Its 2009 -- Video Tutorials Best

Personally, I find visual learning the easiest.

 

I am just throwing out an idea --- what about creating a general traderslab coding forum channel on youtube with tutorials on various topics? I set up an account on youtube so there can be no excuses-- you can log in as

Like it, quick and easy to punch out vids these days. There will be lots of "oh wow, never thought he'd sound like that in RL" going on though :rofl:

I was struggling to learn Visual Basic (VBA) by myself (from books and written online turtorials) and then I got a DVD and suddenly it was easy --- watching someone else navigate the code editor and give pointers is the best way to learn, imo. and with youtube, its free -- Google is just eating losses to provide this service.

I started with VBA for excel, not VB, because I thought I could start to understand programming concepts in an environment I am familiar with and therefore make it easier. This was a good move that I would recommend as you can really see what is going on with the code clearly in that environment. The statement structures are near identical to VB. You can also apply basic Excel functions within the code editor when that is more efficient. These built-in functions are incredibly fast, even with large data sets -- much faster than writing loops longhand.

 

Basic Programming Comes Down to a Combination of:

 

Branching Statements: ie if/then

Looping Statements: ie, For x = 0 to 100

Array Manipulation

Variable combinations

 

These are all things you can learn to do in excel VBA and then once you 'get the concepts' -- move on. I struggled through some poorly written books on VBA and then this video showed what a good teacher can do....

    • Date: 27th November 2024. S&P500 at its 52nd new peak for 2024; USD Firmer, Kiwi & Yen Up. Asia & European Sessions: Wall Street rallied into the close with the S&P500 and Dow registering more record highs with the S&P500 climbing 0.57% to 6045, its 52nd new peak for 2024. The Dow rose 0.28% to 44,860.3 for its 46th record of the year. The NASDAQ advanced 0.63%. Trump named Jamieson Greer as the US Trade Representative and Kevin Hassett to direct the National Economic Council. Greer was intimately involved in Trump’s first-term trade policy decisions. President Biden announced Israel and Hezbollah have reached a cease fire. Over the next 60 days the Lebanese army and state security will take control of their own territory and Israel will gradually withdraw its forces. FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026. RBNZ cut its cash rate by 50 bps, yet the Kiwi gained as traders analyzed the central bank’s rate outlook and the governor’s remarks. Chinese government approved a 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) bond quota, enabling two state-owned asset managers to issue bonds for funding projects aimed at spurring economic growth. Today: US inflation and economic growth may provide clues to the Federal Reserve’s next policy move. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has dropped to currently 106.459. The Yen climbed with USDJPY pulling back to 151.82, while NZDUSD jumped to 0.5900 despite the RBNZ’s 50 bps rate cut. Oil prices stabilized at $68.84, with optimism over delayed OPEC+ output increases balancing the reduced geopolitical risk stemming from the ceasefire. Gold rebounds to 2653.54, with next Resistance at 2660-2664. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
