General musings from someone in over their head
So I finally got around to dabbling with the innards of my program over the past couple of weeks. One major update I made was incorporating trailing stop-loss actions, rather than simple stop-loss.

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…

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…

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…
