@whizbang Ohh… those are neat. I have some shopping to do!

@Jezibaba I like Java better so I'll probably stick with it for hobby projects like that. NodeJS pays the bills these days though. :)

@Jezibaba NodeJS is pretty popular these days too. I've been a software engineer writing Java for 20 years so that's why I went with it for my bot. Nowadays at work I do some of both.

@Jezibaba I learned how to do this in college 15ish years ago on a forex site called OANDA. I still use them and would recommend them. They have a game mode and allow trades as small as $1. Crypto trading turned out to be very similar to forex so what I knew translated well when crypto exchanges started to pop up. For crypto I'd probably recommend Kraken.

@Jezibaba I wrote mine in Java, but it hasn't been updated in awhile. The strategy it uses relies on being able to short, and US regulations currently prevent that so I'm kind of dead in the water for the time being.

@Jezibaba A lot of the crypto brokers have "game" modes with fake money so you can learn to trade. They almost all allow you to trade very small amounts too, which is different from stocks. You can put $50 in and make small trades without risking anything beyond your original $50. You aren't going to get rich that way but you won't lose big either.

@Jezibaba I think you're talking about paper trading? Where you analyze the data and pretend to trade but never submit a real order? Almost every bot I've seen has a mode like that so you can test your theory and see what your results would be like, including the one I wrote.

@Museek We were in Honolulu. Just a nice chill week at the beach with the family. 😎

@Museek It’s delicious, is what it is. Just got back from Hawaii a couple weeks ago. Ready to go back already.

@SigTL Yeah, I subscribed on patreon to get rid of the ads (and to support my favorite podcast) and got access to them that way. They’re worth a listen if you get the chance.

@Harry44 Welcome to CoSo! We’re mostly not angry although everyone is pretty bent out of shape about the recent SCOTUS news. We’re usually more cheerful than this.

Be sure to check out for answers to any questions you may have. Or just ask and folks will definitely help you out.

@kaysavetz CoSo removes the metadata from the image to preserve your anonymity but in the process it can remove data that says which way to orient the image. Basically your image is stored sideways but it has an instruction in it to tell viewers to rotate it, and CoSo takes that instruction out.

To fix it, generally all you need to do is open the image in any image editor, make sure it’s rotated how you want, and save it.

@SigTL I had to go look it up. Turns out it’s bonus episode 4. I had forgotten that I listened to any of the bonus episodes, lol.

@SigTL I’m a big fan of his show. The episode with his dad was unexpectedly one of my favorites.
