There are no trading strategies (including data) that work that you can just buy, for two reasons: - Nobody sells a working tradong strategy because a working trading strategy is worth more than money you can sell it for. - Any advantage that a working trading strategy has will quickly disappear as soon as it becomes known to others.

Surely this applies less to trading algorithms which are constantly reanalysing data and results, and changing overtime to fit/further understand market conditions and other variables that would normally erode any given edge overtime.

Interesting idea but having an intimate understanding of the data is the most important pre-requisite to attempting any type of ML approach. Not being able to read the column names or contents is a massive handicap. Removing human intuition from feature engineering is like asking a doctor to cure a patient without seeing them.

I wonder how they guarantee that poor performance can be attributed to the model as it might also be due to a large difference in data given and live data. On top of that, ensembling all these models does not seem arbitrary. Interesting stuff though, will look into this more!

I like the idea, but don't see it working in the long term because of game theory principles. Personally, I see more value in preserving and executing my own alpha rather than submitting signals to numerai. However, I will still run my trading system on $nmr because regardless of whether I'm right or wrong, profit is profit.

@PinkFZeppelin
@PinkFZeppelin 3 жыл бұрын
In many ways they are similar because they can be reduced to a form of statistics. In this context I think a good traditional example is using moving averages to approximate future prices. A simple moving average has two features, time and price. Also the function of the formula for SMA is of fixed value. A machine learning algorithm could have practically infinite features. Those features can be things price, time, volume, the sentiment of the news, and quantity of hashtags on a ticker. Additionally a machine learning algorithm could continually rewrite the function it uses to predict prices.

Successful quants have other aspects added to machine learning: signal processing and data fusion at least. These are topics in electronic engineering used in radar tracking, audio and video processing. Another aspect is decorrelation, which is not an easy topic. I remember Jim Simons in one interview saying they use neural network without feedback, a very new and not common approach, i guess because they dont want to feed back the errors inside the learning network again in the network. I guess they prefer to reconfigure the network in real time with continuos flows of data.

Data is important because it allows you to predict the future with higher accuracy and steer your operations towards that direction and capture unmarked territory and profit from it first. Like Christopher Columbus. And now with the recent developments of Machine Learning Ai models and new optical hybrid CPUs and GPUs we are getting closer to an intelligence faster and possibly greater than our own and that's not taking into account NeuChip Biological Ai and Neuromorphic Computing.

Hard to believe his “data” is anymore special than data found on the web. Anything that is publicly traded is basically public info. Furthermore, stock price only has a few data points per day: open, close, high, low, volume (adjusted close if needed) making it a minimalistic dataframe. In the end, if people attempt to “solve” the data, they’ll end up adding columns like moving averages, stochastics, OBV, RSI, MACD, DMI... ending up backtesting reversal/pivot points based on those metrics interacting with one another. If he adds market beta like jobs payrolls, FX flows, US treasury yield curve, he’ll end up with 10s of linear regression models (not even considering polynomial lines) that attempt to give a signal at the same time. Seems like he is trying to reinvent the wheel when the wheel’s already been invented. Good luck nonetheless.

I remember when lex used to breakdown the bjj for yoga guy’s fights. For people that want to go down trading rabbit hole, don’t it’s a wast of time. You need to read the reports and listen to earnings calls. AI can’t preform high level judgment, the only way robots might make you money is trough arbitrage. All models are wrong some are useful.
@coreymckay5202
@coreymckay5202 10 ай бұрын
You are correct in that all models are wrong, only some are useful. The human mind and the best models we have to analyse stocks or nature etc. are a great example! The same goes for virtually everything one can concieve. Humans will always be there to perform high level judgement and improve these models, but as AI becomes more advanced and as we improve the data it uses, that judgement will be used largely to improve the techniques and scope of said AI, rather than manually tweaking the underlying models ourselves. An AI that is continuously processing and reprocessing an increasingly large number of data sets (price, indicators, sentiment, fundamentals, even its own trading results and more), training itself on new variables and effectively discovering trading systems on its own with constant human improvement could very well create a consistently successful trading system (until an unforseen variable not yet calculated comes into play, which it could then incorporate). To a degree, what I described above is essentially what professional stock traders already do! They just traditionally use their brain (a neural network trained on trading systems and life experience) and analysis software to speed it up. Any edge that a human trader has over an AI trading system is largely due to the data sets they have available to them (fundamental analysis, or social factors not yet fully processed/understood by machine learning) and the superior computational power of the human brain. Algorithmic trading is never going to be set and forget. Constant iteration, supervision and expertise is required to improve the accuracy of the AI as it slowly understands the sheer number of factors (human and technical) that are involved with the markets.

I'm not sure about this bro...And yes I trade HFT( with video proof )..Not hating, but this is not how HFT works. The root data come from the exchanges. The first access does cost but not millions. exchanges charges for the first right of distribution. Then next layer pays for access. Normally this access is categorized into 2 distinct groups ... retail and professional. There is all sorts of data, but if you think interference of data (obfuscated or not ..LOL) will help you see an iceberg order or tell you when to jump to an inverted exchange to capture a rebate...I'm not sure about that. The order types at the professional level offer more options than you can imagine. For example, I can place an IOC order at a "WHEELed" algo that will automatically cycle every exchange until the entire order is filled via rebate. I could go to an exchange that will automatically pull my order if I'm at the back of the order book ( yes certain exchanges offer this capability )...Will data see that? Regression, RNN will give you a high probability but no guarantee. The best way to approach HFT is to concept winning scenarios (non-obvious) and mix and match the right exchanges, fee structures, and even book-leaning. I had better stop now, But just be careful about folks claiming to have the magic bullet...Hint Place orders early ( up to 1 day early, rest eval position, and pull if needed) Make your own!

This approach will have limited success. First problem is only looking at 10-15 yrs worth of data which is essentially a long bull market. Other problem is with anonymizing the data is that you can't derive any meaning. Understanding what the data means is essential to making a decision and ML/AI is still to basic when it comes to understanding. Understanding the data is how macro economists (Dalio, Drunkenmiller) and subject matter experts (Buffet, Chamath) get their edge.
