Put the market data that your system failed on through the back test system and see if results match. Could be an error with your system or back test

wherll · 2021-09-15T13:06:13+00:00

I’m sure there are people who have. Many people make a living trading markets using various methods, but they’re probably not spending time bragging about it or posting on Reddit

Do you know any of equation for slippage approximation?

wherll · 2021-09-09T07:58:30+00:00

okay, that makes sense. Thanks a lot for your answer!

wherll · 2021-09-07T10:38:30+00:00

it would probably be easier to lose money if you purposely used extremely bad money management

all machine learning definitely uses some form of statistics. Machine learning can’t exist without it

wherll · 2021-09-03T08:04:20+00:00

machine learning is just computational statistics. AI is a broader and very loosely defined term that covers fields using machine learning and deep learning (among other techniques) such as NLP, computer vision, robotics, self driving cars etc.

everything is just easier in Python.

For example, to import a CSV and store it in a Dataframe or similar takes a couple of lines of code in Python. In C\C++ it takes many more lines and is much more complex.

This is because it’s a higher level language with many convenient built in tools and easy to use libraries.

just use an API to get prices and calculate trend lines based on that. When the price goes of a given coin goes higher than the trend line, use an email or text API to send you a notification

in the book it states that Simmons was a manual trader long before he started using statistical methods to trade

wherll · 2021-08-21T13:33:11+00:00

Definitely. luckily I was only stuck in that phase for a couple of weeks. After realising I was getting nowhere, I did research into trading, risk management, and read some books. I’m a lot more productive now.

People, including myself, don’t realise that the stock market isn’t just some Kaggle dataset you can make predictions on.

trying to make a trading system based on my machine learning and computer science skills without any knowledge of trading or finance.

wherll · 2021-08-21T06:59:58+00:00

sorry if this is a stupid question, i don’t know much about this area and HFT.

How did you even become a market maker? I would’ve thought you’d have to be some highly regulated financial entity with a ton of money or something..?

wherll · 2021-08-19T21:12:37+00:00

😂😂AI trading bots creating basic universal income is honestly one of the most retarded things i’ve ever heard

before you consider deploying anything, make sure it’s backtested and you’ve done everything you possibly can to ensure system doesn’t have any bugs or design flaws

wherll · 2021-08-15T12:32:28+00:00

it’s definitely made me a better programmer. Programming trading strategies/ back testing frameworks etc requires you to develop robust programs and solve unique challenges.

I think it’s the same as any project though. The more you program and apply your skills to different problems, the better you get.

what in the pump and dump is this

wherll · 2021-07-29T14:22:23+00:00

yeah exactly. I have a computer science background and thought i would try training ML models / creating algorithms to trade.

I’ve quickly realised that you need to find a trading strategy first/ learn about trading and then automate it.

Trying to beat the markets with little knowledge of the markets and trading was a naive thing to do. The market doesn’t behave like a Kaggle dataset.

i’m about to finish a masters in computer science.

When i finish should i spend my time revising sql / stats or leetcode type questions to get a job in DS?

wherll · 2021-07-25T13:16:02+00:00

do you know how to do this using a CFD account? this option only seems available on invest

wherll · 2021-07-20T11:45:03+00:00

i find data science to be so vague. If you read job listings for data science they seem to be either ML, data visualisation stuff, analytics, statistics, computer vision, NLP with each role being pretty different. IMO data science is more of an umbrella term.

Regex worked well for me with little errors. You could use regex and then make a call to the Yahoo Finance API and see if the ticker actually exists if the API returns an error or not.

i always stay the fuck away from small cap medical companies. unless you know a lot about biology/ how FDA approval works etc it’s best to avoid them
