Trading Algorithms Explained - The Ultimate Guide

In this video, we're going to break down all the components that go into a typical trading algorithm by looking at the framework that the vast majority of trading algorithms follow. Furthermore, I am going to show you a platform that allows you to do everything from researching strategies, developing, testing, and hosting algorithms all in one place.

Great intro. A follow-up python based algorithmic trading from scratch as well as a shared source code repo would be even more appreciated.

[mr.takethingstooseriously]

I'm new to coding but it's a new passion of mine. I've been trading stocks and options for a few years now and can easily make 10-20% roi a month consistently. I cant wait to fully dive into this.

[ehsanhaghpanah]

big thanks for sharing your knowledge! it was absolutely valuable.

[Thedonnyyyyy]

you're a legend mate thank you very much.

[spydr]

Thanks so much for this. Your channel is absolute gem.

[henrikchristensen]

It's a very great video :) however I do miss the heartbeat pulse/data refresh data analyze frequenze and major multiple time frame conditions

[allenofatlanta]

I would definitely like to see you develop a trading algorithm using python from scratch...PLEASE!

[joerogan]

This was such a great video! It would be a great help if you were to make a series on Quantconnect. I’ve been trying it out for the past two weeks and it definitely isn’t easy 😅

Either way you’ve gained a subscriber!

@3:53 what do you mean by interactive brokers?

[deejay]

My question is that from the retail discretionary trader's point of view...."How am I going to beat the institutional algos that seemingly are always there to trade against I'd like some insight as it is the reason I came to video via search, but was a bit irrelevant to my query.

[betoperalta]

Im developing and researching trading strategies.
Particulary, Im persuiing automate scalping techniques. Whould you say that his endeavor will not worth it? The platforms usually encourages trading algos to automate portfolio mgmt.
Great presentation by the way!

[IgorMatijevic]

How long do you think does it take to be able to trade with algorithms? I could learn at least 4 hours a day. Multicharts or Python?

[aidanxx]

Great video. Do you have any actively running algos? And if yes, have any returned a profit?

[israelschurek]

I will be happy to see how you use Python for trading. Thanks for your great presentation here.

Hi Louis, great bit of knowledge.
I guess from the accent, you are from Germany? What university teach such knowledge on trading+ coding?
Are you self learner, or there are study programs teaching all of these?
Thinking of any suggestions for my kid for path forward 🤔
Best

Hey Louis,
I'm Indian student studying in Germany and I want trade US stocks and options. Can you please suggest me a reliable international broker for trading.
Btw I find all your videos very useful. Keep sharing the same knowledge with the community.
Thank you!!

[GerardoNQ]

hi could you make a video making a algorithm in python for Future like NASDAQ or SP500? it would be great

[smartmoney]

which trading platform does this support? Does this work with Robinhood?

[brianscarlett]

I would like to see you develop an algorithm using Python!

[omairtech]

I love your accent. Where are you originally from, if you don't mind me asking?
