My current job is more focused on business processes and advising on cybersec, this means that coding for me is only for fun and side projects.
I love the syntax and the sufficient standard library. I would pick python every time, but Nim's performance and compilation to a single binary file makes everything so much simpler so I can focus on the features instead of having to optimize and manage dependencies.
I have completed Advent of Code in Nim this year and it has been a joy.
So far the only exchanges where I found some opportunities are the ones that do have a public API, probably because there is less competition on those.
For example, I have yet to find a single profitable pair loop on Binance, despite parsing their WebSocket feed.
But on exchanges that implement anti-scripts, it is not uncommon to have pair loops with a ±1% profit after fees. The hassle is to implement trading with tools like Selenium to proceed with the trade.
I recently made a bot to find profitable cryptocurrency pairs loops and while most exchanges already have dozens of users doing exactly the same thing (if the exchange itself is not doing it), I really liked the motivation it gave me to start a new coding project in a language I did not touch for some time (C#) instead of my traditional python approach.
You post just inspired me to make something similar (whether stocks or crypto) and I wanted to thank you for that. I too see trading as pretty stressful and demoralising (even for trivial amounts) and implementing my own stocks/crypto manager could transform those failed trades into "that's interesting" moments.
I live near Montreal, while the street orientations are in a grid pattern, since there is a 45 degree orientation for most of them, "North" is by convention in fact NW.
It gets even more confusing on the NE part of the city, where Montreal's "East" is closer to true North and Montreal's North is closer to true West.
I hear a lot of that, but when comparing the US to the rest of the West. To say that they are considered worse than those 3 countries might be pushing it..
If that power cable would be completely cut, the electricity would spark from one of the pole of the cable to the other, until some breaker shuts the thing off.
Even at great energy, the impact would be minimal.
Without diminishing the author's efforts, I would say that he quickly teaches his AI how to recognize The Onion articles, instead of satire articles in general.
I would be curious to see results with 3-4 news sources for each groups.
