More big delays

Posted on December 20, 2020 by Enrique Garcia

Just when I thought I was turning the corner, another major setback; the house I live in has been having electrical problems, which started out with annoying voltage drops (lights flickering, device brownouts), and eventually graduated to blown-out circuit breakers. I’m not sure if the breaker panel is just that old or what but the…

I should know better but I don’t

Posted on December 3, 2020 by Enrique Garcia

Just when I thought things had settled down, two more major changes are now underway. First, recent download problems of the price data have resulted in my being guided toward a better download solution, but one which will require me to once again rewrite a good portion of my download code. Hopefully this will be…

Has my program been saved already??

Posted on November 28, 2020 by Enrique Garcia

I may have been prematurely pessimistic in my post last night! It seems that the problem that was causing my inconsistent results wasn’t variable or adjusted settings, but rather a carry over from old code. Previously, I was analyzing prices as my info was populated, and now I populate my pricing data first, then analyze…

I spoke too soon!

Posted on November 27, 2020 by Enrique Garcia

It seems my questionable enthusiasm in my last post was warranted; after a whole week of live testing, I’ve encountered a major problem, one that’s seriously gumming up the works. I had begun working on a front-end for my program, one that would both output all the day’s buys and sells, as well as more…

So close, I can taste it!

Posted on November 21, 2020November 21, 2020 by Enrique Garcia

The endgame is nigh! Well, the first endgame, anyways. If you know programming/coding, then you know you’re never really finished, there will always be bugs to squish and code to optimize or functions to update. But the first major “release” of my program is so damn close, I can taste it 😀 BTW, I’m not…

That thing where real life gets in the way

Posted on November 15, 2020November 15, 2020 by Enrique Garcia

So I’ve neglected my duties of conquering the stock market with my little project. Since around mid-October, I’ve been having some long-overdue dental work done. Long story short, I need a lot of work done, which is being spread out over the next 2-3 months. Because of this, I’ve fallen behind on my project as…

The neverending process of programming something

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Enrique Garcia

The struggle continues! Despite my previously posted hope that I’d be trading soon (at the very least, paper trading), things have continued to pop up that need dealing with. At first the issue was that I kept adding or changing things to make them better and more efficient. As I was adding more and more…

Hoping for live trading soon!

I’ve been working on my code like a dog this whole time and have made some major progress recently. One major change is to the “decision making” part of the code, the one that decides whether or not to execute a trade. Before, it was a large series of “triggers”, a bunch of if/else statements…

“Unaccounted For” and the Lack of Logic in the Market

Posted on September 6, 2020November 28, 2020 by Enrique Garcia

Last week highlights one of the big problems with combining swing trading and computers; sudden, “unaccounted for” changes, i.e. “corrections”. There’s no way to predict how people will react to news, across the board. Sure, if a company posts earnings above expectations, the stock will go up. If politics sour between the US and China,…

Hit and miss coding

Posted on August 30, 2020August 30, 2020 by Enrique Garcia

As I mentioned previously, I’m not an expert coder or programmer. I’m almost entirely self-taught, what I haven’t learned on my own I’ve learned via more experienced friends that I bug all the time. I use what I like to call “brute force” programming, that is, while I may be able to get my code…
