[@georgesanchez8051]

Glad you're back. You fulfill a real underrated niche on KZbin of covering both the algorithmic trading + GPT ecosystem, but without all the usual grifting/clickbait. Pretty refreshing to see as someone who also does this stuff for a living.

[@frankie-vc6wi3gg1v]

As always, a great analysis. Newcomers often wonder if it's too late to invest in stocks and crypto, but the market is always unpredictable. Trading has more advantages than simply holding, so it's important to learn before diving in. Active trades are necessary to ride the market's waves. Thanks to Janice Legziel's program, I’ve been able to learn the whole concept of trading and increase my earnings through her daily trade signals and insights. I'm happy I joined the program.

[@Wesley3kb2sv9l]

I have a keen interest in broadening my understanding of the financial market. Could you please offer additional information to help me in this pursuit?

[@frankie-vc6wi3gg1v]

Janice Legziel's program is widely available online, kindly google her name.

[@mattdan5238]

Surprising to see her name mentioned here, she skillfully guided me through the entire trading concept and generously shared her daily trading pattern when I was just starting out. Undoubtedly, she is an expert in her field, and I wholeheartedly endorse her to anyone considering venturing into the market.

[@larryroyy469]

Her daily trade signals and advice are truly exceptional! Her unparalleled accuracy and perceptive market insights have helped me maximize my profits and minimize my losses...

[@ignacebanzenza8975]

It's great to see fellow traders benefiting from her expertise. With her help, I've built a well-diversified portfolio

First I'd like to thank you for the content you post. I am grateful for your guidance. I am building a trading bot for interactive brokers. I want to know is there any way to build the bot and host on web instead of Laptop? Another question is how can I place orders in multiple clients account? Please help me with the query

[@parttimelarry]

I have made a couple of videos on various Docker solutions hosted on Linode and also QuantConnect with Interactive Brokers. Perhaps I will create an updated deployment video.

[@yunxingliu8177]

Would be nice to host on web app and build the front end

[@quark_in_space]

An updated deployment video would be really nice! I was just watching again those videos as I now have some time to spend on building my trading bot.

[@space_games]

Thanks, it's very interesting library. But I can't find a way to change price precision that is displayed in the chart legend. When I write "chart.precision(6)", precision increases from 2 to 6 digits only at price scale, but in legend it still 2 digits. Do you know how to solve it?

[@SoulKing....]

Hello, I'm currently using the Chart class to plot a line chart for a time series data. However, I've encountered an issue when trying to plot a line that has gaps (i.e., discontinuous line). Here's a simplified version of my code: chart = Chart() bid1_line = chart.create_line('bid1_line', width=1, color='#FF0000') data = df[['time', 'bid1_line']].dropna() bid1_line.set(data) In my data, there are periods where 'bid1_line' is NaN, and I would like these periods to appear as gaps in the line chart. However, the current implementation seems to connect the points before and after the gap, creating the impression of a continuous line. I was wondering if there's a way to create a broken line chart using the Chart class? Thank you for your help.

[@Daniel-gj1dg]

As always, thank you so much! Are you able to do a similar video with Tradier's API? I know it's somewhat repetitive but your style of instruction is extremely helpful for relative Python newbies like me. Either way, thanks again.

[@maazshaikh5283]

is ib_insync free for use? because for fetching stock data (realtime or static) it is giving an error saying API subscription required.

Great video as always, Larry! Wouldn't alpaca api would be easier instead of IB? What are your thoughts on it?

Hey, Alpaca would work fine as well. I have covered that quite a bit already, their python package will return a dataframe as well.
