From the Preface
The applying of AI to monetary buying and selling remains to be a nascent subject, though on the time of writing there are a variety of different books out there that cowl this matter to some extent. Many of those publications, nevertheless, fail to indicate what it means to economically exploit statistical inefficiencies.
Some hedge funds already declare to completely depend on machine studying to handle their traders’ capital. A distinguished instance is The Voleon Group, a hedge fund that reported greater than six billion {dollars} (USD) in property underneath administration on the finish of 2019 (see Lee and Karsh 2020). The issue of counting on machine studying to outsmart the monetary markets is mirrored within the fund’s efficiency of seven% for 2019, a yr throughout which the S&P 500 inventory index rose by nearly 30%.
This ebook relies on years of sensible expertise in growing, backtesting, and deploying AI-powered algorithmic buying and selling methods. The approaches and examples introduced are largely primarily based by myself analysis for the reason that subject is, by nature, not solely nascent, but additionally slightly secretive.
The exposition and the model all through this ebook are relentlessly sensible, and in lots of cases the concrete examples are missing correct theoretical help and/or complete empirical proof. This ebook even presents some purposes and examples that could be vehemently criticized by consultants in finance and/or machine studying.
For instance, some consultants in machine and deep studying, akin to François Chollet (2017), outright doubt that prediction in monetary markets is feasible. Sure consultants in finance, akin to Robert Shiller (2015), doubt that there’ll ever be one thing like a monetary singularity. Others energetic on the intersection of the 2 domains, akin to Marcos López de Prado (2018), argue that using machine studying for monetary buying and selling and investing requires an industrial-scale effort with giant groups and big budgets.
This ebook doesn’t attempt to present a balanced view of or a complete set of references for all of the matters coated. The presentation is pushed by the private opinions and experiences of the creator, in addition to by sensible concerns when offering concrete examples and Python code. Lots of the examples are additionally chosen and tweaked to drive house sure factors or to indicate encouraging outcomes. Due to this fact, it may definitely be argued that outcomes from many examples introduced within the ebook undergo from knowledge snooping and overfitting (for a dialogue of those matters, see Hilpisch 2020, ch. 4).
The most important aim of this ebook is to empower the reader to make use of the code examples within the ebook as a framework to discover the thrilling house of AI utilized to monetary buying and selling. To attain this aim, the ebook depends all through on plenty of simplifying assumptions and totally on monetary time collection knowledge and options derived instantly from such knowledge. In sensible purposes, a restriction to monetary time collection knowledge is in fact not crucial—an awesome number of different kinds of knowledge and knowledge sources might be used as properly. This ebook’s strategy to deriving options implicitly assumes that monetary time collection and options derived from them present patterns that, not less than to some extent, persist over time and that can be utilized to foretell the course of future actions.
In opposition to this background, all examples and code introduced on this ebook are technical and illustrative in nature and don’t characterize any suggestion or funding recommendation.
For individuals who need to deploy approaches and algorithmic buying and selling methods introduced on this ebook, my ebook Python for Algorithmic Buying and selling: From Concept to Cloud Deployment (O’Reilly) offers extra process-oriented and technical particulars. The 2 books complement one another in lots of respects. For readers who’re simply getting began with Python for finance or who’re in search of a refresher and reference handbook, my ebook Python for Finance: Mastering Information-Pushed Finance (O’Reilly) covers a complete set of essential matters and basic expertise in Python as utilized to the monetary area.
