We will be backtesting and deploying an algorithmic trading strategy in a live environment. We'll see how it performs and discuss the steps one can take to improve its performance.
Due to the limited duration of the event, the strategy showcased will use basic ideas in mathematics and technical analysis. We'll be using the Python libraries scipy and talib.
This workshop will be the first part of a larger series, and should appeal to anyone who has an interest in developing automated trading strategies. It would be helpful if you have programming experience, otherwise some aspects of the workshop will be harder to follow.
On the laptop you need: - low weight so you can easily take it with you to work elsewhere - excellent screen/GPU - multiple large connected screens - plenty of memory - great keyboard/pointer device
Also: great chair
Frankly, what would be really great is a Mac Vision Pro fully customised as a workstation.
