LIfelong Learner here, in another life around Y2K, I was a software developer. Left that field to pursue “no money down” real estate and flipped about a dozen properties. Got caught over-leveraged and un-inspired in ‘08, having lost a bunch of properties from that event - that lead me to learn about liquidity.
I’ve been trading for a decade, did well, got into BTC & crypto, got rekted with NFTs - all discretionary. Avid student of the markets and have studied many different methodologies, learning about Options and Volatility rn, pretty dense stuff.
Looking to automate my backtesting and eventually bring a home-brew systematic trading model into production. Lately been coding in pinescript but have come across a stumbling block with no clear way forward. I’ve been intimidated in picking up yet another language but with what I want to accomplish it doesn’t seem like pinescript is the way. This has led me to python and jupyter notebooks.
Naturally curious, with a deep desire of sensemaking, loving the emergence of Ai/Gen rn and much of that training material is in jupyter notebooks as well.
So I’m taking the plunge!
Currently working through getting my environment working:
looking to #buildinpublic but just a reposter rn
