This is my first journal. I have been trading for over 10 years. However, life has gotten me away from trading for a bit. I wanted to start this journal in an attempt to hold myself accountable. I just started trading again last week. I have been trigger shy and I am missing a lot of entries. I am currently trading a mechanical strategy and an algo strategy. Generally, the mechanical strategy has numerous entries a day and the algo has one to two entries a day. I have decided to migrate my code to Python to utilize ML. I will eventually code the mechanical strategy in Python. I am currently learning Python. I am much more comfortable right now in the C languages, but, I am not a very good at those either.
I plan on posting regularly, but, I cannot promise anything. I will most likely post trade/system stats and an analysis of my psychology during trading.
I am trying to determine which library/framework I am going to learn next. I have narrowed it down to the below list. If anyone has experience using the following frameworks, I am interested in your feedback.
