Stock market trading robots, being doing it for years and earning more than my "real job" - systems/security team lead in big telco... still have time till the end of the year, but so far this looks like to be my first triple digits return year, (which I don't expect to repeat anytime soon, but still it is a quite an achievement in my book...)
- ariejan 9y agoWhat kind of software/tools are you using? I'm curious to get into this as well.
- SirLJ 9y agofew VPS scattered around the world, python and the API from your stock broker... initial setup very cheap + a lot of time to develop and test...
- 1024core 9y agoWhy do you need VPS scattered around the world? And which broker do you use?
- SirLJ 9y agoEverything is automated and redundant... to start you can do it on your own laptop... I'll keep my broker secret for security reasons, but you can take a look at Interactive Brokers, their API looks pretty good... https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=5041 https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=5041
- 1024core 9y agoI'm just curious about which brokers offer APIs. I've thought about automating some stuff, but never seriously enough to explore brokers.
- dplgk 9y agoHow often are you trading? Largest barrier to success seems to be commission.
- OoooooooO 9y agoDo you use any sort of ML? I've wondered for some time now if one could train a bot with ML to trade with better results to humans due to patterns recognized with ML, so historic data = better results which fits ML quite nicely. But it's just a shower thought so far.
- openbasic 9y agoCare to share some source?
- SirLJ 9y agoWhat kind of source?
- thisisit 9y agoI can be wrong but I guess he means source to find strategies for the robot.
- SirLJ 9y agoPeople asking this question clearly do not understand the stock market and how it works... We are all competing in the same market, so why on earth, I should save you time and effort and give you this kind of info? Just think about it, would you go and give your secret sauce to your competitors?
- mistermann 9y ago> triple digits Is this referring to $ or %?
- SirLJ 9y agoLOL
- mistermann 9y agoLOL? An individual claiming automated trading resulting in >100% annual gains is a fairly extraordinary claim. Triple digits in $ is a hell of a lot easier to believe.
- SirLJ 9y agoDidn't you read what I wrote: making more money than highly qualified technical position... Of course it is extraordinary, that's why I am sharing... still few weeks to go, even if not over 100% it will be close and will be my best year so far...
- randomdata 9y ago> making more money than highly qualified technical position... The labour market has many inefficiencies and as a result can see huge variances by location. Highly qualified technical talent, where the supply of labour is lacking, can make a lot of money and highly qualified technical talent where labour is abundant, or where demand for that type of labour is virtually non-existant, might be lucky to make anything at all. Without more information, this means little. Highly qualified technical talent doesn't come with a pre-defined price. With respect to how much one might earn, "highly qualified technical talent" means absolutely nothing.
- SirLJ 9y agoif you are good enough, you can move around the world and make 6 figures USD for example...
