The goal isn't to build a practical SQLite interface in Brainfuck.
It's more of a systems experiment: how far can an extremely minimal language be pushed when you combine it with the primitives available in a Unix-like OS.
Brainfuck makes the constraints very obvious. Once the language gets out of the way, the interesting part becomes the surrounding system: pipes, files, and formats like SQLite's B-tree structure.
On the laptop you need:
- low weight so you can easily take it with you to work elsewhere
- excellent screen/GPU
- multiple large connected screens
- plenty of memory
- great keyboard/pointer device
Also: great chair
Frankly, what would be really great is a Mac Vision Pro fully customised as a workstation.
We will be backtesting and deploying an algorithmic trading strategy in a live environment. We'll see how it performs and discuss the steps one can take to improve its performance.
Due to the limited duration of the event, the strategy showcased will use basic ideas in mathematics and technical analysis. We'll be using the Python libraries scipy and talib.
This workshop will be the first part of a larger series, and should appeal to anyone who has an interest in developing automated trading strategies. It would be helpful if you have programming experience, otherwise some aspects of the workshop will be harder to follow.
Join us for a webinar with Portofino Technologies, where we will be conducting a live Q&A session on how to secure a job offer at a top High Frequency Trading firm.
