Python has taken the data analytics space by storm – more so in the financial services space. With the rapid growth of data and ever-increasing need to process data faster and getting results of back-testing in shorter spans of time, there is no other better time than now to delve into the world of languages like Python. To give a perspective, the Indian Market Fundamental Data on Quandl has a dataset of a little over 9.1 million rows.
Kalman Filter and Unscented Kalman Filter AFL in Amibroker using Python ComServer
In the last tutorial we explored Kalman filter and how to build kalman filter using pykalman python library. In this section we will be dealing with python com server to integrate Amibroker + Python to compute Kalman Filter and Unscented Kalman Filter Mean Estimation and plot the same in Amibroker.
Implementation of Kalman Filter Estimation of Mean in Python using PyKalman, Bokeh and NSEPy
Kalman Filter is an optimal estimation algorithm to estimate the variable which can be measured indirectly and to find the best estimate of states by combining measurement from various sensors in the presence of noise. This tutorial talks about implementation of Kalman Filter Estimation of Mean in IPython Notebook using PyKalman, Bokeh, NSEPy and pandas to plot Interactive Intraday Candlestick Charts with Kalman Filter
What makes Python most preferred language for Algorithmic Traders
Trading systems evolve with time and any programming language choices will evolve along with them. If you want to enjoy best of the both the worlds in algorithmic trading-benefits of a general purpose programming language and powerful tools of the scientific stack- choose an algorithmic trading course that introduces python trading platforms.

Here is yet another simple visualization stuff using python to compute bunch of NSE Sectoral Indices returns (52 Weeks, YTD , MTD, Last month returns) and visualize the same in a barchart.
Nifty Returns Heatmap Generation using NSEpy and Seaborn
Everyone love to visualize this market in their own way. Python comes handy when comes to visualization. One of the Awesome programming language to code any level of complexity. However I start here by simply generating a heatmap which visualizes the Historical Nifty returns since 2000 and there by visualizing the reality of the market.
Fetch Intraday Data from Google and Plot using Python
Here is an yet another interesting python tutorial to fetch intraday data using Google Finance API , , store the data in csv format and also plot the intraday data as candlestick format. We are using plotly library for plotting candlestick charts and pandas to manage time-series data.
How to Plot Candlestick Charts using Python
In the last tutorial we had seen how to import data from NSEindia using NSEpy library and how to compute co-integration. In this tutorial we will be using plotly – a library to visualize your data interactively and pandas – library to manage time series data to build interactive candle stick charts.
Compute Cointegration using NsePy, Pandas Library
Here is a simple example to compute Cointegration between two stock pairs using python libraries like NSEpy, Pandas, statmodels, matplotlib
How to Compute Cointegration using Amibroker and Python
Cointegration is used in Statistical Arbitrage to find best Pair of Stocks (Pair Trading) to go long in one stock and short(Competitive peers) another to generate returns. Statistical Arbitrage(StatArb) is all about mean reversion, looking for deviation in the spreads and expecting mean reversion from the spread.
Quantcon 2015 – Workshop Videos
In case if you missed the Quantcon 2015 a disruptive quant trading event, will break down the existing walls to algorithmic trading by giving you an inside look at tools and content sets. Mebane Faber’s Market Outlook 2015 and EP Chan’s session on “Beware of Low Frequency data” , Tukar Balsh session on “10 ways backtest lie” are my favorites. So here is the recorded sessions happened in Quantcon2015.
