My name is Kevin and I am a profitable algo-trader.
I recently released an open-source copy-trader application which you may find interesting.
If you are interested in supporting my work or want to trade with me using my neural network signals, please watch this video and consider becoming a Patron at patreon.com/codingandcoffee or alternatively a Twitch subscriber.
Twitch's videos index for live stream highlights and clips is pretty weak, so I've decided to create a manual index of the content I have preserved demonstrating my insight and knowledge in the areas of Clojure, computer science, software engineering, entrepreneurship, etc. Please enjoy.
A number of my previously available videos give away too much of the proprietary implementation of how my trading system works. As a result, those videos are no longer available for viewing. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
I stream irregularly on Twitch.tv at twitch.tv/codingandcoffee pretty much exclusively weekdays during Stock Market hours.
