Data Scientist Christopher Conlan Releases New Method for Automating Trading “Automated Trading with R”
Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) December 15, 2016 -- APress, a Springer Nature publishing company dedicated to meeting the information needs of developers, IT professionals, and tech communities worldwide, announces the release of “Automated Trading with R” by author Chris Conlan, Independent Data Scientist.
“This book explains the broad topic of automated trading, starting with its mathematics and moving to its computation and execution,” said Conlan. “Readers will gain a unique insight into the mechanics and computational considerations taken in building a backtester, strategy optimizer, and fully functional trading platform.”
"Automated Trading with R" provides automated traders with all the tools they need to trade algorithmically with their existing brokerage, from data management, to strategy optimization, to order execution, using free and publicly available data. If your brokerage’s API is supported, the source code is plug-and-play.
The platform built in this book can serve as a complete replacement for commercially available platforms used by retail traders and small funds. Software components are strictly decoupled and easily scalable, providing opportunity to substitute any data source, trading algorithm, or brokerage. This book will:
- Provide a flexible alternative to common strategy automation frameworks, like Tradestation, Metatrader, and CQG, to small funds and retail traders
- Offer an understanding of the internal mechanisms of an automated trading system
- Standardize discussion and notation of real-world strategy optimization problems
