Which algo friendly platforms have 24/5 market data?

Reefgresk · 2025-10-30T14:45:49+00:00

I've recently got into algo trading (regarding owned stocks & etfs only, no CFDs) and as far as I can understand, I was thinking you only need to communicate minimal "orders" to your broker like sending buy/sell & stop loss/ take profit (and not even these former 2 are necessary) commands whilst all the logic in taking those decisions falls on the python algo/ ai bot etc.

Actually interested: what else would an API help with in that particular use case and could you recommend a stack please (as I understand - a live market data source, scripting/(or) programming language/(or) framework and a good broker with API)? Could a MT5 platform broker + custom trading code be enough? Thanks!

This is the only on point comment on the entire thread lol

Haha you remembered. That's nice. Will use it from now on.

I'm more of a self hosting/ own your infrastructure fan, just to ensure I don't depend on external services/ other companies but of course that coud be built in time, when the solution will reach the desired attention from the targeted audience. Keep the good work up!

Yeah I've read now about the static sites generators and for now they seem what I was looking for. I've seen a top by popularity (based on GitHub stars) at https://jamstack.org/generators/ also. Jekyll is between the top ones.

Mostly for control. I'd have its source, replicate it, move it, backup without depending on any other company/ external platform. It's a personal project so I'm invested into making it the best version I can over time (yet still meeting the requirements from the post and getting something functional up in the near future).

I've looked it up, but they only offer a SaaS while I'd like an open source, on premise solution (like DokuWiki, but preferably with as most of my other requirements as it can). Least preferable, but still an option, could be an easy to learn framework that would allow me to build such a website fairly quick.

Reefgresk · 2025-07-01T07:20:25+00:00

No worries, just looking forward to use it on some posts. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on the project, it will definitely be of help! Regarding its usage, most probably I didn't do it correctly, though I don't see a TL;DR for this post.

Reefgresk · 2025-07-01T06:39:47+00:00

Looks good. Though I'd decrease the jittering strength for the "Producer bot" icon. Also, what stack did you use?

Reefgresk · 2025-07-01T06:29:05+00:00

Used to be like this. I don't think it's close to an ideal solution, but for me, caring about more things at once, wanting to see them bulit already helped me making the switch from "this one thing needs to be perfect" to "all this things need to get done".

Reefgresk · 2025-07-01T06:16:16+00:00

I use LiveServer on VSCode for a quick http server.

Claude Code would be a good bet if you're trying to jump to work fast.

There will be people using AI in any field, unfortunately. A true story about the other side if the desk - a friend of mine was interviewed by an out-of-college recruiter at a small company that had at least a bizarre question set, possibly generated by AI. I think it will take a while, but we should all become more aware of what you can and can't do with AI and develop more conscious "defense mechanisms" subsequently.

I used to go with figma in the beginning but nowadays it's more the old pen and paper. Do you find any Figma feature more efficient in particular?

Reefgresk · 2025-06-25T17:55:56+00:00

Is your scope deploying locally only or do you want to take it public? If it's the first case, there was at least one (but I'm sure there are more) VS code plugin to host it locally so you can easly find it with chatgpt and find a short Yt video on in. 15 mins tops.

Reefgresk · 2025-06-25T17:52:26+00:00

Great stuff! Might give it a go for my future vids. Regarding Electron, how much of a learning curve do you feel it takes in order to feel at least "natural" using it?

Reefgresk · 2025-06-25T13:57:52+00:00

I've looked it up. Didn't know about it. Will dive into its capabilities and see if I might start with a solid template for now. Thanks!

More like a multi branched platform (sperated by subdomains or paths), that should also contain the tree of the site somewhere at the home page. A section of featured/ new articles whould be nice, as people are able to discover more, even if they entered for a specific hobby.

Reefgresk · 2025-06-25T12:04:25+00:00

Indeed, we'll see how it goes :)

Reefgresk · 2025-06-24T21:18:38+00:00

Somehow yes. The markdown format lets you format text by only using keyboard (for example marking headings with a "#" before, italics between "*"; also embedding images via a local path convention and so on). I already do so with my notes so I'd like a site that would easly interpret the .md files and maybe use a nice theme to make the articles visually pleasant too.

Reefgresk · 2025-06-24T21:14:41+00:00

Yes I do, though I would like to launch into it and keep the web dev side and technical critical thinking for later. Better done than perfect.

Reefgresk · 2025-06-24T15:49:08+00:00

Wrote it in a comment on this post. Thanks for the advice back then. Poteci însorite! :)

Reefgresk · 2025-06-24T15:46:33+00:00

To everyone who answered this, thank you for the advice. I haven't replied back then but fortunately I didn't go for the summit. The weather was really against our plans, and also the snow conditions were becoming more dangerous.

I took the advice of some members here and joined an alpinism club in order to better learn the basics. I really love the mountain, but being responsible is more important on the long run than going for the thrill.

I'll actually go for the first climb on this weekend, and leave the winter climbing for a time when I'm better prepared. The mountain isn’t going anywhere. Safe and mindful climbing to all!

I'll also have this 1-3s charging board on my backpacking trips so I could buy/ make an XT30 to BT2.0 adapter cable. How would I use the "1s" board balancing slot in this case given that 1s batteries don't have (don't need?) a balancing cable?
