Can I learn Python programming within 30 days?

 My boss gave me 30 days (not working days) to learn Python to transfer to Data Science team. What is the best approach to learn as much as possible?

Background: I’m working as DB and BI Developer and interested in joining Data Science team. Boss asked me to learn Python as much as possible and he will hold a test and interview after 30 days. Just to be clear - I’m not looking at Python web development.

In order to prepare for a position on a team you already work closely with, you should spend close to 100% of your time learning about their Python code, not “learning Python”.

However, for most data scientist positions, you won't be able to learn the required skills in 30 days. If the only thing separating data scientists from BI developers at your company is Python knowledge, they are BI developers who know Python.

Data science heavily involves statistics in most cases. You cannot learn applied statistics enough for those positions without investing a lot of time. If you spend 30 days learning a language and memorizing a few snippets of ”data science” code, and then start applying statistics, you will make many mistakes and you will have no way of knowing that you're making them. And if that's how your data science team is run, you may not want to be a part of it.

Daily analysis of major pairs for February 27, 2017

The EUR/JPY dived by over 180 pips last week, closing below the supply zone at 118.50 on Friday. There is a clean Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the 4-hour chart, and further dive is possible this week, which may take price towards the demand zones at 118.00, 117.50 and 116.50.

EUR/USD: The EUR/USD is in a short-term downtrend, though price made some weak bullish attempts on Thursday and Friday. The outlook on the market is bearish, and so, the recent bullish attempt happened in the context of a downtrend, which is a good opportunity to go short at better prices.

USD/CHF: The USD/CHF, which is in a short-term uptrend, pulled back Friday. The pullback could end up being a good opportunity to buy long at a better price. The market could still reach the support levels at 1.0100 and 1.0150 within the next several trading days.

GBP/USD: The bias on the Cable is essentially flat. The market has consolidated for about three week, oscillating between the accumulation territory at 1.2300 and the distribution territory at 1.2600. Price must go above that distribution territory or below the accumulation territory before the current neutral bias can be considered as over. There is going to be an end to the neutrality before the end of March.

USD/JPY: This pair moved sideways last week, and then trended downwards on Thursday and Friday, which has generated a “sell” signal in the market. The outlook is neutral in the medium-term and bearish in the short-term. Price is supposed to trend further downwards, but that does not rule out a possibility of a strong bullish breakout (which may also occur on other JPY pairs).

EUR/JPY: The EUR/JPY dived by over 180 pips last week, closing below the supply zone at 118.50 on Friday. There is a clean Bullish Confirmation Pattern in the 4-hour chart, and further dive is possible this week, which may take price towards the demand zones at 118.00, 117.50 and 116.50.

Weekly Trading Forecasts for Major Pairs (February 27 – March 2, 2017)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD

Dominant bias: Bearish

This pair went south last week, testing the support line at 1.0500, and then bouncing upwards on Thursday and Friday. The upwards bounce would turn out to be a good selling opportunity because price is expected to trend further downwards this week, reaching the support line at 1.0500 again and breaking it to the downside. The outlook on EURUSD (as well as other EUR pairs) is strongly bearish for this week and the month of March.   

USDCHF

Dominant bias: Bullish

There is a weak bullish signal on USDCHF. The signal is weak because price has moved upwards only by about 200 pips in the whole of February. There was an upwards movement last week, which pushed price briefly above the resistance level at 1.0100, before the correction that was witnessed in the last two trading days of the week. There is still a tendency for price to continue going upwards, as long as EURUSD journeys southwards.

GBPUSD

Dominant bias: Neutral

For at least, three weeks, Cable has been moving sideways, hence the neutral bias on the market. Price has only oscillated between the accumulation territory at 1.2350 and the distribution territory at 1.2600. There is a need for price to go above that distribution territory, staying above it; or below that accumulation territory, staying below it, before the neutral bias can be considered as being over. Until this happens, the bias would remain neutral. There is a possibility that GBP pairs would go considerably bearish in March, though they would make some attempt to rally around the end of that month.

USDJPY

Dominant bias: Neutral

This trading instrument is neutral in the medium-term and bearish in the short-term. Price consolidated last week, and then trended downwards on Thursday and Friday. This is an action that has led to a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the short-term, which may enable price to reach the demand levels at 111.50 and 111.000. This does not rule out a possibility of a rally, since some serious bullish effort is expected on most JPY pairs in March.  

EURJPY

Dominant bias: Bearish  

There is a strong bearish signal on this cross, which has moved downwards by 350 pips so far this month. The market went southwards 150 pips this week, closing below the supply zone at 118.50. The demand zones at 118.00 and 117.50 could also be tested this week. On the other hand, a serious weakness in Yen may cause price to jump upwards, which is something that would possibly happen in the March.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:

“A good plan will include a well-tested strategy, a trading method, or a setup. Having a positive expectation should allow you to have the confidence to start trading your plan.” – Andy Jordan

Annual Forecast on Twitter (2017)

Twitter shares (NYSE:TWTR) are far from being an attractive market right now. Price has been quite choppy in the last several months, and this kind of situation may continue.

The ADX period 14 is below the level 20, indicating trendlessness in the market. The DM- is above the DM+, showing that bears seem to have more stamina than bulls. The MACD, default parameters, has both its signal lines and histogram below the zero line. This could be a beginning of a downtrend that would eventually lead to a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market.

Twitter may later experience a rise in momentum this year, which would most probably, favor bears. So potential targets are located at the accumulation territories of 14.00, 12.00 and 10.00.

Annual Forecast on FTSE 250 (2017)

FTSE 250 stock (FTSE:MCX) is a bull market. In fact, price has been going upwards since December 2016, following the trendless and choppy market conditions that were witnessed in the months before December 2016.

Price is currently above the EMA 21, which has been sloping upwards since December, supporting a clean bullish outlook on the market. The Williams’ % Range period 20 is in the overbought region, showing that the bullish movement is strong.

There may be some transitory pullbacks on FTSE 250 this year, but overall price movement would be bullish. Price is expected to breach more and more resistance levels to the upside in the long run.

Daily analysis of major pairs for February 20, 2017

 The EUR/JPY consolidated from Monday to Thursday and then broke out to the downside on Friday. Price closed below the supply zone at 120.00 on Friday, after generating a bearish signal, which may continue to hold out this week. 

EUR/USD: The EUR/USD went downwards from Monday till Wednesday and later bounced upwards. The upwards bounce could be seen as a good opportunity to go short, although a movement above the resistance line at 1.0750 would threaten the bearish outlook. Right now, price seems to be going south, and further southward movement would bring more emphasis on the bearish outlook.

USD/CHF: Here, it can be seen that the psychological level at 1.0000 has become insignificant because price just goes above and below it at will, while the level offers little resistance to that play. Price went below the level at 1.0000 on Thursday and then went above it on Friday. One would need to wait to see what price would do today.

GBP/USD: The GBP/USD moved sideways throughout last week. However, there would soon be a serious breakout in the market, which would most probably push it to the downside, as the outlook on GBP pairs remains bearish for February. Bullish attempts should be approached with caution here.

USD/JPY: This pair also went upwards from Monday to Wednesday, and then got corrected downwards. The downward correction remains in place; and should it go further downwards, it would generate a bearish signal (which may become particularly strong once price goes below the supply level at 112.50).

EUR/JPY: The EUR/JPY consolidated from Monday to Thursday and then broke out to the downside on Friday. Price closed below the supply zone at 120.00 on Friday, after generating a bearish signal, which may continue to hold out this week.

Weekly Trading Forecasts on Major Pairs (February 20 - 24, 2017)

Here’s the market outlook for the week:

EURUSD

Dominant bias: Bearish

From Monday to Wednesday, this pair went downwards, moving below briefly below the support line at 1.0550. Price then rallied above the resistance line at 1.0650, before getting corrected lower on Friday. The outlook on the market is bearish, and further bearish movement is expected this week, as price targets the support lines at 1.0550 (which was tested last week), 1.0500 and 1.0450. 

USDCHF

Dominant bias: Bearish

Oddly enough, the current outlook on USDCHF is bearish, just like the outlook on EURUSD. One of the reasons behind this is occasional bouts of stamina in CHF, which sometimes put checks on USDCHF bullish ambitions. The market level at 1.0000 has now become insignificant, since price just goes above and below it at will. For example, price went below it on February 16, only to go above it on February 17. Only a very strong bearish plunge on EURUSD would help push USDCHF upwards considerably.

GBPUSD

Dominant bias: Neutral

GBPUSD has been moving sideways for at least, two weeks. The market did nothing noteworthy last week. This directionless movement would soon end, and a strong momentum would rise, pushing price in a clear direction. A closer look at the market shows that bears’ hands are currently stronger than bulls’ hands, and following the ongoing impasse, price could plunge southwards. The outlook on GBP pairs remains bearish.

USDJPY

Dominant bias: Bearish

In the context of a downtrend, price moved upwards from February 9 – 15, and then began to pull back from that day. On February 17, price closed below the demand level at 113.000, leading to a Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market. The targets for this week are the demand levels at 112.50, 112.00 and 111.50. This, however, does not rule out a possibility of a strong rally before the end of the month.  

EURJPY

Dominant bias: Bearish  

This cross is bearish in the long-term and neutral in the short-term. The market consolidated from Monday to Friday and then started moving downwards as it plunged by over 120 pips that day. This is in agreement with the southward movement that was started in the beginning of this month; plus further southward movement is possible. On the other hand, a possibility of a serious rally still remains… on JPY pairs.

This forecast is concluded with the quote below:

“For some traders, commitment to success is not optional but mandatory.” – Joe Ross

In Trading, What Can Be Measured Can Be Managed

I was having a catch up with my good mate and uber cool pad holder Jarrod yesterday – we both share a fascination with human performance. We are both interested in what we can get out of the machine we wander around in all day. As part of this quest he had recently been to see a dietitian who works with several AFL clubs and during the conversation they mentioned that as part of their regime they didn’t count calories. We both thought this was odd for the simple reason that without data you are operating in a vacuum, without knowledge about your calorie intake and in particular your intake of various macro nutrients you are simply guessing. And guessing simply doesn’t count when it come to assessing change.

The point here is obvious, if you are not in some way tracking the performance of your trading then you have no means by which to judge your performance. Without having a series of metrics that tell you how you are doing  then you are also operating in a state of ignorance and in many cases delusion. I understand that some people dont want to track their system since this would defeat the entertainment component of trading. Knowing how badly you are doing would take the fun out of it. The same is true for people who struggle with their weight – they dont want to know how badly they are doing. Ignorance is bliss.

Performance tracking does not have to be complex – it only needs to tell you a simple story, how many trades did you get wrong, how many did you get right, what is your average profit/loss per trade and do you have more money at the end of the year than at the beginning. All this can be achieved in a spreadsheet with a little bit of playing around.

I’d like to end this article with some quotes:

“Be careful! It doesn't matter how good you are, if you don't use proper risk management you will fail.” - Jarratt Davis 

“Having a diversified system does help but it does still make you wary of taking the next trade. But it always seems to be the next trade that you don’t take that turns things around.” – Chris Tate

Which Life Lesson Did You Learn Too Late In Your Life?

When I flunked in my IPCC exams, there was no one to cure my pain with their understanding.

When I was struggling with my internship search, there was no helping hand to ease my trouble.

When my relationship was going through a rough phase, there was no one to lend me a “listening ear” for healing my inner turmoil that had gripped my heart to the core.

I thought and thought. They were unaware of my sulking.

I cried and cried. They were unaware of my tears.

I shouted and mourn. My noise was inaudible to them.

But the same folks perfectly marked their presence during some favorable events of my life (Birthdays, getting through an exam etc.) with an outright demand of massive celebrations.

It was confusing. It was unfair. It made me sad.

No one is really interested in listening to your miseries. They are ready to welcome your sunny face but are unwilling to accept your puffy sorrow laden eyes. The moment you start unfurling your true self by placing your trust in them, they will tend to evaporate like a vapor, leaving their true colors behind.

You are all alone. No one will come to your rescue when your poo will be in deep danger. You need to pick your broken pieces, mend them with your experiences and move forward no matter what.

Expecting others to do good to you just because you were nice to them is like expecting a lion not to eat you because you didn’t eat him.

Expectations bring disappointment. Solitude is your true companion. At the end, you have the power to be normal. Again.

The lesson I have learned too late in life.

She topped the class. Oh, she is gifted with intelligence.

He secured an All India Rank. Oh, he is a child prodigy.

He was successful in landing a lucrative job. Oh, he must be having some good references.

She has got ’n’ number of followers on Quora. Yes, she is bestowed with great writing skills.

Oh, she looks so pretty. Yeah, she is blessed with flawless skin.

He has got recognition for his soul soothing art. Yeah, he has inherited the unique artistic skills from his Dad.

The above presumptions were the pure outcomes of my barren brain. Yeah, I always used to believe that “success” of any individual is directly proportional to the power of his/her supporting “Luck”.

But, sooner or later I realized that I was so damn wrong.

It takes a hell lot of hardwork, sheer dedication and consistent amount of striving to reach the pinnacle of your life. It is easy to adorn the presence of luck but it is hard to acknowledge the story of scars concealed behind the veil of “success”.

She topped the class. Because she toiled hard.

He secured an All India Rank. Because he toiled hard.

He was successful in landing a lucrative job. Because he toiled hard.

She has got ’n’ number of followers on Quora. Because she toiled hard.

Oh, she looks so pretty. Because she toiled hard.

He has got recognition for his soul soothing art. Because he toiled hard.

An overnight success is an amalgamation of arduous failed attempts of numerous sleepless nights which are invisible to these judgmental eyes.

Try to look beyond..!!

Annual Forecast on Yahoo! (2017)

Yahoo! stock (NASDAQ:YHOO) has been in an uptrend since the beginning of this year. Price trudged south in the last few months of 2016, but that trend is now being reversed.

Price went above the upper Trendline in January 2017, and it has continue going upward since then. The RSI period 14 is above the level 70. This shows a strong uptrend in the market.

While there may be temporary bearish retracements on Yahoo!, the overall movement for 2017 would be bullish as more and more important resistance levels are breached to the upside.
