Study Notes
Algorithmic Trading
- Algorithmic Trading (Algo Trading/Black-Box Trading) uses computers for trading decisions based on pre-programmed instructions.
- Algorithmic trading can account for 70-80% of US equity trading.
Simple Algorithmic Trading Example
- An example of a trading instruction is purchasing 100 shares of AAPL if the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average.
Benefits of Algorithmic Trading
- Enables trade execution at optimal prices.
- Reduces transaction costs and the risk of human error.
- Allows backtesting of trading strategies.
- Automates the trading process.
Algorithmic Trading Strategies
- Trend Following: Identifies and follows market trends using tools like moving averages and MACD.
- Mean Reversion: Pinpoints overbought or oversold market conditions, using Bollinger Bands and RSI.
- Arbitrage: Leverages price discrepancies across different markets for risk-free profits.
- Market Making: Places buy and sell orders, profiting from the spread and enhancing market liquidity.
- Statistical Arbitrage: Spots statistical relationships between assets for strategies like pairs trading.
- Execution Algorithms: Breaks down large orders to minimize market impact, using strategies like TWAP and VWAP.
Algorithmic Trading Platforms
- Common platforms include MetaTrader 4/5, TradingView, Interactive Brokers, TD Ameritrade, Bloomberg, QuantConnect, and proprietary platforms.
Algorithmic Trading: Getting Started
- Requires learning a programming language like Python or R, understanding financial markets, developing and backtesting a strategy, automating it, and continuous monitoring.
Algorithmic Trading Risks
- Model risk: The trading model might not perform as anticipated.
- Overfitting: The model could be excessively complex, hindering its ability to generalize effectively.
- Data mining bias: The model might detect false correlations in the data.
- Technical glitches: The trading algorithm could experience malfunctions.
- Black swan events: Unexpected events could lead to substantial losses.
Algorithmic Trading Resources
- Books: "Algorithmic Trading: Winning Strategies and Their Rationale" by Ernie Chan, "Quantitative Trading: How to Build Your Own Algorithmic Trading Business" by Ernie Chan, and "Advances in Financial Machine Learning" by Marcos Lopez de Prado.
- Websites: Quantopian, QuantConnect, and Investopedia.
- Online Courses: Available on Coursera, Udemy, and edX.
Key Points for Algorithmic Trading
- Algorithmic trading is a potent tool needing programming, financial, and statistical expertise.
- It presents inherent risks.
- Careful preparation and implementation are crucial for success.
Linear Algebra and Analytical Geometry I
- Chapter 1 discusses systems of linear equations, a fundamental concept in linear algebra.
Equation Definitions
- Definition 1.1.1: A linear equation with n unknowns $x_1, x_2,..., x_n$ has the form: $a_1x_1 + a_2x_2 +... + a_nx_n = b$, where $a_1, a_2,..., a_n, b$ are given constants.
- Definition 1.1.2: A system of m linear equations with n unknowns $x_1, x_2,..., x_n$ is a set of equations in the form provided, where the $a_{ij}$ and $b_i$ are given constants.
- Definition 1.1.3: A solution to a system of linear equations is an n-tuple $(x_1, x_2,..., x_n)$ that satisfies all equations in the system.
- Definition 1.1.4: Solving a system means finding all solutions, collectively known as the solution set.
Geometric Interpretation
- In $\mathbb{R}^2$, a linear equation represents a line.
- In $\mathbb{R}^3$, a linear equation represents a plane.
- The solution set for a system of two equations can be a unique solution (intersecting lines), no solution (parallel lines), or infinite solutions (coinciding lines).
Equivalent Systems
- Definition 1.3.1: Two systems of linear equations are equivalent if they share the same solution set.
- Proposition 1.3.2: The following operations transform a system into an equivalent system such as exchanging two equations, multiplying an equation by a non-zero constant and adding a multiple of one equation to another.
Gauss Elimination Method
- Gauss's elimination is a systematic approach to solving linear equation systems by transforming the system into an easier, equivalent form, using the operations of Proposition 1.3.2.
