  • G-Man Pullback

    G-Man Pullback

    This will be (hopefully) the first of many strategy posts I write. My primary motivation for this is to keep track of strategies I know and/or thinking of executing trades on. The reason I call this the G-Man pullback is because I read it in “The Playbook” and GMan (Gilbert Mendez) teaches this strategy to…

    ORB on UPWK

    In “Day Trading for a Living”, Andrew Aziz talks about trading opening range breakouts (ORB) on 5 minutes, preferably 15 mins but not on 1 minute as it might be too volatile.

This is how I felt when I first got my 3D printer and started making (printing) things with it. You…

  • Gogland build expired (renamed to Goland)

    This confused me for a few minutes so I am writing this for those who have the same issue. Jetbrains renamed Gogland Goland. They also expired Gogland build. So you have to go to their site and download Goland and use that. Remove Gogland completely from your computer

  • Earn more by learning Go!

    According to this article a friend forwarded to me, software developers who learn Go, Python or Scala (along with tech like Apache Spark) have found it easier to find jobs with better salaries. Learning Scala caused the highest boost and in the second place was Go. Learning python is a bit subjective in terms of…

  • Golang: Testing HTTP requests

    Unit testing HTTP calls to external services is pretty easy in Go. Let’s say we have some code that makes HTTP requests like so: package something import ( “net/http” ) func SomeFunc(url) string { rs, _ := http.Get(url) defer rs.Body.Close() body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(rs) return string(body) } We can test if the request is made…
