You will find what you're looking for in NinjaTrader, it has a professional C# scripting/programming environment where you can implement whatever you want as long as you have the skill to write it in code. They also have a strategy-wizard which allows you to do the same with a point&click-interface which is for people who have no clue about C# but obviously this wizard is limited. Other than that it is just about as good/complex as TradeStation for example.

The way their pricing works: the platform is for free with end-of-day data and originally designed as a powerful charting software. But they also implement a wide range of brokers such that you can connect to your broker and then trade through NinjaTrader directly. These trades are then combined with commission/fees for NinjaTrader (see website for more info on pricing). You can play around with the end-of-day data as much as you like and you're free to use whatever the software offers (C# scripting, backtesting, etc.). You can also create a demo account at FXCM (which is what I did) to receive live intraday-push data for CFDs and forex for free, and then subsequently develop your intraday scripting/algorithms for free based on that data.I have checked out quite a few platforms over the years but NinjaTrader so far was the best, and it gives you full access to algo-development and up to tick/1sec-intraday-push data (CFD, forex) for free, so you can play around with that until you feel confident to start paying real money for another data-feed if you need to. MetaTrader, TradeStation, NinjaTrader and InteractiveBrokers APIs are actually one of the few ways to implement algo-trading at all as far as I know (not every broker support automation).

The fuck?

Do I have to pay the other sites to trade or what?

Buy VOO

Trading is retarded

Just look at your daily activities or activities other people do and see how you can make something better, improve upon it or more efficient

That's how uber, gopro, airbnb seem to have been made

You have to be irritated by stuff and a DIY guy.

I always look at how a service sucks and what I would do to make it better.

I develop websites so I know what is practical and what's not.

If you can't dev then you need money. I tried selling ideas to Colgate and they just stole one because I didnt have the 3 grand for a patent.

I really think being a good idea guy is being able to sit on your idea for a few months to see if it's still a good idea.

Business are easy. Basically what it boils down to is selling goods or services. There are 5 basic ways to have a successful business.

>1.You have goods or services that other people want that nobody else sells (new invention/idea).
>2. You have goods or services that other people want that other people sell but you offer it cheaper or better (undercutting the market).
>3. You have goods or services that other people want that other people sell cheaper or better but you convince them yours is better (branding).
4. You have goods or services that other people want that other people sell but you find a way to sell it through a location or means that other people haven't (niche).
>5. You have goods or services that other people don't want but you convince them they do want it (marketing).

There are none. 10% will always be associated with high risk investments.

You can do P2P Lending, but the taxes kill the returns.

RE notes get around ten to twelve percent

I'll look up the taxes for P2P lending in my country, good idea. thanks
What are RE notes?

Bumping for interest.

Maybe some shit on fiverr or stuff like that?

>>1169512
I'd prefer to work on my own stuff if possible.

>>1169105
...ok

I find it funny how every year they talk about how some movie set a record at the box office
it's not really impressive when it's due to inflation

>>1169112
Star Wars is still the 3rd highest grossing film even adjusting for inflation. Titanic and Avatar are also up there. The infrastructure for movie sales is just a lot more developed than even 30 years ago. It's still interesting that the highest grossing movie of all time (inflation adjusted) is Gone with the Wind, though.

But... what does this all have to do with business and finance? What's the angle here?

>>1169041
More.

I make 300k straight out of college, and can barely get by. You should definitely aim for at least 500k.

>>1169051
this
500k will cut you out for the basics, if you want a little spare cash aim for around 750-875k

the problem isn't sjws it's that too many people are in it now because it's simplified by shit like unity

I hear that over 500 new games hit the app stores every day. hard to make it as a small time dev in that environment

if you're thinking of working for a bigger company they'll treat you like shit because everyone wants to work in vidya

I'd say its a good idea if you're not involved in it for the wrong reasons and are beyond that neckbeard gap.

Its a billion dollar industry, and you have loads of platforms and various engines to fall back onto creation and development. Assuming you want to make and sell your own games, it can be a pretty spiffy return if you succeed. However, the market is saturated with non cooperate games and it can be hard to make something stand out. Undertale, which was made in arguably the worst engine I've ever used (game-maker) managed to reap in about 3.9 million between the year of 2015-2016 according to steamspy. I can only imagine how much that five night's at freddy's owner made between five games now.

As far as general game development goes Writing, Art, Music Composition, Programming are the main grounds needed to be covered. Non development grounds required are Accounting, Marketing, and then finding a legal firm to copyright/patent/ect your works. Eventually public service representatives down the line if you manage to go cooperate.

Considering there is hundreds of game reviewers/players/general other review medias all over the web now you have a pretty good amount of options in marketing said game today if you shoot them some emails and messages.

You're right on the marker about feminism and left wing pandering being a common theme in this industry, but thats mainly directed in the indie game scene. The group of nobodies and special snowflakes who think they're going to be the new-age faces of video games and make ground breaking innovations when they can't even handle facts and being disagreed with. This media is tackled by them because its easier to prey on impressionable young adults, teens, and children because thats the majority in age groups that plays video games. If you keep your head out of the political side and focus on making good games, you're likely to get the positive attention you would want.

>>1169054
Thanks for the response bro, do you have experience in the industry?

If I go into it I'd try to avoid the neckbeard fantasy shit

Check out arcadeclub in UK...

It's a power thing. Just like in Poker, much of your power position depends upon what your opposite _thinks_ you have. If he exactly knows your stats, you become predictable, even if you have more than him. And when you're predictable, you can be defeated.
