Here is a breadth of fresh air.
You have all seen my analog theremin work that I shared with dewster the first week he showed up at TW. Over the years many seem to have this impression I am against digital when that is not true. Analog and digital both have their proper place and application.
Twenty years ago I began my theremin journey but I also began writing a program in visual basic which rides on the back of an Excel Spreadsheet. Back then we were at the beginning of the dot com era.
I showed one engineer at TW how the stock market almost completely computer traded these days was revealing patterns of trade that could be captured by a computer program so you could write algorithms to almost win weekly. Because my program was in visual basic it seemed beneath him to explore it any further.
You think the stock market is controlled by big events, not most of the time... tomorrow is set up by computers today.
The theremin showed me special knowledge along the way and likewise so did the stock market. If you think I do not like digital view my Excel Spreadsheet copy. This is an image capture for today 8-16-19. I trade overnight and do not like to hold over the weekend, especially with Trump stirring things up. What digital is good at is storing and comparing numbers.
The entire sheet you see is reconstructed every time it automatically downloads the latest update. This way I can change the rules and see what happens. The program will alert me if it finds a good play.
The sheet is too complicated to figure out what is going on, but I will tell you one secret, the market peaks at 11 AM EST, that is when you want to get out for the maximum profit of the day. Of course there are exceptions.
All my funny code, maybe 15,000 lines of VB are hidden in the background, the spreadsheet is only shared with my family, because we are all doing the same thing we do not want to get in each other's way.
Why show people the computer code when they just want you to show them the money! With theremin’s forget trying to impress people with code as we just want to hear what it sounds like.
