Another proposal

From Zero to Forex Trading Bot Hero with Node.js and Typescript

Talk description

During this talk, you will discover Daniele's journey building a trading bot. From building a basic prototype in Typescript to using functional programming techniques to trade autonomously across multiple foreign exchanges and generate thousands of dollars in revenue.

By the end of the talk you will learn:

• the basics of financial trading platforms from a developer's perspective (APIs/concepts/terminology)
• how you can use the skills you've gained building full stack applications to write trading software
• how static typing and Typescript can speed up your workflow
• how functional programming can help you refine your trading algorithms and verify the correctness of your program

Bio
Daniele Polencic is a technical consultant for learnk8s.io and certified training partner for Kubernetes and the Linux Foundation. Daniele is a passionate proponent for Javascript programming, and consults with startups when he is not coding himself.

Duration: 40 min

Hi, any news about time and place of this month meetup ?
Thanks

[ongmin]

@lisaMartini Hi! I haven't confirmed the logistics yet but will update once I have it! The meetup dates are all on the README.md for this repo, RSVP opens on meetup usually 5-7 days before the meetup. :) I didn't post the usual summary cause this thread was created already, so I assumed everyone knows what to do. Otherwise usually I initiate a starting post with a summary of the information. I'll add it on.

Hi Lisa and Daniele, really interesting and comprehensive topics, thanks for suggesting them! :)
We're confirmed: https://www.meetup.com/Singapore-JS/events/260340759/

In the interest of maintaining attention spans, I would recommend we explicitly partition out time for Q&As:
@lisaMartini, lets split the duration to 25 mins presentation + 5 mins Q&A?
@danielepolencic lets split the duration to 30 mins presentation + 10 mins Q&A?

Let me know what you think. :)

Looking forward to these two talks!
