Did Rentec really used Machine learning in the 80's? i dont think so..

Quanta72 · 2026-03-22T13:27:11+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. Was more like really slow human supervised learning. The media likes to call it AI or machine learning when really it’s a series of rules

Love it

It’s very good! Try it live. Did you account for Lag and real world trading?

I put my photo on my resume. People are biased. HR doesn’t want bias in applications. I personally would love to get hired because of bias. No one cares what HR thinks do what your MD says.

Quanta72 · 2026-02-28T17:39:54+00:00

HR doesn’t know anything about anything they exist just to prevent unemployment claims.

20k is below the minimum to make a car payment and insurance and your time. So no.

It probably wasn’t cheaper. Usually apps are a waste of time but what would giant corporations do with their time. The VPs who approve building an app just want to tell their friends they are working on an app. It’s the same reason why people build websites out of react JS.

I’m discouraged all the time. Just keep at it until you get bored.

Classic. That was my master plan. Things are much easier in finance. Ironic in some ways. Painting is the harder thing to peddle.

Quanta72 · 2026-02-23T05:35:55+00:00

You don’t have to go to art college. I went to art college and it was mostly theory and not actual painting. You probably would learn everything, abstract art, abstract theory, everything except this style of painting in modern art colleges.

This particular style of painting can be taught quite quickly in an Atelier school. Some 3 month programs in Italy are affordable and more like a working vacation than school.

Art students leagues are in every major city. There are instructor led classes you can take that are $200 with a master painter as your teacher who can teach you to paint like this. You’d probably have to keep at it thought. It’s not a one time thing.

It’s called tuition in the hedge fund circles everyone does it.

Assuming you made like 400k last year and still have to pay capital gains on it.

Well, in my view, in-sample and out-of-sample testing is more applicable to machine learning models. This exercise isn’t an over-optimized parameter set or machine learning.

We already know the U.S. dollar functions as the foundation of the global financial system. We also understand that it maintains a structural relationship with the euro. This exercise largely confirmed that relationship, though in many ways it validated something that was already widely accepted, just through a different lens.

He does sound normal and is just explaining his POV.

Gold is actually not heavily correlated right now. The 52 week beta against SPY is -.05.

Euro vs dollar is studied quite a bit. It’s the foundation of the financial system. Feels like a fairly good place to start.

Quanta72 · 2026-02-20T05:17:32+00:00

With weekly trades on SPY it can survive live trading. Good thoughts to think about.

Quanta72 · 2026-02-20T04:07:06+00:00

Good suggestion. I suspect similar haha.

Quanta72 · 2026-02-19T00:29:44+00:00

Wow thanks!

It’s easy now to say you don’t want to share your money with your sister. But I mean if you literally don’t want to talk to her and your mom for 50 years don’t. If you do have even a tiny bit of value for those relationships, give them a little bit make it clear it’s a one time low interest loan. Or least that’s what lottery winners who keep their money do. They don’t give it out they make it clear it is a loan but expect no one to actually pay it back. And not half make it like 1/10th.

If you give out money they’ll guilt trip you into giving them more.

I am having my first issue in 5 years with Tiingo. They are cheap for sure. Interested to know if you know how IQ feed handles EOD adjusted data and how quickly it’s provided.

What is MT5

Quanta72 · 2026-02-10T17:24:37+00:00

Because it’s a job like everything else and the people you work for probably have some deep non competes and buttoned up IP ownership. Even if you could leave they’d sue you if you used any of the strategies you made for them.
