I know that feeling all too well, senpai.
Also, rkg talked about thirsty boys on tinder, made jokes about period blood, and a comment about crusty panties (when her SPY short was profitable) that just show imo too much of a knack for staying in character for being a dude.
RKG has stayed flawlessly in character (to my knowledge) for at least an entire fucking month, including "mistaken" posts of self pics or info while maintaining an image in the threads of poor communication skills

That's fine if you can't pull it up.

Was just interested in your background here, since it didn't fit with the whole hooker story.


>Am very amature at programming and using ML in general. Background is network admin.

>But it's very obvious ML is future and me desperately trying learn it. That one main reason why taking up trading so seriously. It's way to get practical practice doing math and programming.


I can't help much with the learning programming part, but thankfully ML is one of the least intensive areas for "software engineering" knowledge -- most of the good code is written by mathematical wizards that only picked up coding for their PhD, with little knowledge of object-oriented shit, algorithms w/ big O notation, or really anything that people in the industry with a bachelor's in CS take pride in.

Most of the good shit written for data science is completely procedural with high-school student levels of architecture and design.

So, if you can write a nasty, disgusting 100 line python hack that would make a "real" software engineer puke -- you are good to go!


Now here's the part that I love.

Academia can't teach ML for the industry. Too hung up on theory. I took 2-3 grad. courses on ML, and learned much more practical shit from blog posts and doing personal project type stuff.

You can get stupendously, ridiculously far without knowing any of the underlying math. That shit only helps if you are a deep learning wizard.


So, I can't provide good resources for learning programming itself because I'm unfortunately too much of a wizard by now to help there. But, not much programming skill is necessary. And, ML has a lower barrier to entry than advertised.


Learning resources next:

(PART 1)

>> No.10092021

Learning resources that I really do use:

>scikit-learn.org
the super friendly website for my favorite ML library. It's a Swiss army knife of all kinds of ML approaches and models. Guess what. You can throw an SVM together without knowing how to do the nonlinear separating hyperplane trick by hand. I know how to do the nonlinear separating hyperplane trick by hand. I have never needed to do that.
They have so many sick little scripts and tutorials and references that their site is actually my primary point of learning practical ML from.
>kaggle
ML competitions. I don't do them, but it's a great source for datasets to practice on, and people will post sample scripts of their submissions, which I use as a guiding template.
Some guy somewhere on there shows exactly how to train an RNN on daily price action for stocks. (I don't like this approach and am unsatisfied with his results.)
>Quantopian
non-ML algorithmic trading strategies. It can integrate with Robinhood and has examples of stuff like momentum trading. I don't want to be locked into their platform, and I'm using ML, which isn't their target audience, so not for me.
>machinelearningmastery.com
a real grand wizard's blog post that I've started picking up some theory stuff from. (Needed to learn PCA, and sklearn site was unsatisfactory.)
>thepatternsite.com
where I like to learn about TA and FA from.
>financial-hacker.com-- smaller resource. I've been using it a tad this week to help with my latest project. Has some good research paper references.

(PART 2)

>> No.10092031

Data sources that I use:
>Quandl (paid, supposedly super good)
>ycharts (free trial)
>stockrow (free so far)
>Quantopian (very free, but feels like vendor lock-in, not ML oriented)
>Kaggle (very free, feels absolutely not vendor lock-in, but lower quality data sets, very ML oriented)
>Interactive Brokers API -- the retired quant. said that this is what his live system uses
>Stooq -- have used this. Get straight CSV dataset downloads. Very limited info, but at least it's something.
I took my first stab with Quantopian, I get scripts from kaggle, have used data from Stooq, currently plan to use data from stockrow next, then Interactive Brokers if ever close to a very solid & unchanging gameplan

no its going to 75 over the weekend and the dump will commence tomorrow or early AM on monday, before markets open. the only people till long oil (and doing it over the weekend ffs) are retail tards that have never traded oil. hell, even RHers are FOMOing into it, since equities are so broken. big boys will dump all over everyones head and oil will crash below 70/brl by wednesday. possibly even sooner depending on the level of panic

i agree that the longterm oil will be CRUSHING it this year due to runaway inflation and think were entering an episode not unlike pic related. but in the near term, the trade is likely going to be short oil

personally, i think this ha to do with KSA wanting to keep oil prices somewhat up for the time bing, but also bring them back down to unprofitable levels for KSAs enemies, whove recently stepped up production (iran, russia, even syria and the kurds)

>>10095578
OPEC kinda gets dragged along like a mother drags her kid through a shopping mall. they dont wanna go there, but mommy is making them. OPEC desperately wants oil prices up so that their countries can be profitable once again. but momma KSA has to make sure that they maintain the monopoly, and is crashing it down a little to fuck with iran and russias profitability.

theres actually a substantial aount of tension, from what i hear, between OPEC countries and the KSA. KSA does shit like this and acts out alone all the time. they did it in 2014, much to the dismay of OPEC, and theyll do it again. the caveat here, is that thy still need oil up for the ARAMCO IPO later this summer. im certain theyll have it back up at some point this year. or like i said above, inflation will unravel and all commodities prices will soar.

With the introduction of shale the cost of production has decreased exceptionally, dumb faggot. It's not 2005 anymore. US producers can easily pump for profit at $40. The only reason oil is as high as it is right now isn't because of muh inflation or muh population!!!! It's just the fact that shit is hitting the fan in traditional oil producing countries, and less supply = higher price, If Venezuela was actually pumping oil would be 60. If there was no Iran sanction bullshit, 50s

lol dont get so defensive m8 im watching the futures guys for my short term stuff, and watching EVERYTHING ELSE thats going on for my longterm plays (which if you read what i said, im obviously still bullish on).

fact of the matter is, its mostly retail buying up at these prices, and the futures guys cashed out at the last peak to mitigate risk. ive traded oil and know all about their little headfakes. but first (before mugging early shorts) they are going to mug the FOMOers.

>so you are saying it's going to be cheaper because production is cheaper?

uhh, yeah, that's how it works, dumb fuck. You can't expect the price range of 15 years ago when we have technology that exponentially supersedes production from back then. The US can pump more oil with 200 rigs today than they could with 900 rigs before shale, you have no fucking idea what you're talking about

Do you know what increased the price of oil from approximately 64 a little while ago to 74? No, you probably didn't even know oil went to 64 because you don't fucking trade it. You're a normie, you don't know shit, your opinion on CL is worthless. It went up because OPEC agreed production was less than expected and more Iran sanction shit

so you are saying the even with them finding cheap and efficient ways to grow and harvest food as well as raise animals that food hasn't got any cheaper even though the cost of producing the food has gone down??? is that what you are saying? You are saying they found a way to make electronics very cheap such as the iphone but yet the price never rises?

You are a fucking idiot. seriously.. you are fucking retarded... think about what you are saying...

You think that the price of something will go down because the cost of production will go down? did you just pass high school or someshit?? they have been finding ways to produce for cheap for hundreds of years.. guess what?? the price of those things continue to rise as they find cheaper ways to produce it.

This is business they are looking at increasing profit margins, they aren't going to pass along the savings of their cost of production onto the consumer.. this is business kid leave your emotions back at mommy and daddies.

dude why are you even posting such trivial shit like this? How the hell does this support your claim for $100 oil???? If you think more production = higher price I don't know what the fuck to tell you. The price isn't high because of PRODUCTION, it's because of SUPPLY TIGHTNESS due to GEOPOLITICS

GEOPOLITICS are why oil is high, and if you think it goes higher, you bet entirely on GEOPOLITICS. The s/d tightness determines the price, not people randomly raising the prices like you think happens??

absolutely. but only because you bought near term. lets say that you bought the put, with a month on it, then it traded sideways. thats fine right? WRONG. the whole time up there youll be eating theta, and if you bought it while it was crashing at hi IV, now you lose all that vega too. now youre probably already down 50% or so, and thinking, man i should bought longer contracts.

timing the market like that is a quintessential sign that you got lucky. you cant time the market reliably, but with options, you HAVE to.

all im warning you to do is buy longer term contracts. if you dont and eventually get totally fucked, idc. its your loss, not mine. for OTM positions i do MINIMUM 2 months, and i roll them continuously to the next two month when only a month remains.

you shouldnt desu
if youre trading commodities maybe a little more tho.

its my opinion that this FUD thats constantly being shilled out as "ZOMG TRADE WAR GOYIM!!1! SELL!!!1", is a distraction meant to hide the more serious problems w the widening credit spread from equities and the hi yield market. i think high debt memes are gonna have a hell of a time functioning

>>10097049
if IVs really high yes. you also have theta that will help out too. but yes, if you catch a lot f vega when you write it, you can be wrong and still get out out a loss. covered calls are sweet imo. not the most profitable, but who cares? a trade in wall st w over 50% chance of profit? ill take it, no matter how small. not to mention it lowers your cost avg by the amount of the premium

>>10097066
yea that stuff is rough on you longterm tho, keep that in mind. anything that just keeps squeezing the serotonin out artificially, is not something to take every day. and its not like the positive effects stay for longer than a week or a month or so. theres better stims out there with less of a head high. i found modafinil to be much better for those times i have to stay up for two days playing shows or recording or something. surprise tho, its non addictive (as it doesnt have any head high effects) so they hardly ever prescribe it. no comedown either.

Imagine if you have a product pipeline with a few extreme bottlenecks. You can slow down the non-bottlenecked end portions for all saturday.

For instance if the final stage can do 1000 cars a day. You give them the day off all saturday. While the other stages pile up. Then turn it back on Sunday for the 5k a week stage.

The manipulation possible is very high. Not saying Elon did it but if his job is maximizing stock value it would be ethical to give them a day off saturday.

I don't know anything about car manufacturing but who knows what is potentially possible. 6k+ would not surprise me if Elon did every trick possible.

better than being dead i guess

i wish this guy would do something on the global corporate bond yield curve though. theres exceptionally little amounts of good info on it even happening, let alone serious analysis on it, like what this guy does.

id argue that, in terms of treasury curve, that we cant necessarily judge it entirely on historical data, as the interest environment is MUCH different going into this (possible) inversion. popping it to zero and QEing it repeatedly, and now were still flat as shit. if you look at the curve prior to the tech bubble, it looks WAY different than it did in 94 and very different from how it is now.

one thing i HAVE noticed is the amount of people dropping shorter notes and bills to buy up the 20yrs (hence why TLT has been repeatedly pumped these last few weeks), so theres at least SOME who have a bearish sentiment in the market rn.

but again, im not worried about the treasury curve too much. its the hi yield stuff im on high alert for rn. those effects seem to be much quicker.

but im not running away from the market entirely, im just still on my trip that the GSCI is gonna outperform the S&P this year. im prolly wrong, but either way, i feel more comfy buying up undervalued commodities than "undervalued" equities. if i miss the golden bull, i wont be too sad (and i HAVE been buying up more consumers anyways). i prefer shorter term trades anyways

The best portions of the plant can do 6k/wk. (working 12hr shifts 24/7). The paint shop being the delay makes sense. Someone did the homework and they never installed a second paint shop.
https://mobile.twitter.com/eriz35/status/1012725871759765505/

What I am actually worried about is them not making the target (or "making it" in some shady way like considering an extra 12 hour shift or not painting the cars) then declaring it anyways and making the stock soar. The price of this stock based on what has/can be delivered makes absolutely no sense. It was trading at 300 when 5k cars/wk by end of june was priced in. Now all this hype because they haven't met their goal but promise too has driven it higher. There are multiple levels of manipulation going on with this ponzi scheme. Elon Musk has probably already committed securities fraud but will never get called on it because he is a rockstar.

Weekend threads are a good time for due diligence, research, pretending that you're going to work on an ML alg, and reading about how options work
near term options are one way that you *could* make fistfuls of cash, but I've always been at a total loss for everything that I've held to expiration.
I want you to look at my graph for the year, here's some a quick & easy on my trading history:

>make it back
>see FB falling on Cambridge Analytica FUD
>buy the dip 1-2 days into it
>oh, it's not a dip... how do I jack up my leverage?
>buy short term options on FB
>lose twice as much, twice as fast as I had from VIXplosion
>literally net negative
>realize it's a long haul play
>inject another 10-20 grand into my account
>buy 4-9 month out options on FB
>make it all back over the most stressful month of trading I've ever had -- go about 1 or 2 grand over my previous high
>play it safe for like 2 weeks
>short bond market with 3-9 month out options
>bond options start doing EXACTLY what I thought I would
>get greedy and chase with short term options
>suddenly it stops falling despite the feds announcing ADDITIONAL rate hikes
>lose all the bond options money I made, literally 1 grand or more expires worthless

ill roll 2 month ones on the month (or whenever theta becomes a problem) to the next 2 month ones at that point. i like this as it lets me realize gains on the way, and then i can flip my gains (or however much/little i want) into a much larger or smaller position to adjust my risk.

trick i learned is to not even show yourself your $P/L or %P/L. only look at the chart, your strike and your greeks. you should be able to tell clearly from those whether or not its a position worth staying in. and be picky about it too.

another trick is point and figure graphs. i like those because they eliminate the time aspect, and simply show you where the price action has been. then you put your strike RIGHT in the middle (or before it etc). ill grab a pic to show you
