you could use MS Paint, open the pic, and resize it to, say, 30%. That would result in approx.100k, probably small enough for an avatar.

What do you want a programmer for/to do?

What do you want a programmer for/to do?

Its either to resize a pic for an avatar or to put into a barrel in an abandoned bank...

Every bank is abandoned as the power is probably out!

MS Paint should've come with every Windows. If it's missing, you ought to find it in the MS Apps store. Or - shock-horror - do you try to work on an Apple toy? (Just kidding. I've touched an iPad myself and survived. )

As to setting your avatar, click on the word "Account" in the top right corner of the frame, between your name and "Log out". That's where you set up your persona including avatar, status messages etc. Give it a try.

no apple toys for me, whats an ipad?
ok got the avata changed, thanks for your help pixel.

 

[smallwolf]

there is plenty of free stuff to create an avatar, just google search for "convert image to avatar". one example is here...

Haha oh mate that avatar cracked me up, a literal photo taken of your screen with a chart on it and a nice big flash glare in the middle. You can use the "snipping tool" if you're on a recent version of Windows to take a screenshot of whatever you like(Google "how to use snipping tool windows" if you're unsure), or as mentioned above just do a Google Image search for "chart" or "trading", change the sizes to "Small" or type in an exact size and you'll get much better results.

 

[traderxxx]

yes you are wright , photo taken from my own chart on ib platform
much easier for me to do it that way.
waiting to see if we get a top at either 5788(again) or 5813
also whathing if we have a daily top OR bottom at 5725
for a good move.

 

[KAO]

Hey traderxxx - can you please provide some additional information on what you're trying to achieve?

Hi Kao,
wanting to find a programmer that's interested in teaming up with me
to trade the spi , im mostly doing everything with paper and calculator apart
from having some algarithims on excel.

are you a programmer in Adelaide?

 

[DeepState]

Ms KAO is seriously hard core. R-based coder with data sources flying in from Qandl and scrapes from anything with half decent data. She corrects the R-libraries in the public domain for cointegration identification. Tapped in to everything which moves in the world of algo trading. Background in the dark arts of bits and bytes with probablistic applications across a range of markets including those not in regulated financial exchanges. Adelaide is but one place she spends time in any given month. Absorbs books by the day. Rides 1200cc bikes for relaxation. Keeps her hair short not to waste time on combing in the morning. Workstation is a custom built quad-core 4.2GHz i7-6700k. That's even faster than a 1200cc bike.


I kid you not.

Do you have something to offer for access to these skills besides co-location?

 

[Trembling Hand]

R-based coder with data sources flying in from Qandl and ...

I haven't been there for a few months but are they taking the piss!!??

Alternative Data? hahaha very on trend!

 

[KAO]

Alternative Data? hahaha very on trend!

I've built a quantitative factor model that uses random forest / logistic regression to determine when to trade Arabica futures based on Quandl data on the length of hipster beards reported by underground, pop-up barber shops in Brunswick.

Pop the umbrella, it's raining Alpha.

Are the hipster beard lengths weighted by social ranking of the hipster? How do you normalize for alternate measurement techniques by said barber shops?

Data transparency please!
