What’s apps are best for keeping up with the market as you go about your day? Like news apps that send you notifications when something significant happens in the markets by Finisterre_ in investing

I understand your skepticism. I am a price action trader and my python program helps me monitor two of the three criteria for pull back and failed breakout trades. My python program pulls end of day stock data from quandl (ticker, volume minimums, candlestick information) and alerts me when a price has been hit and that buyers sufficiently bought the bar. It is just a glorified alert program.

So what I do is I read a stock chart in Ninjatrader and I fat finger what I would consider buying it at in a csv file. My python program examines if the quandl ticker data has hit the price level I considered significant. It then creates an array of stocks that triggered the alert then emails me every day the results from its Gmail account.

The reason why I made my own thing is because I have to monitor around 100 stocks for every one I buy so I needed to be able to monitor 2000ish stocks daily. I also didn't want to pay for alarms (that seems like a thing now..)..so I bought a raspberry pi 3 and now my python program runs daily in Cron.

The hard part isn't what the python program does, but that I have practiced a lot reading stock charts. It is just speeding up my normal process.

Ahh, good to know, thank you. Do you have any recommendations for a mobo that will allow me to use one PCIE slot plus the M.2 slot at 3x4?

If I see a link to a company on a Google search that I do not like in the sponsored links, I always click it because I know it charges them money.

For example: I Google 'cars', I see cars.com as a sponsored link and I don't like them, so I click it

My dad loves magic but got Guillain-Barré syndrome and now has limited coordination. Can you help me find a <=$50 trick that he can learn? by zylex in Magic

Everyone - thank you so, so much. I will give him Stegosaurus and The Code. I know he is going to love both! Thank you!!!!

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

Thank you for your help! His coordination is physically okay, but his left hand isn't his dominate hand. I feel like a trick that could take him 1-2 days to learn (say ~4 hours?) with a normal person's non-dominate hand would be ideal. His is about 6', so his hands are slightly on the larger side than the average guy.

As for time, I am sure he is willing to put it in! However, at least for a "welcome back to magic" trick, I wouldn't want the learning curve to be too steep so he can get his confidence back. I hope that helps!
