[Last Updated: 11/24/2024] In this post we’ll be calculating the probabilities and statistics of up days and down days. First, I’ll use daily S&P 500 (Ticker: SPY) data to obtain probabilities of up and down days. Next, we’re going to look at various other related topics such as: The Probability of Up and Down Days […]

I recently wrote an article on using Windows Task Manager to periodically run Python scripts. I currently have a couple scripts automated to run every day at 10:00PM using this method. Theoretically, you could use this method to update a Notion database. So in this post, I will cover how to use Python to generate […]

A Comprehensive Guide for Creating NumPy Arrays

Dom — Wed, 06 Mar 2024 10:42:03 +0000

NumPy (short for numerical Python) is a useful library for mathematics and data science, specifically for working with arrays of data. In this post I want to detail, with examples, some common ways to create NumPy arrays. These range from creating arrays with Python lists to using built-in NumPy commands for standard arrays (like ones […]

Working with TOML Files in Python

Dom — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 18:06:54 +0000

TOML files (Tom’s Obvious Minimal Language) are the brain-child of Mr. Tom Preston-Werner. They were developed as an alternative configuration file format that is easily readable by humans. The dictionary-like structure lends itself to usage with the Python programming language. In this article we’ll explore the basics of working with TOML files using Python. Specifically, […]
