Using Machine Learning in Trading and Finance

Machine Learning for Trading,

This course provides the foundation for developing advanced trading strategies using machine learning techniques. In this course, you’ll review the key components that are common to every trading strategy, no matter how complex. You’ll be introduced to multiple trading strategies including quantitative trading, pairs trading, and momentum trading. By the end of the course, you will be able to design basic quantitative trading strategies, build machine learning models using Keras and TensorFlow, build a pair trading strategy prediction model and back test it, and build a momentum-based trading model and back test it. To be successful in this course, you should have advanced competency in Python programming and familiarity with pertinent libraries for machine learning, such as Scikit-Learn, StatsModels, and Pandas. Experience with SQL is recommended. You should have a background in statistics (expected values and standard deviation, Gaussian distributions, higher moments, probability, linear regressions) and foundational knowledge of financial markets (equities, bonds, derivatives, market structure, hedging).

What people are saying

finance folks who worked

Expected better material for lab The lectures and labs were very good, thanks to all the Google and NYI of Finance folks who worked on them-1 star for not making ppt/pdf notes available (or did I miss the links???)

clicking shift + enter

One could basically get a very high grade just copying, pasting and clicking SHIFT + ENTER You will learn concepts of trading and machine learning.

other minor technical difficulties

IMO Aquan in the context to how it was deployed in this course is not a user friendly toolbox (aside from other minor technical difficulties).

work has occasional bugs

I does not go too much in details but you get a lot of insight about trading and using ML in trading strategies really good course to capture most ideas in machine trading The contents are not organized at all the lab work has occasional bugs that are clearly due to oversight.
