Hello,

 

I much interested in readings about algo trading and just thought that it might be beneficial for those interested in this as well to have a place where we could share materials on this subject:

- articles,

- ebooks,

- educational websites

 

Just an example of such a website:

 

http://www.automatedtrader.net/

 

Frankly, I searched the Internet for ''algo trading''. There seems to be little on this :doh:

 

If you have any readings please share them here :)

 

Regards

Yeah, I've been there, seen there. There maybe 1.6 million links to algo trading, but 99.99% of it are just guys with suits and ties talking about how important algo trading is, but noone really speaks what algo trading is. These links have no real value.

Well, now we're getting somewhere. At least we all know what you're really searching for now.

 

Good trading!

Nucleaphynance has some good stuff too, less students asking questions than Wilmott but people are a bit more terse in their responses on there.

The real problem though is I don't think your going to find what your looking for exactly. If there is an advantage to auto trading its removing uncertainty from the strategy...because of that I pretty much operate from the perspective that if what is being talked about is very specific to the point you can impliment the idea in code, then it probly doesn't work.

The pairs trading book in the review section here is still the best quant intro i've found...keep in mind that the only reason it was probly published is because its 101 stuff that doesn't work anymore so it was safe to publish. It at least though gives a glimpse into the style of that kind of trading though with specifics.

Three key barriers to your knowledge as far as I'm concerned.

 

1) The term 'algorithmic trading' encompasses an awfully wide scope of activities, some of which will have little or no interest to you. What it isn't is an activity that solely relates to the sort of 'systems trading' that retail traders think in terms of (i.e. simple m.a. crossover, that kind of thing). It is considerably more than that, both in breadth and depth of application.

 

2) The really interesting work is, by definition, proprietary in nature, and as such is closely guarded. No-one is gonna splatter this stuff all over the web - where's the upside?

 

3) Unless you actually work in this field chances are anything detailed enough to be useful is gonna sail right over most peoples' heads here. Not trying to be patronising, just telling it like I see it.

After making huge search with Google, I believe you are right here. There are even no case studies of unsuccesful algo stories ;)

 

At the moment 99% of my algo trading knowledge comes from matlab webinar, which as you can imagine, is very very little.

Try this google search.... should be something of note on case studies for algorithmic trading.

Have you looked in the Wilmott forums? lots of quants talking about many aspects of algorithms there

 

That is a great resource but it can get pretty sophisticated ...which is good since it keeps some people out who don't want to do the work

    • ...hallucinates.... Student: “What if we gave the monkey LSD?” Guru: “The monkey already did LSD”
    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
