Visualizza un indicatore e intuiscine lo scopo - I

Ora visualizzerai questi indicatori per capire perché potresti volerli usare e cosa rappresentano. Ricorda che un indicatore di trend cerca di prevedere se un prezzo continuerà nella direzione attuale, mentre un indicatore di reversione cerca di prevedere se un prezzo in aumento calerà a breve, o viceversa.

In questo esercizio, riprenderai la SMA a 200 giorni. Come promemoria, questo indicatore cerca di rendere i prezzi più regolari, ma con un compromesso: il ritardo. Traccerai i prezzi di SPY e sovrapporrai una SMA a 200 giorni alla serie dei prezzi. Con queste informazioni, stabilirai se si tratta di un indicatore di trend o di reversione.

I pacchetti quantmod e TTR e la serie di prezzi SPY sono stati caricati nel tuo workspace.

In this chapter, you will learn the definition of trading, the philosophies of trading, and the pitfalls that exist in trading. This chapter covers both momentum and oscillation trading, along with some phrases to identify these types of philosophies. You will learn about overfitting and how to avoid it, obtaining and plotting financial data, and using a well-known indicator in trading.

Exercise 1: Why do people trade?Exercise 2: Identifying types of trading philosophies - I Exercise 3: Identifying types of trading philosophies - II Exercise 4: Identifying types of trading philosophies - III Exercise 5: Pitfalls of various trading systems Exercise 6: How to prevent overfitting Exercise 7: Getting financial data Exercise 8: Plotting financial data Exercise 9: Adding indicators to financial data Exercise 10: Adding a moving average to financial data

Before building a strategy, the quantstrat package requires you to initialize some settings. In this chapter you will learn how this is done. You will cover a series of functions that deal with initializing a time zone, currency, the instruments you'll be working with, along with quantstrat's various frameworks that will allow it to perform analytics. Once this is done, you will have the knowledge to set up a quantstrat initialization file, and know how to change it.

Indicators are crucial for your trading strategy. They are transformations of market data that allow a clearer understanding of its overall behavior, usually in exchange for lagging the market behavior. Here, you will be working with both trend types of indicators as well as oscillation indicators. You will also learn how to use pre-programmed indicators available in other libraries as well as implement one of your own.

When constructing a quantstrat strategy, you want to see how the market interacts with indicators and how indicators interact with each other. In this chapter you'll learn how indicators can generate signals in quantstrat. Signals are interactions of market data with indicators, or indicators with other indicators. There are four types of signals in quantstrat: sigComparison, sigCrossover, sigThreshold, and sigFormula. By the end of this chapter, you'll know all about these signals, what they do, and how to use them.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to shape your trading transaction once you decide to execute on a signal. This chapter will cover a basic primer on rules, and how to enter and exit positions. You'll also learn how to send inputs to order-sizing functions. By the end of this chapter, you'll learn the gist of how rules function, and where you can continue learning about them.

Exercise 1: Introduction to rules Exercise 2: Using add.rule() to implement an exit rule Exercise 3: Specifying sigcol in add.rule()Exercise 4: Specifying sigval in add.rule()Exercise 5: More rule mechanics Exercise 6: Specifying orderqty in add.rule()Exercise 7: Specifying ordertype in add.rule()Exercise 8: Specifying orderside in add.rule()Exercise 9: More rule mechanics II Exercise 10: Specifying replace in add.rule()Exercise 11: Specifying prefer in add.rule()Exercise 12: Using add.rule() to implement an entry rule Exercise 13: Order sizing functions Exercise 14: Implementing a rule with an order sizing function

After a quantstrat strategy has been constructed, it's vital to know how to actually analyze the strategy's performance. This chapter details just that. You will learn how to read vital trade statistics, and view the performance of your trading strategy over time. You will also learn how to get a reward to risk ratio called the Sharpe ratio in two different ways. This is the last chapter.
