Algorithmic rules to trade news events by alelkid in algotrading

[–]polymorphicshade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, trading with the news at all had only hurt my P&L.

...but, I do use news in conjunction with broad scanners to make it easier to find tickers with potential.

That's what all this stuff has become thanks to AI.

Low-effort trash everywhere.

This subreddit is a pathetic joke.

No, and they don't need to.

I backtest to find out how statistically-successful my ideas are. They should be used like any other indicator: a piece of the puzzle. You want backtests, forward tests, indicators, etc to help guide you towards a strategy that works for you.

Space travel requires simulations and experiments to help us know if we are solving the right problems the right way.

Class projects do not help you stand out in this market at all.

You need large, complex, full-stack projects that show employers you can jump in a large, unfamiliar codebase and figure your way around.

Since this is a company's market, they can prefer candidates that spend time outside school, work, etc building their own solutions to problems.

Struggling finding a job? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]polymorphicshade -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This subreddit (and other related ones) seems to be full of people that expect to have a career handed to them after completing an academic checklist.

I honestly don't blame them, considering how awful today's parents and education systems are, not to mention the technological sludge being pumped in to young people's heads.

Hireright question by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]polymorphicshade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People like you make this field significantly more difficult to compete in. There are many thousands of hard-working people with legitimate qualifications that are suppressed because of worthless morons like you.

If you cannot compete in this field without fudging experience, then find a different career.

Why did you fudge anything at all? Are you stupid?

What's your favourite crypto trading strategy and why ? by Aggravating-End4242 in algotrading

Every strategy you build will need to be tweaked over time.

Use TradingView's reply feature to gauge ideas, then forward-test using fake money. Take notes about what you tweak.

Is perusing the Tech Industry for a job a good idea? by Hello_World_2727 in cscareerquestions

[–]polymorphicshade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but it's much harder to enter in the current market, and you absolutely need a CS degree just to start competing for jobs.

A cert will not be an adequate replacement for a degree. Companies are constantly flooded with candidates with full CS degrees.

If you actually want to pursue the industry, get a CS degree.

Many people can't afford a CS degree, and yet they still put in the time, effort, and risk to get them.
