Think or Swim Scripting v2 #ToS

A new take on an old idea of using EMA (Exponential moving averages) to aide in making stock trading decisions. This is a new version of my previous script.

This strategy/study also makes some assumed long buy/sells (With a cap of $5K per trade) of the stock to provide a report of the performance based on the time period.

I still have not had the time to invest in trying to execute these in a timely manner, but always fun to speculate and run some hypothetical scenarios.

Inspired: Stephen Wolfram

I just came across a super cool implementation, and now inspiration, for all the data and insights I am collecting on my personal site. (NB. I am not suggesting my life is even remotely unique or insightful and valuable to science versus Wolframs).

I do hope that one day I can look back and quantify the memories, experiences and insights I had the opportunity to enjoy.

Apple Vision Pro – Quick Take

I recently got an Apple Vision Pro from work since we are currently doing some POC’s and innovation using the device. Overall, I am really impressed with the device. The eye tracking is definitively amazing and accurate, the experience is polished and the content is impressive. The “Guest” experience is solid (being able to turn it on, and pas the device to some else and get it setup).

There are a couple downsides, the weight is unbearable – I did a 30 minute fit at the Apple Store, and none of the cushions felt great for my narrow face. The other smaller downside, the app ecosystem just has not evolved sufficiently yet. The Apple Immersive Experiences are excellent, the Djay app is seriously awesome, but beyond that, we need to gain a bit more adoption before more killer consumer experiences emerge. read more
