Challenges in manual execution of systems:

My long entry was at 29532 on spot. SL was at 29384.64. If price closed below 29384.64, I'd exit.

At around 10:54:58, the price was around 29381 and I hit exit.

The actual close was 29384.70. Image
I lost 138 points on Futures, closing looking at the price. I have to click on exit exactly around the 59th second mark for it to execute around or at next candle open.

Price rebounded 150 points from where I exited.

This is the difficult part about manual execution.
These kind of cases happen rarely, but they do happen, and skew the system results. In reality, I should be in the trade now. But I exited with a loss and sitting out.

This was completely my mistake, and was due to being unable to look at the exact closing price and executing.

If you want to switch career towards Data Science

1. Take the fast.ai bootcamp.
2. Also take the ods.ai program.
3. Immediately start spending 8-10 hours per day solving past kaggle problems.
4. Whatever competition is announced, take part in it
Slowly build your rank in Kaggle, and try to win competitions or finish in top 50-100 in the leaderboard in every competition. Not impossible.

Just mentioning these wins and ranking on your linkedin will get you interviews for analytics roles.
If you manage to become grandmaster, there will be no dearth of interview calls. There are firms that conduct competitions and offer interviews to the top 3 finishers. From Two Sigma, Google to Epic Research, Microsoft, many companies do that.

If you want to get in shape, there's only two programs you could consider and you won't need anything else, you could ignore every other fitness advice out there.

1. Stronglifts 5x5 - stronglifts.com/5x5/

Hands down the best program available for free, that actually works!
Stronglifts website has a nutrition section that is actually very helpful. You won't need to pay attention to any other advice out there. Strictly follow the rules they have laid out and you should be able to see drastic results in as little as 3-4 months.
2. Convict Conditioning - amazon.in/Convict-Condit…

- Calisthenics
- No need to go to gym
- Can work out from home/anywhere
- Get jacked with just the body weight
- Similar to how Navy Seals train

If you have experience/expertise in a topic and want to share/sell that in a book format,

- don't be half-assed
- don't put together a google docs file and export as pdf
- don't publish shoddy writing

Thread about how to publish a professional looking ebook πŸ‘‡
1. First step towards publishing your book is to work backwards.

- Outline the list of chapters you want your final book output to have.

- Add sub-topics to those chapters.

- Add a rough idea of content/examples you are thinking about in hints/bullet list format under those.
2. Google Docs is a great free software for shared editing, collaborative writing, etc. But it has its drawbacks. Many writers do use GDocs for writing, but if you want to do better and go professional, try better tools.

- Scrivener
- Ulysses
- Wavemaker
- Manuskript

If you work for a publicly listed company, and the company is doing well, max out your contribution for ESOPs, and negotiate hard for RSUs.

People who joined with me didn't even care about PYPL stock and didn't use 10% salary contribution to ESOPs.
For the first 3 years until 2017, PYPL was in a range of $30-45 (incl when it was eBay).

I maxed out my 10% contribution and also got RSUs.

My mistake was selling too early.

Those who maxed out, and held on, got an average price of $31-33. Look at PYPL today.
This is the case for FB, Amazon, Twitter, Uber employees also.

I advised a friend who works at Salesforce to load up on Uber, Salesforce, Amazon, Google, Disney, and Bitcoin (when it was <6k) in march lows.

Also advised friends in US to buy LEAPS.

Nobody listened. πŸ˜…
