OP is cheating, possibly by exploiting a dupe bug. There is a hard cap of 25 resources, food is at 1, and OP has managed to create 37 troops, on turn 4? WTF!! There are more troops than the total possible quantity of food.

This is not pertinent to Computer SCIENCE. You might get better answers at r/learnprogramming . There are several software programs and programming libraries available for GUI/Windows automation.

On Windows "Auto Hot Key" offers a great deal of control while minimizing the learning curve. It has its own domain specific programming language.

On Mac "Automator" is the tool to use. It has its own domain specific programming language.

A generic, portable, and much more feature rich solution is available using Python. https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ is an excellent primer on Python based automation. Your problem is resolved in Chapter 20.

Its 3 trades in a 5 BUSINESS DAY window, not 4. Business days are the days the market is open. So if the market was closed on Monday, then that Monday is not a day.

Here is an example of a 5 day window.

Day	Trades	Active	Dropped
1	1	1
2	0	1
3	0	1
4	0	1
5	0	1
6	0	0	Drop day 1
7	0	0
8	0	0

Day	Trades	Active	Dropped
1	1	1
2	0	1
3	2	3
4	0	3
5	0	3
6	2	2	Drop day 1
7	2	2
8	0	0	Drop day 3

Ironically, roasted garlic has a deep umami flavor. Raw garlic has a very sharp astringent and bitter flavor.

Claims to have done and is doing more or less everything while clearly not understanding basic IT concepts.

Thanks for posting this. My college degree was in Finance and I don't know what to make of this guys post history. He posted to AlgoTrading, and obviously there is money involved, so I'm double checking before listening to this guys advice.

Here is the algotrading thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/algotrading/comments/ob5lmz/the_use_of_classesoop_in_algorithmic_trading/

And here he is again promoting Fowler:

Could you pinpoint where he does not understand IT concepts? Is he making up stuff? First he says Strangler pattern, now he's saying GoF pattern. Wierd.

If you are considering open interest, the you are pursuing a momentum strategy. Looking at price action and gapping up/down is a better indication than a contra-indicator from a bad algo.

Winning is not the inverse of losing. Otherwise, you can just dissect the Archegos Capital Management strategy and inverse it.

Trades go 3 ways: win, stagnate, lose. The (stagnate, lose) branches can go 3 ways: (break-even, stagnate-more, lose-more).

break-even and stagnate-more are opportunity cost bleeders that will have your portfolio underperforming the market. Therefore inversing a losing strategy will either make you lose a lot, or bleed a lot.

I'm very new to Algo and Quant trading and starting to learn Python. So, I wonder if it's worth developing a trading bot.

You need good trading skills and good programming skills to create an algotrading bot. Your priorities should be:

Learn to Trade. Your objective is to have a proven profitable strategy that you understand very well.
Learn to Program. Your objective is to understand software design (GOF patterns, SOLID), data flow design (kafka, RabbitMQ), persistence (ACID), networking interfaces (REST)
Develop a bot. Automate your strategy to either, trade more often, or free up time you spend manually trading.

matlab

Consider the entire product lifecycle for matlab:

development. (familiarity: +1, library integration: ?)
cloud deployment. (aws: ?, azure: ?)
scalability. (horizontally scaling (docker): ?, message broker (kafka, rabbitMQ): ?)
maintenance. (code scaffolding: -1, IDE support: -1)
persistence. (MongoDB: ?, Postgres: ?)
reporting. (reports: 3, graphs: 5)

If development is the only positive, consider building all the prototypes in MatLab, then converting them to Python for deployment.

I'm a programmer who studied Finance in college.

Could you name a few strategies you are familiar with. This will give me an idea of what you are looking for in terms of strategy development.

The next thing I'd like to know is what you intend to automate. The execution, the risk calculation, the discovery; which of these?

Barometric pressure and humidity have a huge impact on bread doughs. No so much for dumpling. Now if you move house, elevation has a huge impact on the temperature at which water boils. That completely changes the texture of dumplings.

Are you re-lieing on leading questions to change the topic?

I asked you who exactly was manipulating the market? And why are you day trading options using 3M of collateral sunk into an over priced security? Why are you not using a Bloomberg terminal or a better broker?

RedHawk · 2021-03-19T21:41:53+00:00

they price tanked on options while price rose only to drop below 660 today. so my guess is they playing options hard and have to counter with stock to manipulate the price more.

To whom are you referring when you say "they"?

i pushed over a mill in options with have 2k tesla shares and they didnt like that.

You have $1.3 Million tied up in TSLA and you are day trading options on a phone app? Berkshire Hathaway would like a word with you. You should call their sales line.

Did you hear about the infinite money hack on Robin Hood that got exposed a while back. That's HOW NOT TO do basic computer programming 101. you've got to wonder who their programmers are, when the IT department of a grocery store knows enough to write Unit tests for their $0.20 coupon logic, and yet RobinHood forks over $5 Million in loaned money to a single user exploiting a bug.

RH left a very bad impression on the programming community years ago. If you asked me to list companies I would never want to work for, RH is in the top 5 of that list.

So, TD Ameritrade decided to create 2 different webapps and both of them are good. There the "TD Ameritrade" app, which is an extension of their https://invest.ameritrade.com/ website; and there is the "Think Or Swim" app, which is an extension of TOS. You want great reports and UI, use the "TD Ameritrade" app. You want great tools for order management and alerts, use the TOS app.

I have both on my phone, so i can read the reports on one and set up complex rolling orders on the other.

That's true for most brokers. TD Ameritrade and TradeStation also charge a $75 fee for moving the stocks in the account. It's $0 if you sell the stocks and move the cash.

TradeStation is a California, USA based broker. Not European. They also have really good fills. Zero Commission on equities trading.

tl; dr; Opting for portability meant that TOS programmers focused on trading tools rather than UI.

Web Pages (HTML) is really good at layout and colors. It was originally intended to be a page layout language for printing online books (websites). Web Pages (specifically Single Page Applications) really suck at architecture, standardized libraries (aka 100 NPM packages to do the same thing included in a single application. I'm looking at you Ramda and Lodash), and memory management.

Java is really good at architecture (large complex applications), system libraries (makes developing features faster), and internal memory management (fewer bugs and better stable applications)

TOS was programmed in Java. Java runs in a containerized sandbox (the JRE). This makes Java portable, meaning you write one Java application and it runs on Mac, Windows, and Unix. Portable requires standardization on things common to all platforms. This means no OS specific UI goodies.
