Python Stock Trader Help/Tips/Methods

Hi, I have been recently working with Python and websites such as Quantopian. I have been interested in investing far before I learned programming, and so it was only natural that I drawn to combining the two.

I am asking, as the title suggests, for tips, methods, and any help you can provide as to how to get started. How could I get the necessary stock data? How would I, most likely using numPy, sciPy, etc., process the data. And (not exactly last question) what algorithms could I use?

One algorithm I have seen being used would be to observe the current zoomed in graph of a stock, and the search for similar occurrences in the past years to make a prediction.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'd try ARIMA model, as this seems the most adequate for time series data and time-dependent patterns.
In Python, the most commonly used lib for this is statsmodels.
