Popular Systematic Trading Books

  1. Hi

    I have recently read 'Trading Systems and Methods' by Perry Kaufman and 'Systematic Trading' by Robert Carver. Those were valuable books.

    Can anyone suggest other valuable systematic and algorithmic trading books?

    Thanks

    "Algorithmic Trading: Winning Strategies and Their Rationale" written by Ernie Chan, is a fantastic book by Ernie Chan, this one focuses on creating successful algorithmic trading techniques. Chan investigates a variety of quantitative trading techniques, including statistical arbitrage, momentum trading, and mean reversion strategies. He explains the rationale behind each plan and offers practical guidance on implementation and risk management.

    That sounds interesting, but are there real cases of successful applications?

    To me, it sounds like a book that is capitalizing on the fact everyone has heard about neural networks now.

    I am deep into Douglas Hofstadter's Surfaces and Essences: Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking and I think the issue is you can't think about trading systems and machine learning by analogy. It is its own thing.

    I looked into trying to build a macro model that would use hotel data APIs to extract the change in room pricing and then use that as a feature to a ML model. The problem for me as a single person is the data is too expensive and too time consuming to consume. Then imagine having 100 other of these type of non-market data, data sources plus all the actual market data sources.

    Now you are in the domain of comparing the effectiveness of a deep learning algorithm vs a random forest or whatever other ML algorithm you like.

    If you just have a few features derived from a single price series, it is complete nonsense to be talking about neural networks.

    It is a type of category error that is hard to explain since it can't be approached through analogy.

    The closest I can think of is a book title "The saw: mastering the art of building a house". As if to build a house you only cut wood. That is still a terrible analogy.

    This book is just standard LTSM time series models that don't really work in finance.

    It that regard, it is really hard to beat Facebook Prophet for time series. A non-ML model,written in the Stan programming language.
