Nano Course On Python For Trading
==========================
Module 1

Python makes it very easy to analyze and visualize time series data when you’re a beginner. It's easier when you don't have to install python on your PC (that's why it's a nano course, you'll learn python...

 ... on the go). You will not be required to install python in your PC but you will be using an amazing python editor, Google Colab Visit https://t.co/EZt0agsdlV

This course is for anyone out there who is confused, frustrated, and just wants this python/finance thing to work!
In Module 1 of this Nano course, we will learn about :

# Using Google Colab
# Importing libraries
# Making a Random Time Series of Black Field Research Stock (fictional)
# Using Google Colab

Intro link is here on YT: https://t.co/MqMSDBaQri

Create a new Notebook at https://t.co/EZt0agsdlV and name it AnythingOfYourChoice.ipynb

You got your notebook ready and now the game is on!
You can add code in these cells and add as many cells as you want
# Importing Libraries

Imports are pretty standard, with a few exceptions.
For the most part, you can import your libraries by running the import.
Type this in the first cell you see. You need not worry about what each of these does, we will understand it later.
(Note: I have posted a link to my own notebook used for this course at the end of the thread. You can use it for reference)

Once you have imported the packages, run the code by clicking on the play button ▶️.
# Making a Random Time Series of Black Field Research Stock (fictional)

Let's add some more code and create a fictional stock price chart of a multinational investment management firm Black Field Research (aka @BlackFieldRes ) and use it for statistics and graphs.

Exact Code:
In the next thread, I’ll show you how to import data from URLs, but that’s not the focus of this nano course.
First, make the index of our data using "date_range." I picked today’s date, 2015/01/01, as the start date, used a daily frequency, and created 2500 rows.
Then I'll make an empty DataFrame that uses the date range we created as its index. Typically, I call this variable df, but you can call it anything you want.
Let's create fake data for our stock's closing value, let's call it "Close." To make a random series, I am using a random() function from NumPy. The below steps might look complicated to you but feel free to skip the next 2 threads and just add the code in your notebook.
Steps to generate random stock price time series.
1. Idea is to will the data frame with normal redistribute random numbers for our close price
2. Its mean is 0.002 and the standard deviation is 0.02. Total 2500 entries have been made.
3. Call above array as N, Replace N by..
.. e^N .
4. Take the first row as 1, which is our stock price on day 1.

5. Finally, take the cumulative product of the columns.

It's fine if you didn't understand this. We will come on it in later posts. Let's see the output in the next post
Its output will look like this.
Next, we will calculate Moving Average. A stock can be volatile, but it's moving average is smoother and gives us an idea of the overall trend. Let's calculate 200 day moving average.
Let's add one more column, 200MAdist, which is equal to distance b/w 'close' and 200 moving average.
In order to plot multiple graphs to visualize what we did till now, we will use add_subplot() function.

Add this code and the output will look like :
Till now, we have learned about how to use google colab, generate fake data for our stock using python, and we have learned how to calculate moving averages and plot multiple plots together.
In Module 2 of this nano course, we will learn :

# Visualing Logical conditions as signals
# Simulating a trading strategy and considering slippages

I got you started with python. Meanwhile, learn about python and the terms we have used here. You can comment below with doubts.
Link to my colab notebook :

You can make a copy of it and play around with it.

Until next time.

Module 4

In this post, I will attempt to teach you how to write a trading strategy in Equity Segment that runs on your PC and create a Telegram bot that sends you buy/sell signals with Stop Loss.


Prerequisite: If you hadn't gone through the earlier modules, I strongly recommend you go through them all. Module 2: https://t.co/pciDOJXyVI

Note:
If you liked my content, you can donate, tip and support me on this link (any amount you prefer)


We are going to implement below strategy:

Rules: There should be three candles -> high of candle 1 > high of candle 2 > high of candle 3 and low of candle 1 < low of candle 2 < low of candle 3, where candle 3 is T-1 day, candle 2 is T-2 day and candle 1 is of T-3 Day, T = today.


If on today(day=T), the stock crosses yesterday high(candle 3), then send a buy signal to your telegram handle with candle 3 low as SL.

Before we get started with code, let's create a telegram bot using BotFather.

Step 1: Search BotFather in the telegram.
Step 2: type /newbot and then give the name to your bot. Refer to the second image as an example

Module 3

In this post, I will attempt to teach you how to write an algorithm in python to automatically find support and resistance. We shall use the data we downloaded in module 2.

+

To visualize price action, I have used the daily candlestick chart. To quantify the meaning of support and resistance, I have taken below definitions:
In a series of 5 continuous candles, if the first three candles make increasing high and then 2 decreasing highs, then the

+

high of the third candle is considered resistance. Similarly, if the first 3 candles make lower lows and the next 2 make high lows then the low of the third candle is support.

+


The above explanation is for the sake of quantifying support and resistance at a very basic level. These are called fractals. Now let's get started with the code.

mpl_finance is the new module here. We will use its candlestick_ohlc function.

+


Now, if you remember, you downloaded data for nifty 50 stocks in module 2. We shall use that data. Let's work on ITC data this time.
We will use data from 1 Jan 2021 to 30 June 2021.

Module 3-B (Bonus)

In this Bonus Module, I will attempt to teach you how to write an algorithm to create a Stock Screener based on @markminervini 's Trend Template from his book Trade Like A Stock Market Wizard.

+

Some of the readers asked about how to create a stock screener. So, I thought before jumping to the cloud and deploying an algorithm on the cloud, I should address this. Whatever algorithm we develop in this module, we will deploy it on the cloud in Module number 4.

+

Pre-requisites:

• Read Module 2, so that you can download the historical data. A small assignment for you - write code to automate EOD data download and save it in the folder. We need to have the latest data for the screener. Hint: set end_date =

The rules are:

• The LTP of the stock > 150 SMA & 200 SMA
• The 150 SMA > 200 SMA
• The 200 SMA must be greater than 200 SMA 30 days ago.
• The 50 SMA > 150 SMA & 50 SMA > 200 SMA
• The LTP > 50 SMA
• The LTP must be greater than 30% of 52-Week Low

+

• The LTP is close to 25% of the 52-Week High
• The Relative Strength(RS) should be greater than 70

SMA = Simple Moving Average
LTP = Last Traded Price

Let's get started with its coding.

1/ Thread: "A Silicon Valley Ponzi Scheme"

Thanks to @chamath for laying this out in Social Capital's 2018 annual letter.

I've always appreciated his outspokenness.

2/ The hardest thing for most startups today is the path to market: first finding product-market fit & a way to reach customers, then building a ruthless machine to acquire, monetize & retain them.

3/ Because of this, when the VC industry invests capital into fast growing startups today, the plurality (if not majority) of invested capital will go into user acquisition and ad spending, for better or worse— usually worse.

4/ Todays massive venture-backed advertising, sales, and user acquisition playbook has morphed into one that champions growth at any cost.

This is creating a big bill that will soon come due...

5/ Ad impressions and click-throughs are bid up to outrageous prices by startups flush with venture money, and prospective users demand more and more subsidized products to gain their initial attention.

1/ Something strange is happening with people’s sex lives. 20-somethings are having sex later and less frequently than previous generations. I spent several months digging into this for @theatlantic. https://t.co/5ehzmWY9wi


2/ This phenomenon—I’m calling it a Sex Recession—really surprised me. It seemed improbable in the age of Tinder, digital porn, and attitudes that are generally permissive and sex-positive.

3/ What’s happening isn’t exclusively American: Similar trends are being observed in other countries, including Japan, Australia, the U.K., Finland, and the Netherlands.


4/ One cause is obvious: Adults under 35 are less likely to be living with a partner than in recent decades, and more likely to be living with their parents—which, it’s safe to say, isn’t great for one’s sex life.

5/ But I also found other explanations, each with profound implications. The first, unsurprisingly, has to do with internet enticements. Netflix and other online entertainment may be substituting for sex.

November is here, and that means a massive shift is coming. And by "massive" I am of course referring to the redefinition of the kilogram unit of mass that the world has been building up to for more than 100 years. Let me explain:


1/ I've had an unhealthy fascination with metrology (the study of measurement) ever since my 2nd year as a physics major when I took a class devoted to duplicating historic physics experiments, so please indulge me for going into heavy detail (get it?) about the kilogram.

2/ So what actually *defines* a unit of measurement? If you're American, you probably know a mile is 5280 feet and a foot is 12 inches and an inch is 2.54 centimeters etc. But where does this chain of definitions end? Is it turtles all the way down?

3/ It's actually not! For all units (even the imperial units used in America) the answers all end with the Système International (SI) unit definitions established and maintained for over 100 years by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIMP) in France.

4/ At the base of this tower are the SI base units. Just 7 SI base units define every other unit in existence. They are:

Kilogram, kg (mass)
Meter, m (distance)
Second, s (time)
Kelvin, K (temp)
Ampere, A (electric current)
Candela, cd (luminous intensity)
Mole, mol (quantity)
