Review Statistically Sound Machine Learning for Algorithmic Trading of Financial Instruments
by DAVID ARONSON
Description
This book was published to carry out two purposes. The first one, it administers education and implements learning so that readers may understand the relevance of meticulous and accessible trading methodologies crucial for trading system evaluation. This is necessary as theories are the bases for application. Though readers do not have enough mathematical knowledge, one can simply subscribe to learning as techniques were presented in a comprehensive manner using real-life market statistics, with insights rendered in the simplest ways possible.
Its second purpose heavily highlights the importance of Trading System Synthesis & Boosting for the development and assessment of trading systems. Education present inside this primer goes beyond the previous knowledge previously presented in other software development guides. Familiarization and mastery of these strategies will guarantee a trading system that will last and proven to have optimum results even though the system operates in the long run.
Going deeper to what this book offers, it also emphasizes matters including:
- Performance assessment and estimation through meticulous algorithms
- Evaluation of good luck in mock operations
- Identification of overfitting prior to system deployment
- Development trading system portfolios and put them under test to assess the performance
- The building of trading platforms that highly appeal to specific market trends
