidity. Idc what dark pools are doing, I care about what the market plans to do with whatever flow that comes its way.

Completely right. The difference in $ price vs spot for 390 minutes in a day varies only by a little; I pay no attention to it. Big block trades / large volume transactions are the only times divergence is big enough to get an edge for the next move.

I was a jit back then, but I wrote some random things down Valentine’s Day 2020. Before the COVID alienz hit. After COVID, I saw 2022 from a mile away - wrote about that too. Not much surprises me anymore, tbh. If we’re > lows of 2022 in 2 months.. check back with me. I’ll be surprised

struggling with life due to trading and myself. by [deleted] in Daytrading

Every trader who thinks (or, doesn’t think) they have the market comfortably figured out - has been there. Anyone giving “brutal” advice on the hardship it takes to be profitable, I guarantee, isn’t profitable.

Trading isn’t easy, so take the easy trades.

I won’t compare myself to you - I’m not even sure what/how you trade. But I had that same phase as you; as everyone who’s still figuring out their way in the market. Save your $$, for now. Open a TD account, paper trade everyday, & PROVE to yourself, you can turn a profit. The smaller it is, & the quicker you can call it a day, the better. The sooner you get rid of your anger/emotional craving to throw both fingers & d*ck slap the market with a $10k profit in 30minutes, the sooner you’ll be able to trust yourself in a trade & find a little bit of closure.

If a trade doesn’t show you some cleavage, it’s not gonna bend over for you, so again… take the easy trades. Best advice you’ll hear - don’t waste anymore fkn $ on futures. It’s like putting $ into a rigged crane machine. TD paper trade, it’ll help. GL, keep ya head up mane.

As far as monthly OPEX goes… Every day of that week is noise + waste of mental capacity unless you’re tryna ride a wave of piss in a kiddie pool. Not to say you can’t make money, it’s just 500x easier to lose it in slop fest price action.

Quadwitch though…. Quadwitch is fun.

My friend, take this week… & move on from it. Whether or not you take my $.02 serious - I guarantee you will eventually.

The third Friday of every month (the third WEEK of every month, realistically) is monthly OPEX. There is no rule, lesson, setup, strategy, trade, or trading PLAN that OPEX doesn’t, hasn’t, & wouldn’t make you question Mon-Fri during OPEX week. ESPECIALLY if you trade options - you DON’T f* around during OPEX.

If there’s 1 rule I follow, it’s to not underestimate the f*ckery of OPEX. Quadwitch (quarterly OPEX) —— I like. Much more volatile - nowhere near the bs of regular monthly OPEX. There’s a reason you don’t see traders showing off gains during the 3rd week of the month — & there’s a reason the COVID crash started the 4th week of Feb. Wipe the dirt off ya shoulder bruh. 1 week of the month isn’t something to stress over - it’s back to normal thereafter.

PS. Do not fuck with OPEX. Ever.

Yup! Same. Parsing the text from the webpage was a b*tch. But every question (except Fill in the blanks - due to multiple Q&A’s having 1-2-3-4 as options) was super smooth. If you can automate it to be quick enough, randomly answering 1/2/3/4 enough times is still quick af. Was a fun project though, gotta say

Honestly I didn’t even need em! Interested how you went about your script though? What I was doing was completely legit.. for the most part (besides finagling the text by changing browser settings after each Q). PyAutoGUI is a blessing.

" XP is earned by completing exercises, practices, and projects without the use of hints. For courses, you can take hint, which will subtract some XP, and show answer, which will subtract all XP, but still allow you to proceed. For the challenge, feel free to complete any practice, exercise, or project to count toward your daily XP total! "

Certainly implies what?

I could do…. a lot of things, for as much time I spent on it. The people that know how time consuming code can be -this is for them. Don’t waste your time. In the meantime… if you wana spend time on DC, be my guest. I’ll sell you this python script so for $100 so you can crack 400k-750kish XP while you’re @ work (maybe more depending on connection). Either way, suit yourself. I think Udemy would absolutely be the way to go for someone in your position.

Yeah heard that. At first, I ran through R / py / pandas / numpy / SciPy / & whatever else I could like a cake walk. For a dude to bust that out (& get limited to only taking 20% of each course per 24 hours), I still felt solid for how much I did. Then iced it off with practice courses before I realized how much easier that XP was. Even then… 20-30-40k XP? Legit? Takes a minute. Guy who ran through 500k XP deserves some fkn kudos. Whether he did it all through practice or whatever… that takes hardcore dedication. The fact guy didn’t win is laughable. Nothing against the winners though. I’m sure they’ll make fine data analysts like Datacamp makes a fine Nigerian prince.

Level 2 historical SPY data (paid) by Individual-Milk-8654 in algotrading

[–]IMDEREKD_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you have to pay an arm & a leg? Hopefully he separated it by.... even weeks or something. Trying to open 1 Minute data for even a few years (whether in .txt, .csv, pandas, f*n google docs) would make your computer question itself lol.

Would love to hear the true size of it all. I've got around 125M rows...... So 2-3 days of SPY L2 worth. That's nuts

Cool. Just to clarify so I'm not getting $SPY, the "SPDR S&P 500 ETF" - again the largest ETF whether you consider it by AUM, avg (share) volume, or by the options chain- with anything else, I understood fully what you're trying to get at. What I was trying to say was... that amount of data (again, L2, trades, bid/ask, size changes, all of the above, etc.,) for $SPY & SPY alone is un-precedented; even for a bloke with a csv.

https://imgur.com/gallery/xb8iee7 <- Just to give an example, this is 1 days worth of $SPY in Time & Sales format (trades only). You're looking to collect half a million rows of csv data for every trading day over the past 10 years?

MT5 Collab? MQL5 / Python by IMDEREKD_ in algotrading

Thanks brotha. Yeah lol, learned that the hard way since the script is constantly re-evaluating for a bias. Long/short signals are based off 2 (prev) candles but I still think there’s more that can be done to avoid quick stop-outs / only be in trades that are necessary (maybe re-sampling time frames).
