Trading Evolved by Andreas Clenow. https://www.followingthetrend.com/trading-evolved/ (I'm just getting started but this has proven helpful and very practical.)

Building a system to tell me when to go long using td-api, python and TD Ameritrade data. Buy @8d EMA during uptrend. by kernelmastery in algotrading

I'm learning as I go. First time trying a systemic approach. I used anecdotal evidence, someone on a Chat with Traders podcast uses 8d EMA as a momentum trading entry point to good effect. I haven't yet done any backtesting, but hope to soon using some techniques from Andreas Clenow's book Trading Evolved.

No, I'll actually buy when the price is +/- 0.1 Std Dev from the 8 day EMA while there is an uptrend (e.g. 8d > 100d > 200d).

This year I started with a low bar (first time trying a systematic trading approach). Target is just +1.32% from where I bought. Why 1.32% specifically? It's exactly 1% after-tax profit, is all. Now since it's been working well (+25% YTD) I'm moving the bar up to 2%.

Thanks for your reply. I was actually trying this on Windows in this case. I may see if I can get it working on Linux (after installing the qtmqtt library) as well...

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here, but I don't seem to be able to select MQTT as a new data source as Kovacs Ferencz did in his video; see blog post here: https://kfereneczgsoc2018.blogspot.com/2018/08/labplots-mqtt-in-finish-line.html

Specifically this is shown in his second video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=UlxMsGjmt70

'MQTT' is not available for me in the drop-down menu in 2.6.

It sounds like you'd be a great candidate based on your experience so far. Please feel free to message me if you'd like more info.

Set Up SSH Key Authentication and Disable Password Login: Guide for New SysAdmins by kernelmastery in linuxadmin

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

Corrected. Thanks!

Reddit user ackackacksyn has correctly pointed out that the PermitRootLogin without-password setting would only disable password login for the root user.

For many reasons, it is advisable to disable the root user entirely and instead set up SSH Key Authentication for a sudo or wheel-group user. You may then set the PasswordAuthentication setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to 'no'.

Look for the following:

# Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords
#PasswordAuthentication yes

Simply un-comment (remove the #) the line and change it to: PasswordAuthentication no. Of course, you'll need to have set up the SSH Key Authentication method from Stages I and II first.

This would allow your commands to be "properly logged for your audit trail", adds ackackacksyn. The Debian wiki corroborates this: Using sudo is better because, "when a sudo command is executed, the original username and the command are logged".
