As a side project, I decided to start writing a stock tracking program in Java. My goal is to try to make something that can catch memestock explosions and gradual increases in value as they start to happen.
As the program stands currently, I can add in an arbitrary number of stocks, the software will check their value/volume/etc at intervals, and record changes. My general idea is this:
>check stocks for triggers
>when a stock gets noticed (from a sudden increase in price over fifteen or so seconds, for example), 'buy' the stock and set a moving stop-loss that stays a bit underneath the maximum observed value
>if the stock dips down below the stop-loss 'sell' it
>???
>profit
It would just be a simulation, since I wouldn't have enough money to really day trade even if it ends up working, but still. It could be used as an alert for meme-explosions.
Help me figure out what indicators it should look for and I'll share the program if it works.

Nobody knows which indicators to look for. If someone found out, then they'd be filthy rich and they certainly wouldn't share.

>>b-b-but im the idea guy!
You're literally useless and essentially human garbage. Stock up on knee pads and never make a thread again.
>>1377104
you already have an indicator. unusual stock movement / volatility. Remember that you have to win 51% of the time minimum. Most of your work will be in fine tuning and debugging.
>>1377131
Uh huh. Sure.
>>1377119
I understand that there aren't guaranteed indicators, but I still think that it'd be possible to capitalize on the memes /biz/ shills if software could monitor them to weed out the shitty ones. Imagine what could have happened if a program like this had been trading MGT over the past few months.
>>1377139
Alright, guess I'll stick with that one for the time being.
>>1377119
Exactly this.
I'll give you all a hint. Learn integrals, or better yet, go all the way thru calc 3 and you'll learn the "magic".
>>1377154
That is absolutely disgusting. Pajeet tier levels of clutter, needless syntax, and indentation.
Kill yourself posthaste.
>>1377154
How to capitalize on /biz/ memes:
don't be retarded, don't listen to /biz/ memes, just be a smart investor.
If you truly insist upon capitalizing, then START the next /biz/ meme.
>>1377154
He's completely right.
Learn either one.
Programming and finance are two very difficult and different fields.
Just because you had an idea one day doesn't mean jack shit if you yourself can't do it. No one runs a business that buys ideas for a reason.
>>1377168
Listen to /biz memes. Why? because they move. Just don't listen to some retarded analisys and choose entry/exit point wisely.
>>1377179
when listening to /biz/ memes, I just don't see the potential returns outweighing the risk.
> don't listen to /biz/ memes
Yea, that's why I made about 2000$usd from MGT and a cool 750$usd (so far) from trumpcoin.
Shit, I've even made about 100$ from PutinCoin.
Just wait for TrumpCoin next week, it's gonna be slick.
>>1377169
I'm a programmer. I can implement any idea - I was curious what /biz/ would recommend looking for.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.
