Seems that a lot of people are willing to spend a lot of money for robots or for programmers. But you can easily write a robot yourself and program your own trading strategies. No matter what programmers say, strategy programming is not difficult and quick to learn. The scripts are short and all the problems you usually run into with large scale programming won’t happen here.
Is anyone interested in a strategy programming course in C? You’ll need about 6 days to learn programming. I have already partially written such a course, here’s the curriculum:
Day 1: Variables. How to use numbers and text in a programming langage.
Day 2: Functions. How to tell the computer what to do with your data.
Day 3: Branches and Loops. How a program can make decisions.
Day 4: Trend Trading. Your first strategy - an unusual trend trading system with about 100% annual profit.
Day 5: Strategy Optimizing and Counter Trend Trading. More difficult and more lucrative: 200% annual profit.
Day 6: Portfolio Strategies. A robust compound system with money management for 400% annual profit.
Of course all this is free, I like free stuff and don’t want to sell something. Just let me know if someone is interested and I’ll start posting the lessons here. You can then test and trade all the examples with a free software.
how long have you been coding with C?
what makes this different from related and similar courses?
programming is a very tough skill to learn and improve. it requires high analytical skills, talent, and most importantly, experience.
it is too easy to say that one can ‘learn’ programming C in just 6 days.
not many are talented/experienced to make full use of what you will share in just 6 days, but at the very least, i hope they will learn a thing or two.
As to the first question, I can’t really remember.
As to the second, you can just judge yourself, the course is here: 301 Moved Permanently
I strongly disagree that programming requires “talent”. Anyone can learn it. How good they’ll be is a different question. You can indeed not learn full C programming in 6 days, but you can learn the C subset that you need for writing trade strategies.
I believe if we can master c enough to write trading strategies with Zorro that should be enough to foster a community on here which will lead to better things. I dont know of anyone else offering to teach algo programming for free
