    What is the rationale behind trendlines?

    A trend moving up shows buyers that are getting more and more anxious to buy, therefore making higher lows. A trend line, looks pretty in the chart and makes for great eye candy for our mind which happens to be wired for identifying patterns.

    Bid and Ask Price

    HFT's and quants do a lot of work out of the limit order book, since signals on the book lead those in the tape. But the dynamics of the order book (bid and ask) are far from simple. The answer to your question is "it depends" since a large size may be a large buyer, or it may be a bluff...

    What languages are programmers learning?

    Python is slower at run time, but it is much faster for iterating over ideas and building new strategies. Components of the system that almost never change (data handlers, fix engine) are best build on C or even on a FPGA but python adds value in areas that are constantly changing and require...

    Machine Learning Course at Stanford University

    Andrew Ng's course is awesome. I took it a few years ago. It makes you understand how gradient descent, recomender systems and neural nets work underneath the hood. It also gives a great foundation on machine learning, understanding the high variance/high bias trade off , the linear algebra...

    Machine Learning is the new C++

    Found an interesting article. It states that there's no such thing as machine learning, it's just learning. It takes a few premise that basically argue that the distinction between machine and organism is not as clear as one would assume. quote: An ecorithm is an algorithm, but its...

    Machine Learning is the new C++

    Check out this course on neural nets by geoffrey hinton. He covers several types of nets starting with perceptrons, then sigmoid networks, ..., all the way to restricted boltzman machines and self organizing maps. It's a great and deep introduction to deep nets (pun!) from the man who invented...

    Dark Pools

    Generally and possibly indicate that different pools can behave differently depending on how they are legally setup (which specific rules apply to them and which not) and how they play within the margins given by the rules...

    I haven't used ibpy. It looks pretty cool, seems to be in beta, but is going in a good direction.

    Reinforcment Learning

    In this Berkley Class (it is free, of course) you get to teach Pacman how to win by himself through reinforcement learning :D https://www.edx.org/course/artificial-intelligence-uc-berkeleyx-cs188-1x

    R or Python for someone with elementary CS skills?

    checkout the blog at quanstart.com they cover trading systems design in python and C++, elaborating in many key components (like the backtester) with detailed and well explained examples.

    Machine Learning is the new C++

    the rebate game is all about moving faster to get your place in the queue when the price changes... so it is a natural place for machines to displace humans (as they have been doing for years) since it doesn't need a lot of intelligence, but rather a lot of speed...

    Asset Pricing - Chicago U

    jejeje... well, that's the feeling that I got when I started viewing the materials for this class. The prof is like, "here's an AR1 function, and you know how to derive it, how to get the first and second moment and how to solve to represent Xt's dependency on previous shocks" and he was just...
