What Do You Do During Covid-19

[FreedomGundam]

Instead we're having fun in this forum. What do you do during the quarantine period because of Covid-19?

Still working and planning for retirement

Trying to find a way to make money.

I am working at home a lot but also I started exercising, cooking, and learning driving theory. I always wanted to get a driving license but had not enough time. By the way, my friend recommended me a good online platform, it's a real find. I highly recommend it too https://www.easytheorytest.co.uk/practice-pcv-theory-test

Watched a lot of porn, started my day at 9 a.m. instead of 6 a.m. and didn't have to waste an hour to and from work each day. Why do we need to all go to a traditional office to work when we can do the same job from home? I mean, I could understand if you're in manufacturing, but if you work from a cubicle each day, would it be cheaper for the company to allow you to work from home and reduce traffic congestion during the fall and spring when parents are taking little Timmy to school?

quarantine? where?

We're going everywhere and even if officially one must wear masks in shops etc. nobody is controlling because the owners complained that customers are missing and the government does not get tax incomes if shops do not sell.

yes but if you work from home you practically rent your space for free to the company. You should obtain some sort of compensation in your salary for that.

And also for the means you need: internet, pc etc.

It does not matter if any of us already have one PC and internet. what we do in our private space and free time remains ours and if a company wants it then it must pay.

 

Pay attention not to be cheated by those who give you a job.

I'm pursuing the Impossible Dream: Writing a program to perform automated trading and turn my idle stash into a working asset.

It's turning out a lot like "mastering" poker was: The more you learn, the more you discover how much more there is to learn !

I'm actually at the point now of running simulations with historic trade data, using a rule based decision tree with calculated indicators, and iterating thru various parametric ranges of settings to try and "tune in" to a mix that consistently results in a net gain.

It's more challenging than it sounds, heh.

I've been waiting for court rulings like this one...

That almost describes what I am doing as well lol.

I found the hardest part was organising and keeping track of data related to each asset (hello graph db).

Just starting to program walk forward validation with my test results.

Good luck.

Thanks m8, same to you !

I'll start a new post on this project once I have some results to share, hopefully positive ones heh

I posted recently a piece on Quant Trading, I think you'd find it interesting too (as well as encouraging) - I was amazed to learn that some investment funds are using this to generate profits for their investors. It's very tempting to pursue "getting in on the action" that way as well lol.

Do check it out:

Thanks.

My results on initial testing are very encouraging

I missed that one. I will check it out.

Nothing special. I work from home so I have more free time now. I started working out and cooking. Also, I read books and watch movies. By the way, I found a great website that provides a list of the best streaming websites, it's really useful https://streamingsites.com

I have worked from home for the last 7 months. I appreciate that I still have a job so not complaining, but (always a but) I work harder and longer hours as my company has decided that cloud computing is more expensive, by a large amount, than On Prem Data centers using vmware or Hyper-v.

Its up to a team of mixed skills to get us back on Prem so that we don't need to make so many redundancies.

I'm work harder to keep others in a job. Fingers crossed.

Started investing in Staking coins. So I can have passive income. Waiting for a mini Xrp pump to atleast .40 then I can get more staking coins and live off them. 

Play video games and some sports and head to the beach etc..  Not working full time job and having lots of time,  needs a bit of learning so I can  chill full time!!
