    Nice, I’m reading Detecting Regime Change right now as I always had a different understanding about regimes. Went through the same struggles of brain melting seeing math on these books the first time, so for any beginner I would also recommend (although they are not directly linked to trading, these books helps you come up with things that never exist anywhere)
    1. Python for Scientific Computing and Artificial Intelligence, Stephen Lynch (For absolute beginners, get your basics and logical thinking right)
    2. Applied Mathematics with Open-Source Software: Operational Research Problems with Python and R , Vincent Knight
    3. Applied Evolutionary Algorithms for Engineers Using Python, Leonardo Azevedo Scardua
    4. Quantitative Finance with Python! A Practical Guide to Investment Management, Trading, and Financial Engineering, Chris Kelliher
    5. Machine Learning: Theory and Practice, Jugal Kalita
    Finally all the books recommended in the video, every one of them is an absolute read, don’t know about the last one, I’m still reading it, and for professors Steve Brunton, I am following his video lectures during my free time instead of the book so I can make notes along with him.

      Interesting list, I'll have to look into a few of those. The evolutionary algorithms book I've never seen before. A book I forgot to include is Clever Algorithms by Jason Brownlee. It's a collection of nature-inspired optimization algorithms that I've found useful on a number of occasions. Might be similar.

    Awesome list and thank you for taking your time to put this review together! Books are a great way to master a discipline and having a curated list like this is extremely valuable. Many here would probably agree.
    I'd also add "Quantitative Portfolio Management - The Art and Science of Statistical Arbitrage" by Michael Isichenko. This one is more advanced, but reading it is like doing a Master's in Quantitative Trading - every page is full of intellectual discoveries that collectively build up a solid foundation.

    Hi, can you make a video for 'the path of a trader in 2023?'
    I've been on a learning journey in trading, including algorithmic trading and machine learning for trading, for the past year. Despite acquiring knowledge, I'm facing challenges in actual trading execution. While I resonate with the book recommendations, I'm seeking guidance on a structured path as a beginner. Specifically, I want to efficiently combine learning through books with practical implementation, all while not having prior trading experience. What steps should I take to start trading as a beginner? Which books should I prioritize, and what types of trades should I initiate? My goal is to optimize my learning by blending theory with hands-on experience and to begin trading consistently as soon as possible.

    I just wonder whether the individual month or year is better for improving the results or does it depend on the personal goals for the algo?

Is it more of a full-time job thing or just a small passive income? Because I noticed a lot of profitable strategies have pretty small annual return for it to be a monthly income.

    Can you point me to a resource or give some tips on how to build and test a "Bayesian" setup from multiple setups? For example let's say I have 3 setups, one on the 4 hour timeframe, another on the 1 hour timeframe and another on the 15 minute timeframe.
    My prior would be weighing the higher timeframes more heavily while taking a decision to long/short after a signal has been generated and also adjusting my Take Profit and SL as a linear combination of these three setups.
    But I want to be able to adjust this prior over the training data to arrive at some optimal combination and then test it. How should I proceed? I was looking at Bayesian Hierarchical Models but don't know if this is the right approach.
    The idea is to automate the concept of "multiple confirmations" that people look for when trading manually.

    • @neurotrader888
      @neurotrader888  Год назад +2

      I've never had multi-timeframe systems work well for me, so I'm probably not the person to ask. The lower timeframes contain all the information the higher timeframes do, I just adjust the lookback of indicators to achieve mostly the same result. I've only used daily + hourly because because some alternate data comes in at a daily rate.
      My best guess would be to keep it simple. Test each setup individually, ensuring each has its own merit. Then wait for the signal from all three timeframes to trigger close together. Creating a single setup. Adjusting TP and SL could be done by assessing multiple ATR multipliers with three-barrier labels (see advances in financial machine learning). Then update the probabilities of each label with bayes after each trade. Selecting the one with highest probability of working. I don't know if this would be effective, just spitballing.
      As for a linear combination of the setups, Assessing and Improving Prediction Classification has a section about combining multiple models with a linear model. Idk how that ties into multi-timeframe though.

    • @globalfinancetrading
      @globalfinancetrading 3 месяца назад

      One good way to find out the 'best' result is to test it. Creating a variable score for each setup and combining different combinations based on weighting to identify the most ideal outcome based on returns, stability and predictability.

    Financial Engineering, Algorithmic Trading, Machine Learning Strategies... I think that all of these are meaningful to the general public when they are ultimately profitable. Do you have any automated trading tools or algorithms that generate consistent profits, even if they are small? If so, connect to your mock broker and update your earnings often, and you will have a huge number of subscribers and a lot of people want to know about everything you want to talk about. I have some ideas and strategies, but I don't know how to code, so I asked chat-gpt, and they weren't good at it. I envy you for being able to do this well.

      I assure you the general public couldn't care less about this stuff, even if I was making insane profits.
      Depends on what you mean by consistency. My "best" strategies are relative momentum strategies which are far from consistent. They do really well for a brief period once or twice a year and are dormant for the rest of the time. I would call Mean reversion more consistent, many small profits with the occasional awful loss.
      The chatGPT stuff for trading is all hype, I've seen a ton of youtube videos having chatGPT make a strategy (which they then call "AI trading" for clicks). When in reality it prints out some moving average crossover derivative that everyone has heard of. It's a language model, not a market model.

      Hard disagree. You might be right about regular trading but this specifically is for algorithmic trading. No trading journal will give you the same info these books will.
      I actually kept a trading journal so I know where you're coming from and think it's absolutely the case for trading normally or even day trading. But that's neither here nor there.
