The phases of coding are:
- Manually trade.
- Realize that you're missing times of good volatility.
- Attempt to trade at 0'dark:30.
- Realize that you're missing times of good liquidity.
- Attempt to trade at 0'dark:30.
- Sleep deprivation.
- Argue with your life partner.
- Look to automated trading as a solution.
- Attempt to code without any coding knowledge.
- Realize how difficult coding is.
- Refuse to read the code language documentation because it's too time consuming.
- Beg for help online.
- Get ignored online.
- Return to the 0'dark:30 manual strategy.
- Lose all but a pittance in the market.
- Your life partner leaves.
- Make sure your ex didn't take your trading device.
- Rearrange everything on your trading desk so that it's all perfectly parallel and perpendicular (self-treatment for anxiety).
- Spend what you have left on a well written coding book with code examples and an index.
- Codify your strategy.
- Your bot trades 24/5 subject to volatility and time filters.
- Your bot rebuilds your account.
- Your life partner returns.
- Realize that you're actually self-employed in your own small business.
“[A]s we know, there are known knowns—there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns—that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”—Donald Rumsfeld, 2002
