Course Description

The course is designed to fully immerse you into the complete quantitative trading/finance workflow, going from hypothesis generation to data preparation, feature engineering and training testing of multiple machine learning algorithms (backtesting). It is a bootcamp designed to get you from zero to hero. The course is aimed at teaching about trading, giving you understanding of the differences between discretionary and quantitative trading. You will learning about different trading instruments/products or also known as asset classes. Course elements:

Learn about trading and the quantitative trading workflow. Develop a solid understand of what is required to do quantitative trading analysis and the advantages and disadvantages.

Learn how to download futures data from NinjaTrader. Load the data in R and do data preparation and visualization.
Explore various trading ideas/hypothesis on the web, and learn how to generate original trading ideas.
Learn and understand what machine learning is and get a good grip of the type of machine learning algorithms available to solve different type of problems ( namely classification and regression problems).
Code along while learning about feature engineering, write algorithms for training and testing support vector machine, naAve bayes and random forest models and use these to predict the next price direction of crude oil futures. Realize that these strategies can be used for other trading instruments/products.
Compare the model performance and do portfolio selection by only selecting the non correlated models.

Data scientist and passionate about the financial market. I have been trading for the last 3 years with very good results in the last 2 years. I have shifted mainly from a discretionary to a more quantitative trader. I used my skills in machine learning to generate reliable and profitable trading strategies.

By Jonathan Ng

The ability to leverage the experience of someone who has had hands-on experience applying machine learning to a specific problem such as trading is extremely valuable.

This is great down to earth training that gets straight to the point without any hype.

By David Bayerl

A great introduction to market applications for machine learning. Looking forward to participating in the deep learning course in the future.

Only complaint is that it would of been nice to have a code along for hyper parameter tuning on the models proposed. But an external resource was mentioned to help guide through this process.

E X C E L L E N T instructor! I've taken many machine learning for trading courses. Every one I can find really and this is the best by far. I know python but haven't worked very much in R. It's very helpful in analyzing trade set ups. I will use what I learned here to set up my work much quicker.
