Trading with Python Webinar Series

Welcome!

This repository contains supported files and code examples used on my futures.io webinars series on Trading with Python.

Webinars in this Series:

1. Prototyping Trading Strategies - [ jupyter notebook | webinar recording ]
2. Backtesting & Optimization - [ jupyter notebook | webinar recording ]
3. Live Trading - [ jupyter notebook | webinar recording ]
4. Using Machine Learning in Trading (TBA)

* The recordings of the webinars can be found this futures.io YouTube playlist.

Requirements:

All the code listed in the notebooks is compatible with Python 3.4+ and relies on Python's scientific stack (Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, etc). The simplest way to get Python 3 installed on your mahcine, is to install Continuum's Anaconda, which comes pre-loaded with 99% of what you need.

Once you have anaconda installed, I recommend installing a few more libraries, in order to be able to run the code in the notebooks:

• pandas-datareader - to quickly fetch financial data
• fix-yahoo-finance - fixes Yahoo! finance historical data retreival
• seaborn - for nicer (and more complex) plots in less code

Install these libraries by opening your terminal (or cmd.exe in windows) and running the following commands:

$ pip install pandas-datareader
$ pip install fix-yahoo-finance
$ pip install seaborn

Good luck with your trading,
