Luck/timing worked out that a buddy wanted to rent my current house (for 2 yesrs) as I was about to buy the duplex. 8 years later, they're both rentals for me. Very fortunate to have been able to make it work...better lucky than good!
Dabbled in the market stuff a few years ago, fun but I just didn't find the right niche. Starting think about trying it again. Whats platform do you use?
I just switched to TradeStation. It is the best move I’ve ever made. They use Easylanguage, for their programming. It’s easy to learn after a 5 hour online course. I used to use Ninjatrader as an interface to my broker. It was good but if I ever had an idea for an automated system, I had to hire a programmer, pay money, and hope that it was profitable. TradeStation is an all in one broker, platform that’s easy to use.
