Welcome to a fascinating discussion with Brian from Quantlabs.net. Recorded on March 3rd, 2024, Brian provides an insightful overview of his current focus on high-frequency trading (HFT) and quantitative trading strategies. The conversation also covers the interaction of these strategies with TradingView, an accessible, low-cost platform offering access to future market-level data.   Get your free trading tech book pdf books2 – QUANTLABS.NET   Join our Discord for quant trading and programming news https://discord.gg/k29hRUXdk2 One of the key issues highlighted by Brian is TradingView's use of PineScript, a scripting language that can pose a barrier to people unfamiliar with coding. However, he points out that accessing and learning from the over 100,000 scripts available via this platform can be an invaluable resource for those willing to delve into it. He discloses that these scripts may be reverse-engineered and applied to a live trading system using higher-level languages like C++, Java or Python, feeding into his broader mission of providing an automated trading solution not currently offered by TradingView. Brian then delves into the world of automated trading, elaborating on why TradingView does not directly support this method of trading due to challenges associated with regional regulations. By contrast, he offers a solution that uses TradingView data alongside a Python listener to generate signals, allowing for automated trading via brokers or crypto exchanges not supported by TradingView.

Subsequently, he indicates that the focus of his YouTube channel, QuantLabs, will center on topics such as trading strategies, programming techniques, and integration with Python, TradingView, C++ or Java. Brian also outlines his current campaign to diversify his reach across various platforms, such as Substack and his new Python Django-based website, driven by his focus on achieving maximum returns through social media platforms and generating more email opt-ins. Lastly, he addresses potential concerns associated with YouTube and their censorship rules by signaling his intention to explore alternative platforms while continuing to use YouTube for specific aspects of his outreach.
