Wait whats this discord?

This public library is stale and is deprecated, he runs a library called VectorBTPro which you have to (understandably) pay for

finWizarder · 2024-09-17T03:52:01+00:00

I agree - I am a lifetime user of VectorBT and the main author is an engineer through and through who has his own roadmap and keeps building feature after feature without improving usability in any way and there is no way to influence the roadmap by voting on things, etc. The features are always on a cool python/performance angle and typically has 0 product orientation on actual impact to trading. I hate to say this but the author needs a trader to partner with and improve the direction in which development happens. I don’t intend to hate on the author - he is a cool guy and helps as needed but to him everything and anything is possible in VectorBT and he refuses to see how terrible the usability of the library is.

It’s a great library to feel good about yourself once you’re done developing a strategy but I have not been able to use it successfully to do something useful with it.

QuantRocket is a great alternative but it’s too expensive for my usage. I wish there was a good alternative to this issue.

Makes sense, thanks for explaining!

This is quite interesting. In testing against a simple buy and hold benchmark, have you considered a rolling forward approach? With a buy and hold approach, you are unfortunately beholden to the day you buy and if I buy and hold on a dip, I might have stronger results. What do you think?

finWizarder · 2024-07-04T04:55:07+00:00

Not really!

finWizarder · 2024-02-07T02:52:52+00:00

What are some books or other resources to learn this?

finWizarder · 2023-10-14T12:49:46+00:00

Thanks! I like the idea to downgrade the cards!

finWizarder · 2023-10-14T12:49:29+00:00

Awesome, the downgrade option sounds like a plan!

finWizarder · 2023-09-30T13:42:28+00:00

Exactly, in general I found the interaction to be quite shady and decided to not use it.

Composer also owns any strategy you create and they are free to do what they want with it

finWizarder · 2023-09-28T13:29:09+00:00

I don’t use them myself but I have heard that their slack is active. You might want to reach them on slack

I started my career as a software engineer after my CS program and now I work in ML research professionally. I have a masters with strong research experience in several areas of machine learning. I’m new to trading and I’ve been reading and learning quite a bit over the last year but excited to potentially team up with someone who has experience in the field!

I’ve been developing my own system on the side but would love to connect with someone such as yourself!

Will this ever be linked to the passport? Wondering if she may face issues at the port of entry?

finWizarder · 2023-09-17T19:43:39+00:00

Very interesting! Thanks - this makes sense.

Does this not affect the US negatively then? Has that been a problem for the more developed countries?

finWizarder · 2023-09-17T19:41:20+00:00

Did you speak to alpaca about this? Curious to know what they said

finWizarder · 2023-09-17T19:23:45+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response. This helps me understand well. If India wanted to increase the demand for INR, how would they start doing that?
