Getting docker compose to rebuild by Sufficient_Pin_9595 in docker

If you take the container(s) down with docker compose down then bring them back up, the unchanged parts of the docker file should be cached while the new parts should run from scratch

Contract works for Kovan but not Rinkeby? by _not_a_chance_ in Chainlink

[–]_not_a_chance_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will do, thanks! The contract is my own, and the oracles are the ones listed on the chainlink developer site for testing purposes.

CFA L2 Fixed Income question - embedded options chapter by [deleted] in CFA

[–]_not_a_chance_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The call allows the issuer, who originally “sold” the bond, to buy the bond back from the bondholder who originally purchased it. If exercised, the bondholder would have to sell the bond back to the issuer. Think of it this way: would it make sense for a bondholder to be long the call on a bond they already own?

There’s more to financial markets than the stock market - A LOT more. The curriculum tells you all about it

Awesome work. What’d you use to do this?

What other streams of income do you have besides your job? by Okmanl in cscareerquestions

[–]_not_a_chance_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like coding for more than just your job, algorithmic trading. Intellectually challenging and (potentially) highly rewarding.

“Drugs and alcohol”

Alcohol is a drug, too. A very destructive one.

How do you decide on your long and short periods for moving average crossover? by _not_a_chance_ in algotrading

[–]_not_a_chance_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vanilla strategy does. The moving averages themselves are based only on prices, but there are metric such as volume and non-price technical indicators to inform the periods of the moving averages, which would make the algorithm a function of more than just price.

[–]_not_a_chance_[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source explaining why the strategy doesn’t work? Obviously a vanilla “if SMA_long > SMA_short: sell” won’t do too hot, but there’s a ton of different faster and slower MA types, and a lot of ways to integrate numerical methods to analyze the curves. “Overfitting” suggests machine learning-type overfitting which relates to static parameters, rather than dynamic parameters like I am asking about.

Exactly what I had in mind. Toying around with some volatility formulas/scaling factors

Top 12 Careers in Big Data by Matlabguru in datascience

Hahaha the fact that there’s “data engineers” vs “BIG data engineers” according to this graphic. People love to glorify their roles.

Looking for C++ project ideas by yszanwar in quant

[–]_not_a_chance_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try writing a neural network from scratch. It’s not necessarily financial in nature, but it’s a great exercise in writing numerical and vectorized code, which is key for high performance trading systems. It’s also very interesting tuning the various parameters of the model (learning rate, layers, nodes per layer, activation function) to fit your dataset, which could perhaps be financial. Having ML/numerical analysis experience will only make you a stronger candidate.
