I didnt express an opinion on the video. I expressed an opinion on trevor (of whom I've seen more than enough of his work). I did however explain why I would not be watching the video, not really the same thing.

@stux

@stux this one is for you.

@arteteco The thing is refresh rate may not guarantee flicker. The persistance of a picel between refresh depends alot on the type of monitor in question... The refresh rate just tells you the rate at which pixels update, it doesnt tell you if pixels go black between updates or if they do for how long. The underlying technology of the monitor you have will ultimately determine that andwill determine if adjusting the refresh rate can compensate (in the case where persistance is long enough to be corrected by faster refresh).

@gokulnc

@pthenq1 Thanks bumped it to 28.5% in the aftermarket with some volatility riding too

@tjemni@mstdn.social mostly stocks, though i do occasionally take out options if i feel a company is a really strong bet, have one of those out now.

I also do algorithmic trading, or sometimes combine the algorithm with my own suggestions to enhance returns. I havent tried the algo on futures yet but for ETFs and stocks it has performed astonishingly well so far. My 25% returns today would have been closer to 5% overall if i had just done a buy and hold by my algorithm tends to enhance my natural returns by atleast 4x in the tests I've used it for so far, and in backtesting it seems to prevent loss if i make a bad pick (not sure if that will carry over to real money yet as i havent had it on a stock i personally picked that saw major loss yet).

Man today has been an amazing day for me on day trading. 25% gains in a single day across my whole account.

@arteteco yea id be curious to hear.. those people all claim flurocent lights have the same problem, which makes sense as they have the same 60 hz flicker as a monitor would.

@arteteco the theory is that it is because monitors, particularly inexpensive ones, have a low enough refresh rate that it effects you and high enough you dont see it. Its basically a flicking light you cant tell is flickering, and thus causes the issue.

Everyone I know who has the complaint you are voicing claim that is the reason for it. They bought expensive monitors with really high refresh rates and claim its no longer an issue.

No idea if its true or not, just what I hear.

@arteteco A lot of people claim to have a similar issue as you. One quick probe to see if my theory as to why is correct...

Do you find you get a similar effect under commercial type lighting, specifically fluorescent tubes?

@stux by the way dont take my ripping on you too personally. Doesnt change the fact that your a friend and I dont think any less of you. Most people fall victim to the lies, its why racism was so prevelant in the first place, its easy to fool others into looking past it.

So yea, dont take my criticality personally. I honestly just never thought I'd see you actively campaign for someone who has one of the worst racist track records in modern history, so its just, shocking to see you make that choice is all, but your still cool.

@arteteco so it probably isnt about the internet or the content and more about the screen itself? Is it an issue if you just use a comptuer to watch movies?

@arteteco not me, but my career is a computer, i work with them differently than most, from the inside out... do you know where the cause of this is?

@gokulnc The benchmarks I do on my algo is on the TQQQ v. SQQQ swing specifically so i can rule out any influence from my stock selection bias.

@stux If the guy were a comedian or something that truly is entertainment and not propaganda I might agree with you. But the guy basically says funny things to get people to manipulate people. It works too, its a dangerous mix in my mind.

Like there is a way to do it and be respectable. John Stewart when he was doing the daily show is a great example. He had a clear left-lean but never lied like trevor to prop up the left or take down the right. He called everyone out on all their shit and didnt hesitate to show both sides, and do it in a way that keep liberals laughing (his audience was mostly liberal despite the straight shooting).

The sad part is trevor just has no integrity and uses his voice to manipulate his audience into half truths they parrot back and its a real problem here in america where the liberals have sadly become extremely toxic in everything they say and do and its getting worse.

Thankfully you being Dutch you might not be so easily swayed by the thick propaganda america is laying down lately, so not as concerning... Then again you did support a segregationist for president, so i dunno, maybe it has swayed you.

@gokulnc Sadly I cant offer up much detail on it. It makes me a lot of money and if i give away how it works I could loose that advantage should it get out to the general public.

Best I can do is tell you i can point it any stock and it tells me when to buy and sell and consistently increases my profits over buy and hold

@stux clicked this, saw it was trevor, closed it before he got more than two words out.

Not once has that man ever had an honest, unbiased opinion where he cared more about telling the truth than selling a narrative, not once.

Watch better stuff man :)

@gokulnc indeed, I tend to use the mode for basically any situation in which you need to weight a single-end bounded contiuous (or discretized for of a continuum) series.

To use your betting example since you cant bet less than 0 one might use the mode of a log-normal distribution to determine the bet amount that should receive the highest weight for consideration in an algorithm for playing a card game. since the mode of a log-normal is the peak and often the mode and mean are not at all near eachother on log-normal distribution as well as most single-end bounded distributions.

@gokulnc Welcome to the group, nice start :)
