Use different machine learning algorithms: a simple guide

As machine learning is now taking over the world, I will be starting to jump aboard in a few weeks. In the meantime, I have been consuming as many helpful articles as possible. As this article was received well, it has some interesting topics that would be helpful to an automated trading operating. Here are some excerpts:

This guide is meant to hone your first instincts and help you remember what models might be the most effective for each problem, and which would be impractical to use.

This article seems to cover all machine learning methodologies. You may want to check it out

Realtime charting leads to best possible webinar

As part of my LIVE Python Infrastructure Building Blocks course, I presented the charting portion of Chart Director. As in the past few months, I promised to reveal the source for live charting which I did last night. I did even a code analysis. Where it got interesting is I took various technical indicators to add to the chart. We came away with some interesting concepts. In fact, I think you easily create another range of trading bots just from this one Python script alone. It is that good! The video is 90 minutes line. Also, I find there were so many gold nuggets revealed, I could easily charge well into the thousands for this access. I may just do that.

In the meantime, if you take your algo trading bot seriously, You may want to jump on this course as we are coming in to the last 2 weeks of the live component. The current price is $250 but as said, it may go up after that!!

Neural network AI is simple. So Stop pretending you are a genius

This was a wildly popular topic in my Facebook group.

Here are some quotes that may be relevant for you:

xNeural networks are dumb black box systems. If you torture them enough you can get great fit of test data, but you won’t get great results from randomly sourced tests. AI is really good at spurious correlations….

xqPeople want to ascribe magic powers to AI, but for the most part AI can’t do anything a human can’t. There are some exceptions, but only for transparent AI. Neural Networks aren’t transparent, and even in the transparent systems a human would be able to replicate the final result…

AI can be built to do great things. Neural networks have limitations.

Here is that popular article

Would appreciate your guidance

I wanted to reach out to you to ask you for some advice & guidance. I am not a programmer, but I am trying to create a solution that will allow me to work with live tick data (Forex mainly) (to create live dashboards, currency strength, momentum etc) and historical data to conduct further analysis.

I was thinking to feed this data into a database (I saw in your video that you are doing something similar). I wanted to get your advice as to the method of getting live tick data (something that does not cost a fortune would be ideal 🙂 ) ..

I spoke to a freelancer who said that Jfoex api is only a java library and it would not allow me to work with live tick data.

I’ve also had a look at a few tools to connect to dukascopy to export historical tick data, its just the ‘live tick-data’ part that I am unsure about.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

My answer was:

If you just want market data use IQFeed forex option for $30/month. Do understand as part of their terms of service, you cannot redistribute this outside of your own use. If you need it for trading, always use the broker’s data to keep in synch. Also, you will need a live Dukascopy account for the live tick data but again only for your purposes. Hope this helps

Redis NOSQL command driven to submit simple order and close with Dukascopy Java API

Confusing but the start of primitive messagage queue with Redis and Dukascopy Java SDK to maintain orders and positions. There is a still a lot to do as described in this video
