Earlier quoted context omitted.

nice! do you have any explanation why those trading algorithms have had so great performance figures in the past but basically stayed flat (or negative) in 2023? i've observed this at a few others like velvetai and whitecloud capital and it seems your models show the same ( e.g. https://grizzlybulls.com/models/vix-ta-macro-advanced ) also, are you planning on adding automatic trade copying?

One thing to note is that if you are looking at the premium model charts, the last 20 trades will be hidden if you don't have the appropriate access tier so you could be missing the last 6+ months depending on which model you are looking at. 2023 has actually been a strong year for most models. The first half of 2022 was quite poor as several of the models had a structurally hard time adjusting to the new bear market…

thanks for the explanation, will definitely check it out.

> I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "automatic trade copying"

both providers i mentioned provide integration with "trade copier" systems that automatically trade according to their signals in their customers accounts at various brokers.

https://gorby.app - Just a word counting/text analyzing app. It started as a potential porfolio project and at some point I decided to turn it into something others could use too. I don't think it has any features that can't be found elsewhere, but I'd say it turned out pretty decent. I'm aware that it could look a bit better on mobile, so I plan to improve that.

If anyone would like to try "pro" features, please feel free to send me an email and I'll give you a code. Feedback is more than welcome! :)

I created adult entertainment apps to organize and have fun with images and videos: - RuGiVi: https://github.com/pronopython/rugivi - Browse your collection of images on an endless screen. Tested with more than 700.000 images at once! - Fapel System: https://github.com/pronopython/fapel-system - Organize your adult images and videos by just using hardlinks and directories. - TopZemen: https://github.com/pronopython/t…

I imagine there are more than a few photographers who would appreciate your first app to make it easier to browse their collections. To the extent you ever think of marketing it.

Good idea! You are right, of course RuGiVi can be used with any jpg file. I currently rework the whole coding mess it is right now so that afterwards it is more clean and then can handle videos (as still images / slide-show). Since this affects the file handler (currently jpg only, then also videos) I will write it in a way that one can add raw file support for camera files also!
