So, I have been doing a lot of research regarding setting up trading bots and algorithmic trading.
I have seen a few times, mentioned mostly in random forum posts, that javascript should be avoided for financial applications, due to floating point numbers. The responses would rather suggest the use of Python, or C++ for trading bot.
My question is, has javascript evolved to now be able to handle floating point numbers? (which i think are decimals?)
If not, how does Gekko work around this?
Thanks in advance, this topic has got me interested more than anything else has in my 23 years of life.
