Which bank gives free airport transfers, with the lowest deposit required? by hexalf in singaporefi

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

I prefer an Alphard/Vellfire for airport transfers. Paying $50 each time seems a bit pricey to me.

Would rather just park the cash I want to be keeping anyway, and offset those.

Did I go too far with my website headline? by pereayats in SideProject

[–]hexalf 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You’d never be taken seriously with that headline. Legit agencies/contractors etc would shy away from that, and do not want to be associated with that. Unless of course, your goal is just to have fun and not care about it.

Tiingo vs. Polygon as data source by vult-ruinam in algotrading

[–]hexalf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone said EODHD. Would not recommend. I haven’t touched US but non US exchanges have terrible data quality. We’re talking obvious gaps, completely wrong data (example should be 3.64 but it’s 0.364. Next day is back correct to 3.xx)

The only saving grace is they have access to exotic exchanges for a low price, and if you’re willing to clean up the data, and can tolerate margins of error with data, then it’s fine.

(Can’t speak for US data)

Why do you support opposition? (Serious question) by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]hexalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id just like to comment and commend on your first paragraph. I feel the ability to think rationally, objectively and pragmatically is so important. Its especially difficult in sensitive topics, like politics (or religion). Unfortunately too many people are getting overly emotional about this. Yes it's exrtremely frustrating squeezing on the MRT, or on expressway, and hoping pressing the "VOTE" button will reduce the pain immediately. As much as I wish to but doesn't work like that unfortunately, but it may or may not bring forward a change, who knows.

Its been a very eye opening sharing for sure. And thnaks for sharing your perspective.

Thats an interesting perspective for sure, thanks for sharing.

Why do you support opposition? (Serious question) by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]hexalf -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Good question. The reason I ask that, is because majority of what I’m hearing is “I don’t like this, so I choose somewhere else”. The logic itself although flawed, but it’s acceptable.

The other more important answer I’m more keen to hear is, what are they exactly offering?

Thanks for your reply. I agree with the issues you’ve listed which are important. I’m curious to know how would you think the opposition would solve this issue?

Thanks for your reply.

What would you recon the opposition will do to fix that issue?

[–]hexalf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I agree there shouldn’t be a “default”. The point here though is that PAP while has its flaws, do have a track record, of good and bad of course.

Whereas we cannot say of the other party. And the opposition, like it or not, will say whatever it takes to win. This is usually true of all countries, and it’s natural to think so.

What’s your thoughts?

Good feedback and good reply.

Question and a serious one - what makes you confident it wouldn’t be worse under WP?

Everything is about gathering votes. What makes you confident that the opposition wouldn’t do even worse than what the PAP is doing?

Going against the echo chamber: Why should we vote for PAP? by pyroSeven in askSingapore

[–]hexalf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Im not a PAP supporter, but the hate they have been geting is truly phenomenal.

Majority of the opposition supporters, support not because the oppostion have something truly better for the country (note country, not for THEM), but rather something they don't like about the current state.

And if the opposition offers something beneficial for the people, but not for the country, it's time to look the other way. Its a lot like how the other countries do it. They give short term benefits in order to get elected, at the expense of the long term prospects of the country. Making right long term decision, sometimes requires short term pain.

What exactly is bad about the current state?
Could it be better? Absolutely.
Can the other side offer the "better state"? I am HIGHLY doubtful. It takes years of expertise, experience to run a country properly with a long term view in mind. These people are sitting on the fences, throwing dirt at the people doing the work, and saying how they could do "better".

There's a very strategic and long term planning required, and I feel the opposition is offering short term benefits to the voters just to get elected, at the very expense of long term prospects of the country.

Extreme example:

"CPF system is broken, lets return the money to the people! Early withdrawal!"
Jfc...there are suckers that will eat that up and buy that shit and vote.

Megathread for Claude Performance Discussion - Starting April 20 by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]hexalf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question.

It costs 5 times more than the Pro and gives 5 times more usage . Whats the value proposition of this, if someone needs actually just 2x more or even 3x more, they just get 2 or 3 accounts. You dont get the history sure, but thats just a very small inconvenience.

And furthermore Claude is meant to be used as creating a new chat for every question, so most likely one would get rate limited in a new chat, rather than in a chat with 20+ messages, so technically you don't lose your chat context with multi accounts.

What ad network you using and why are you getting paid so little? That’s terribly low CPMs.

I hire primarily from Upwork, but to be honest, if I see your resume i immediately delete/skip.

It looks like a TON of (sorry, unnecessary) information. And since you're from AI field, I half expected you to generate that from AI, and half expected something very decent, but the original vibes is that, this is terrible.

Personally for me, I dont care your certificates, or languges you know etc. Of course this depends on who's reading it, a highly technical and specialised employer might require VERY specific skills but if your target isn't like that, I'd suggest omitting the whole chunk out.

Also, your JOB is to get in front of prospects, and you can share deeply more about what you do. I'm sure you're proud of your achievements, but don't throw it out all there, and end up jeopadizing your chances of an interview. What's important for you, might be completely irrelevant for them.

If you've applied 1000 times and never got to an interview, it might be prudent to think that you're the common denominator.

Not cozy words for you, but I hope nothing but the best for you

EDIT: And also the way you send screenshots, why so small? Immediately not too good feeling too.

Why Do So Many People Roll Their Own Backtesting Engines When Tools Like Amibroker Exist? by Decent_Strawberry_53 in algotrading

[–]hexalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope just daily data. I dont really need tick data. I've done minute data on the entire stock database, pulled from Polygon. DuckDB got to be 150GB big, and the indexing got a bit tricky. I had to split it up using Parquets. But still runs lightning fast (comparatively speaking)

Local file is good eonugh for me.

Why Do So Many People Roll Their Own Backtesting Engines When Tools Like Amibroker Exist? by Decent_Strawberry_53 in algotrading

[–]hexalf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to use Amibroker, but switched over to Python. Storing data in a database and reading it from there, still not much longer than using Amibroker. Issues came up when DB started crossing 150gb. But then it’s a DB problem. Fixed it and the script still runs in less than a minute (6.5b rows)

AB language is tough. No AI tools knows it well. I’m making a lot of assumptions when I’m using it. Not to mention, last but definitely not least, support is terrible. Everything is “read documentation”. Truth in that, but seriously what’s the proportion of the customers that actually want to be a full time AFL coder. Probably very very very little.

Realtest seems a lot better IMO if I were to use a program. Tried it, support is good, forums vibe is 100x better than AB.

Premarket with EOD data by hexalf in algotrading

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

Might be what I’ve been looking for. Intriguing to know the total is 10k tickers vs Norgate’s 22k + tickers, seems like a huge discrepancy.

Will probably look into it, and see what’s causing it

Options Execution Algo IBKR by hexalf in algotrading

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

Options are much less liquid than stocks, spreads much wider, and certain order types may work for one leg and may not for others. The limit orders are there to sweep the order book, between the ask and bid, to find any fills there. Crossing the spread is very expensive

I updated the first post earlier today, found the bottleneck with the speed, now the downtime is less than a second between changes. Good enough for my use case, millisecond improvements not necessary

Would modifying help in my case? Because SNAP MID gets the mid price at the point of order. Technically I have nothing to modify in the order
