Stage 2, day 3:
Today, I feel extreme fatigue. I feel like I need a lot of sleep. I remember that I felt like that in the first few days of Stage 1 and this feeling eventually went away. Or I might be fighting a small infection as my older daughter has one...
Beside, that small annoyance, here is what is interesting about my BASE stage 2 journey so far.
1. I did notice that when I was sharing my goal with others in my entourage, I'm used that it is received with some level of skepticism. Sometimes a lot and I'm being called a dreamer. I'm told that what I want to achieve is impossible and that I should settle for much less than that... Sometimes there is just a little bit of skepticism... it doesn't bother me at all but since the last few days, I feel like when I talk about my project, people are buying in and I succeed in convincing my audience into the feasibility of the plan.
That is a very welcome change. I enjoy it.
2. My shift that made me put the trend following strategy on hold to explore the arbitrage strategy may be in accordance to stage 2 script: "Only Compete Where Necessary & Use The Competition Or Lack Thereof To Your Advantage".
I feel like there is possibly less competition in the arbitrage scene than there is in the trend following arena. This of course has to be validated but I'm currently very excited to the idea of discovering an almost untapped field of opportunities.
If there is already competition in crypto arbitrage, then the name of the game is speed and scalability.
I'm maybe thinking too far ahead but right now, I have a pretty compact algorithm to calculate the value of a cycle... but it is a loop... and it contains evaluating conditional expressions...
If I had to modify that part of the code, I would need to sit down with some paper and a pen and figure out a way to do it with matrices.
If that was feasible... That would open up a lot of options. For one, there are specialized libraries that are very optimized for matrix operations... There is hardware (GPU) that can handle matrices with millions of elements in them and process them as fast as a CPU can do a simple arithmetic operation... but my linear algebra skills are very rusty.... I did prepare myself a small stack of linear algebra books from my university years in my bookshelf in preparation of having to go in that direction...
