In most of the work I do, the ability to easily plot data in Python is a major determinate when choosing a programming language for a project. A while back I was looking into what it would take to replace my Python machine learning workflow with C++ tools. Unfortunately, there…
The Taylor series of a function is an infinite sum of terms that uses information about the derivative of the function to create a polynomial that approximates the function. More accurate approximations can be determined by taking higher-order derivatives and using higher degree polynomials. Many posts about the Taylor series…
Recently I’ve been reading Benoit Mandelbrot’s book The (Mis)Behavior of Markets: A Fractal View of Financial Turbulence (this is an affiliate link for Amazon, if a purchase is made via this link I will receive a portion of the proceeds).

A link for those who don’t want my opinion but are interested in the site’s demo.
I’ve recently launched a platform to enable efficient fundamental research on thousands of different publicly traded companies worldwide. Initially, I was going to provide this service for free but after finding out how expensive…
Material UI’s Autocomplete is a useful tool when providing users of your application the ability to select options from a list of values. For example, if you’re application deals with the stock market, an Autocomplete component could allow the user to type the name/ticker of a stock while the component…
In a previous post, I wrote about a genetic algorithm (GA) whose goal is to find stocks that could potentially create a promising put-selling portfolio. Currently, the GA searches through stocks that offer weekly options and tries to build a portfolio with three objectives:
- Maximize the premium earned when selling…
Some years ago my wife bought me a few (6) Raspberry Pi 3 B+ single board computers for Christmas so that I could experiment with creating and managing clusters of computers (it’s what I’d asked for). Since then, I’ve discovered better ways to do high-performance computing with a few higher-end…
In a previous post, I wrote about finding undervalued sectors in the stock market by determining the divergence of the sector from some representation of the market itself. This post was intended to be a starting point for an investor to determine which sectors (or which stocks belonging to a…
