ThinkOrSwim is avaible for Linux and there's also a web version. 

I love the interface personally, trading options is really really simple and fast which is all i'm concerned with. 

Furthermore their charting tools are excellent and include things like implied and historic volatility while charting platforms such as tradingview does not. Having said this, charting via tradingview is overall more user freindly. 

As for connection Python scripts, no. 

ThinkOrSwim uses ThinkScript and Tradiginview uses PineScript. 

Thanks, that sounds good. Is `ThinkScript` easy to use? Also, I thought that you used Tradingview for mostly plotting graphs, but are you using it for analysis, as well? That is, are you using PineScript for analysing and testing your strategies -- I thought you were using Ameritrade/ThinkOrSwim for that.

In this case, what do you use Python for?

This is wise, in the end it was all trail and error with me. 

I only just hit my stride the past month and all it took was for me to stop listening to others and just implement my own ideas based on my own knowledge. 

Let's wait a bit to see if it was a good decision or not :)

I've never used ThinkScript or PineScript but they seem easy enough, should be a piece of cake for anyone who programs for a living. 

I use Tradingview as my main charting tool during the actual trading day. Meaning when I trade during the day I am watching price changes on Tradingview and then swtiching to thinkorswom to make actual trades. I just like the chart set up more is all. 

For analysis I use tradingview again unless I am looking at volatility. 

This amounts to me having an idea and seeing how it has panned out over some period. 

If it looks fruitful I will take it to thinkorswim papertrading and test it to see if I can realistically trade it, if that is lucrative I will then trade it for real. 

I use Python for two things: 

(1) Basic calculations related to mean, mean drift, variance, and the probability of mean reversions given some indicator. 

    > In so far as my trading is currently concerned this is all I'm using python for

(2) Creating computational models for option valuation along with bringing ideas from physics and testing them in markets

    > I am not currently trading on this information but instead am interested in doing so in the future once they are tested

Alright, thanks Alice. So it sounds like you're mainly using the web interface, then. I'll see if I can get this thing to work, then. I wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything important.

I could set up a Mumble server for more discussion (I've stopped using discord due to privacy issues) for a more quick back-and-forth type of chat (at a later point), if you're willing. Not for any technical details, just top-level stuff. I prefer voice chat for stuff like this. Right now, I don't have anything. Yet.

That was a retarded gamble but it worked out, I am up

 Nice play, are you still in? Weakening on the RSI. 

I'm putting this here instead of Computational Models because I will actually be using this information in my trading strategy. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've computed the probability distributions for APPL that represents profitable RSI events. 

I am defining an RSI event as a moment in which the signal line on the RSI crosses above 70 or below 30 - so the classic methodology most users of the RSI utilize. 

I am assuming that all of these events are profitable merely because all observed crossings over the past 30 trading days has been profitable - this is likely not true for a larger sample size. 

The Y_axis represents the probability while x_axis is the events. 

I have three sets of events represented in this post:

Daily set of RSI events -> The total number of profitable RSI events that take place during a single trading day

Pre12 set of RSI events -> The total number of RSI events that take place between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM

Post12 set of RSI events -> The total number of RSI evens that take place between 12:00pm and 4:00 pm

The reason I'm interested in these three sets is because, 

(1) I want to know the probability of each number of daily RSI events so that I know my total number of probable events per day

(2) Volatility in the morning is different than the volatility of the second half of the day, hence the probability of an RSI event taking place and the number of those events from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm is different than those that take place from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Finally I know I don't label anything, I rarely do so sorry if that annoys you.

Daily RSI Events

μ = 34/5,  σ = sqrt(104/25)

Pre12 RSI Events

μ = 8/3,  σ = sqrt(28/45)

Post12 RSI Events 

μ = 61/15,  σ = sqrt(674/225)

All three graphed together

Blue -> Daily, Red -> Pre, Green -> Post

Whether it's really Legga or not is up to question. 

Why wouldn't he just log onto his main account? The guy has nothing to hide when it comes to what 'Legga' has done.
