Shut up
Yeah that was uber gay
My single random tree learner is already performing better than buy and hold on my backtesting the same data that I trained it on. Incredible. 50% max profit on a potential 600% on perfect trading.
Blue lines indicate shorting, black lines are opening long positions. Commissions are $9.95 per trade and 0.05% price impact.
Ah yes backtesting.
There's still time to join me. If you're interested and want to make money we can both become quants
You should do forward testing
You mean test on data the model hasn't seen yet? Yea eventually. I am barely still getting it functioning. I haven't even added an ensemble... It's a single random tree I am testing on but am planning to build over 20-100 or whatever.
After that I'm gonna put it thru an optimizer to try to find the best parameters like window size for indicators, number of bags, leaf size etc... Basically just getting the most basic stuff done like having the metrics and charts created so I can more easily see how things are running.
This is also just simulating stock trading even tho my intent was to use it for options because modeling options pricing is something I haven't even wrapped my head around yet in terms of how to simulate that because idk if that data exists or if I'd have to pay an ass load for it.
Gotta get the most basic shit working then make it more complicated and optimize the code after. I'm glad shit is finally working.
What doing drugs into your 30s will do to a mf
Are you sober now? If I am not mistaken, did you use to be on stims?
heroin and yes sober for like 8 years
Congrats, if you don't even drink that's great. How'd you do it? Did you find god or icefrog?
Everyone has a vice. You had to have replaced your drug outlet with something else. Exercise, church, meditation, or like video games.
Life isn't worth living if you're not enjoying it and I don't enjoy life when I am totally sober because I become so bored, however I also recognize that my highest productivity and value comes when I am sober. When I am high, my brain doesn't really function in a structured or logical way. But it is fun. But it isn't good for being a professional. The amount of times I would go into a technical meeting and start spewing some fucking ■■■■■■■■ nonsense and nobody would question it because I was a senior engineer was hilarious but I also felt really guilty about going into work high because I was working remotely and it was so easy to smoke during breaks.
If I go back to work, I need to stop smoking weed so I basically need a job that requires me in the office because if I am left to my own devices I will become a degen and want to quit my work again as I get high and ponder on how pointless life is.
i don't drink or smoke weed and haven't in 8 years like i said, its real sobriety not gay ass shit that people do. as far as "replacing" heroin addiction with something else I don't think so, I play video games still, more than i should, but i always liked video games even before heroin. thinking you need some crutch in your life and justifying it to yourself "well everyone has vices" is just bad thinking and bad behavior, although all the things you listed are pretty healthy besides video games. i think finding a good balance in your life is important and just living a normal life getting past whatever romanticized and delusional ideas you have in your head surrounding drug/alcohol usage as being acceptable or normal behavior
drugs/alcohol also exacerbate already re tarded thinking that you have, i mean we're all re tarded in a lot of ways but when you start mixing in alcohol, weed, and other drugs you just turn full fucking re tard really fast but don't even realize it
like if you talk to dudes in their 30s who have been smoking weed daily since they were teenagers they're actually re tarded its wild how bad that shit can effect you long term, not to say they're bad people or anything but its like giving yourself a severe learning disability
You blame the weed but I think the weed isn't the factor they're just like that regardless of weed being in the picture or not.
