Our research covers long term investing strategies that cover less frequent rebalancing and can be traded manually. We backtest long term asset allocation for example the Meb Faber model and other trend following models.

Mid Term

Our mid term strategy research covers trades that last for up to several days or sometimes weeks before exiting the position. An example of such a strategy is the use of mean standard deviation bands.

Short Term

Short term strategies that we include in our magazine are automated intraday strategies. We come up with all sort of ideas whether we backtest a pairs trading strategy or some momentum analyzing volume patterns.

– What kind of strategies are included in your research?

The list is long and we always strive to come up with some new and unique idea. Here is a list of some of the strategies that we have backtested so far:

Seasonality Trading
Volume Effect
Volatility Trading
Momentum

Trend Following
Pairs Trading
Sentiment Analysis
Machine Learning

Crypto Trading
Spread Trades
Mean Reversion
Sector Rotation

– Which coding languages do you use for backtesting your ideas?

We use Python, R and EasyLanguage.

Python is a high-level programming language that is more deployed in machine learning and for automation of trading systems. Python has got exclusive library functions that facilitate ease of coding the algorithmic trading strategies.

R is a language of choice for many data scientists and statisticians at every level. It has a large and rapidly growing community and more than 10,000 contributed packages as of the time of writing. Packages include software suites for data management, machine learning, graphics and plotting, and much more. Installing a new package takes a few seconds and opens up a ton of capabilities within R. If a trader wants to experiment he is not required to have prior experience with R and it is generally speaking easier to learn then python. Here is an interesting article that can get you going quickly.

EasyLanguage is a proprietary programming language that was developed by TradeStation and built into its electronic trading platform. It is used to create custom indicators for financial charts and also to create algorithmic trading strategies for the markets. External DLL’s can be referenced using EasyLanguage which greatly extends its functionality. It can be described as the swiss army knife for backtesting. However, if you want to become more serious testing asset allocation models and working with very large data sets then there will be no way around Python.

– How do I get started with algorithmic trading?

We highly recommend to work your way through our reading list. Master the theoretical background and get some valuable input from research papers and books. Hone your knowledge on statistics and money management.

Next you learn a programming language or another tool that can help you backtest your ideas. You should start learning Python as this programming language is the most popular one among the quant community with plenty of resources.

Finally, stay focused. If you have an idea stick to it and run extensive tests before reaching to a conclusion. Disassemble the market of interest into all its individual parts until you fully understand what is going on and what might influence the price of the security.
