I’ve been having some performance issues with what should be an amazingly easy problem. I want to output a string with 8000 1 or 0 values space separated. I want to do this for a few thousand rows. The data is very sparse. I originally used numpy.zeros() thinking this would give me a big list […]

A lot of other bloggers who are much more qualified than I am have been writing about their predictions for the markets in 2008. I’m going to as well, mostly so that at the end of the year I can look back and see if I was right or wrong. As I’m not as qualified […]

The 29er and 49er worlds are currently on in Melb (ok, technically Sorrento thoguh close enough). Without a boat I’m not there, and well even if I had a boat, I’m not sure that I would’ve been there anyway, sailing around in emerald fleet just doesn’t excite me very much.
So I’ve been checking the results […]

I’m a little late on the blog posting, though the Automated Trading Championships for 2007 finished just before christmas, I ended up 35th, which I’m actually fairly happy with, my main goal was to be profitable (which I was), and next year maybe I can work on a better EA.
I had a guy ask me […]
