QQ for everybody since OP is using IB API which is notoriously bad that many wrappers have been written for it (ib-insync). This is a general question, I'm wondering is there any good framework/wrappers out there that one can lear

The one thing I never understood about in tech, people talk about so much about TC but never about take-home pay (after taxes, housing cost, lifestyle cost etc). I have friends who work very boring jobs in the gov't or non-profits (who

Yea if there's a unsolicited take-away from me... don't ever become a lifer or think a company/field will never change. Nobody, even if it's GOOG circa 2010's, IBM circa 1970's, MSFT 1990's ever offer good

Yea I liked almost everybody in DSP. I disagree strongly however with the management's tech approach, the Broad cannot compete with the other companies in the Boston area in terms of comp. What worked in the past is smart people came t

Since my post was upvoted a tad... I'll give more feedback about the Broad. When I joined, it was running really like an academic center. Like literally in my lab, if I wanted to go into the lab and pipet and do library prep, the wet l

I just want to add my $0.02 to respond to the low pay and low respect as a Software Developer/Engineer in the genomics. This is 100% true and also not true [bear with me]... you get it back in the back end. First the comp, most people

Hmm as an ex-Broad employee (and now in another genomics center), what did you find really toxic about the Broad? FWIW, I really loved Broad the people, my direct line manager and co-workers. The management was horrible and the management a

I have a far less interesting and infinitely less daring story (but that is my response to the author's contention, "risk everything" and your question "why people are aghast"). When I was young in my mid 20's,

Just a great read. I'm commenting to bookmark the post and commentary for myself. Reading the room, I think I'm in the minority of those who think the author ('the last psychiatrist') is spot on about the psychosis of pe

To put it in finance terms, EV and ROI in banking is much higher than coding imho. (Matching banking comp at middle of bell curve, you have to go to the right tail of tech curve). Tech however has better EV in autonomy and intrinsic motivat

While I'm not a crypto trader, but this is the primary reason why most people who I know do algotrading uses IBKR (for equity/futures/options). IB API is still king and execution is the best in retail - no matter how ugly TWS

Just out of curiosity, how does one even custody 100M dollars in crypto markets? In equities/traditional trading anything above 8 figures allow you to have prime brokerage access (e.g., Archeogos). For the type of arb trading and yield

I've thought about and looked into this. I heard some brokers actually allow you to custody your bitcoins with them, so basically you're 100% hedged and have 0 margin hit when you execute this pair trade. Additionally, if you can

An honest question, understanding crypto and its true viability as a non-fiat currency or an anti-inflationary digital gold is simply above my pay-grade. I'm wondering if there are any smart plays out there to take advantage of the vol

This number has been cited often. This is not to be skeptical rather to crunch the claim: Suppose Rentech started with $50M AUM in 1994 (reasonable assumption for a small hedge fund); 50M * (1.718)^20 = 2.51 Trillion in 2014. What am I miss

Thanks for your critique! Your "over-optimization" comment (vs. presumably being more spontaneous and improvising as your travel or just in everyday life) is very valid. I will say that my original feeling is not even "squeez
