The walk-forward analysis is the most crucial building block of your trading strategy. At this stage it is determined if the hypothetical returns are a result of overfitting or the result of a robust trading system. If the walk-forward analysis produces negative results you must go back to the first step of your strategy development process.

An Introduction to Probabilistic Deep Learning Explained in Simple Terms

Read Next Pairs Trading – A Real-World Profitable Strategy Deep learning is nothing else than probability. There are two principles involved in it, one is the maximum likelihood and the other one is Bayes. It is all about maximizing a likelihood function in order to find the probability distribution and parameters that best explain the data we are working with. Bayesian methods come into play where our network needs to say, “I am not sure”. It is at the crossing between deep learning architecture and Bayesian probability theory.

Supercharge Seasonal Movement Analysis

When it comes to trading there is a common belief that most behavior in markets can be explained by assuming that market participants make ‘logical’ trading decisions. In reality we know it’s not that easy. However there are market movements that are predictable because they repeat every year. We call this seasonal movement. You don’t have to be a math wizard to see seasonal cyclic movements in assets repeating year over year. To be able to predict the movement of a particular market it’s useful to analyze the seasonal pattern over a certain time period that should usually range from 10 to 15 years.

Video Wall Street Code

A thrilling documentary about a genius algorithm builder who dared to stand up against Wall Street. Haim Bodek aka The Algo Arms Dealer. Haim Bodek is a former Goldman and UBS trader who has come firmly out against how stock exchanges work with high frequency traders. Mr. Bodek had worked with rapid-fire trading firms to give them an unfair edge over everyday investors. He became convinced exchanges were providing such an edge after he says he was offered one himself when he ran a high-speed trading firm—a way to place orders that can be filled ahead of others placed earlier. More information on the different order types can be found here.
