Anyone Know About Quantitative Analysis?

Recommended Posts

Google something like quanitiative analysis of stocks and you will get lots of leads to websites and books.

 

ya thats exactly what I googled before posting this thread but unfortunately the few websites that I use only have the definition for it.

 

I found this one which gives a general description:10. Stock Analysis: Quantitative Valuation | Red Cat Journal

 

I was hoping to find a website that has more detailed information with examples. I'm probably going to see if I could check out this book from a library:

try googling "quant finance forum"

or try " nuclear phynance"

and who knows maybe more than 10% may only be related to trading

 

Be pre-warned though - these guys are maths geeks. (not there is anything wrong with that), and they will argue over it all day. There is some great info there - it just looks at the world differently to many here, and a lot has to do with arbitrage, options, swaps, and models for portfolio.s

 

as a prelude into asking questions this is what you might get.....

Hi

Looking for some qualified opinion/advice on choosing a automated trading platform.

It should link to IB's API (most do I think) and go beyond to common technical analysis vodoo. All considered that I can't programm at all.

 

I want to be able to create my own math based technical indicators and apply more complex models. Those popular tradestation/multicharts seem very easy to build systems, but also seem limited to purely classical technical analysis and don't allow flexibility? Is this observation correct? Does this Easylanguage allow the creation of my own quantitative indicators or to put it in other words where can I type in my formulas??

 

Checked out Matlab, seems great but how hard is it to learn and also it seems much longer to build/test strategies then in those technical analysis platforms??

Thx and appreciate any qualified feedback!!

Matlab and hard in the same sentence. I think you've stumbled into the wrong forum...

Dood, better return to your books. This world outside ain't made for you...

    • IMHO, the best feature of the Double Seven entry strategy is that buys and does not sell in equity-based markets. Large scale selling short in the primary stock markets requires a financed loan of shares from a broker, so it's less common than buying. Therefore, selling in a stock-tracking market generally isn't profitable--even where derivative instruments provide cheaper access to selling.

    • I would forget about tinkering with lot sizes in the short-term. I only increase my lot size when it's justified by my growing capital (closed profit). Adjusting lot size on the fly would imply that I somehow know the specific probability of each individual trade succeeding--which I don't. So, I focus on the overall statistical performance of my strategy over every 6 months. This doesn't require anything clever. As an example, choose a chart structure (15 minute, 1 hour, Renko, range bar, etc.) where price swings are identifiable to your eye. Load a MACD oscillator onto the chart. Note that there are two MACD's floating around online. The "old" MACD uses a weighted EMA in its calculations while the "new" MACD uses a regular MACD in its calculations. If you're using the old one, focus on the main line crossing the signal line and ignore the zero level. If you're using the new one, focus on the main line crossing the zero level and ignore the signal line. These are your entries. Your dynamic exit target is the opposite crossover of whichever MACD lines you're using. Now for the most challenging part... stopouts. You need to determine the number of pips/points/ticks at which price traveled against your entry and did not return in favor of your entry for all trades. These stopout statistics can be collected with pen and paper, which I have arduously done in the past. This is much easier if you can code, backtest, and auto-optimize the stop level. The idea is that your dynamic takeprofit is theoretically infinite, and your stop is fixed at a level that is statistically favorable to you. Although this isn't really "money managment," it certainly manages your money.
