What do I do think of cryptocurrency bot software DIY with Gekko open source
Query from someone in my Meetup group:
Hope all is well.
Just touching base. Looking forward to the next meet. I’ve been having a tough time trying to get my GDAX account set up. No big deal…I’ll figure it out eventually.
In the meantime, the link below is one of the guys that I follow on Youtube regarding crypto. Here’s one of his latest post.
Have a look. Let me know your thoughts.
Enjoy!

Trying to save people falling for trading gurus where you need to do DIY
DIY = do it yourself
A person asked me from my Meetup group about this topic
I appreciate your quick response to my questions. I pretty much went through your 2 intro PDF’s from your website, and
wow..quite a few components involved in Algo trading. Its definitely got all the data science/predictive modeling components that I am interested in learning and developing which is Stats and Python.
However am still very novice at this stage and lots of concepts you have mentioned in your intro manuals assumes that readers are experienced traders, so I feel rather overwhelmed. And considering even though I am a keen but slow learner, not sure if you recommend me attending your training next couple of weeks?
I guess what I am trying to say is, there are all these amazing tools, but I am having trouble piecing it all together. Like where do I start? Do I start with setting a short-term/long term goal first? Then learn Stats from Khan academy, then learn Python, then design Algo trading strategy, then try paper money? You see what I mean. Appreciate any guidance you can give me.
Also Bryan, been meaning to run something by you for awhile. I attended a marketing presentation by this PowerMind company early this year, promoting their services to train folks for credit spread system. Below is the link , and youtube link is the gentlemen who made the presentation., can’t recall the name but think Jim Francis was the main brainchild for this methodology.
The 2 full day workshop is $2,000 plus. It sounds very convenient for couple of hours a month. I haven’t followed up after that, but love to hear your thoughts about this system.
Looking forward to your response.

Answers for DIY trading with automation algo and Python programming technology
From a recent group head I presented to a few years ago:
Hi Bryan,
You probably won’t remember me, but we met briefly when you did a presentation for the xx. I believe the Chapter Head, xx, invited you to speak with our group
Myself and a few others from a systems development meetup are on the path to wanting to automate some trading strategies. I’m/we’re looking at 2 options –
1) do it yourself / DIY
2) pay someone to fully implement system ideas
On point # 1), I was looking at python and an Ibridgepy for Interactive Brokers as a possible solution. Just wondering if you could provide some advice on software / languages and setups to use for automating stock (and possibly option) trading. Ideally it would be nice to choose from a universe of tickers and rank the signals generated by relative strength or some other ranking to give priority to certain stocks to trade over others. I’m personally more interested in swing trading and trend following versus high frequency or intraday stuff (xxx that I’ve copied on this email is more interested in intraday). An guidance or direction on platforms/software/technology to focus on, would be much appreciated.
On point # 2), what type of budget pricing should I expect for someone qualified to implement a fairly simple system from soup to nuts (based on rules any way), and, can you recommend some people I could talk to that specialize in this?
I noticed your site offers a premium subscription… does your subscription have archives and ongoing content for the DIYer? What is your subscription cost/and options?
Thank you.
Where are you located, and, would you be interested in coming out to speak at a local trading meeting Meetings average anywhere from 10-25 people, on average, depending on the level of interest from members.
Regards,

Rise of the DIY quant fund
There is lots of mention of services like Quantopian and Numerai. If you ask me, Numerai show most potential of them but always remember, you want to always own your source control for ultimate control. A compelling quote:
“The time will come when no human investment manager will be able to beat the computer,” David Siegel, the co-founder of quantitative fund Two Sigma, which manages $35 billion, told an investment conference in 2015.

Well I gotta tell y’all, I have a really awesome community. One of my Meetup members sent me this link:
https://quantlabs.net/blog/
Even when you think IBM is down and out, they come along to redefine potentially cloud computing with the next-generation in quantum. Pretty cool coming from a tech lover.
As you know it gets kind of exciting around here and I get lots of questions from readers like you. Here is the latest batch:
Q: …If you would kindly provide me with your honest opinion of Tradestation ? Is Tradestation a corrupt brokerage? …
Check out my answer here
Q: …I have stopped trading for sometime now and I have lost my faith in this business along with the people who have promised their system to be better than the rest, and to find out, they are absolutely garbage…It has been a very difficult and unpleasant journey for me as I have purchased many different ATS products from different vendors and I find myself back to square one. This is not a fair game and I learned it the hard way.
Sound familiar?

So remember, I’m trying to fight for the little guy also known as the retail trader. As I’ve been knocked back because of the deficiency of these WordPress plug-ins, I am more excited now that I’m hoping/praying this Qt with C++ application development finally works out.
This will make my Quant Elite membership hopefully awesome
