Not at all the point I'm making. Real life example:
I had oil options contracts during the Iran/Iraq war. An Iraqi naval ship fired on an oil tanker coming from Iran. So what do you think happened?
The price of the oil contract (and underlying futures, of course) dropped like stones!
The reason given - the day after the drop, of course - is that investors now feel that now the large military powers will get involved and protect the oil traffic, thereby making things safer.
Now THAT is bullshit!

Ignoring the issue that President's role is to promote macro-economic benefits instead of spruiking individual companies. Y'know - that little ol' thing called the law (which I understand he's actually not subject to in this case: it's only for government employees. But still  )
Uh-oh. Politics alert! Run! Run away!

Should this thread not be in the soapbox?

Up until this point the thread has been exceptionally polite and apolitical.
I prefer to leave this and demonstrate we can actually be grown up and not angry. The thread hasn't blown up (apart from - I hate to say - your series of messages) so let's give everyone the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming the worst.
If it goes bad then it gets locked down.
cheers

Your crap belongs in the soapbox. Don't bring it into the lounge. I hear enough of this garbage at work already.

Not interested in talking to you either. You like to argue more than communicate.

Adventurous is the correct word.
If sentiment-analysis takes the wrong conclusion (which likelihood increases if one has to be cryptic because of a character-limit) the bot may be trading on the wrong side.

thanks for sharing I think I'll either be very rich or very broke with this gadget. Just like the weather, some day it x% predictable, some day it maybe, some day it not.

It would be interesting to see how this works over time - just as a simulation perhaps.

Soapbox man. This thread already started attracted those who can't resist being too political. Not you... but I'm sure people can figure it out.

It's about an automated bot - not meant to be a political thread. Unless you mean Trump's name cannot be mentioned here

I know exactly what you mean. In a mature world, we should be able to post your post all day long, smile, laugh and enjoy each other's company. But some people can't hear the T word without making it political, and CP isn't exactly knowing for maturity. It happened in this thread. It'll continue to happen.

JMMG!
Due to past misdemeanors, I am using MATLAB these days. In their standard libraries is a inputdlg function that lets you enter simple unvalidated values; very useful when there is no need for a complex form.
Now I simply wanted to be able to position it; in my case I wanted to place it above the control on the UI that called it. On their support pages are lots of people asking the same questions and their response - you can't!
You can, I wrote a replacement.

Totally forgot that the binary not in C is ~ and not !, which is the logical one. I was quite stunned when trying to negate the number 2 I got 0 as response.

That's one reason I prefer C# to C and VB - strong typing, so assigning a bool to an int gives an error, and vice versa.
You get an error on all of these:
bool b = true;
int i = 0;
i = b;
i = ~b;
i = !b;
i = !i;
b = i;
b = ~i;
b = !i;
b = ~b;
But not on these
b = !b;
i = ~i;

I would have preferred a single behaviour for "!", the binary one. I forgot of the very existance of ~
