No good at programming, but thanks to this forum made money today in trading. I can't offer programming, but stocks I'm not bad a swell as currencies and financial markets.
Just thought I'd help with in case you didn't know
The way to tell the USA economy the top 30 dow is not by looking at the top 30 but by a stock called the DIA
And in terms of hedging, the stock called DOG always goes opposite to the DIA.
Alot of people look at the USA dollar , but the USA dollar actually follows the DIA and the dog.
hope that helps
