Prototyping trading strategies in Python

Getting started

  1. Make sure you have Python 3.6 installed on your computer. Follow these instructions if you don't.

  1. You can verify that you have the correct and working version by running python3 --version. It should print Python 3.6.3 or Python 3.6.1 for example.

  2. Install pipenv, a modern Python package manager, by running pip3 install pipenv (or brew install pipenv on macOS). See this guide for more details.

  3. Create a new empty directory called ki-workshop and move to it in your terminal (cd ki-workshop).

  4. Run the following command to install all the Python packages we will need to run our code:

    pipenv install pandas==0.21.0 plotly==2.2.1 jupyter==1.0.0 scipy==1.0.0 statsmodels==0.8.0 numpy==1.13.3

  5. We will be using Jupyter Notebook to prototype our strategy. Check that it works for you by running the following command. It should open a web browser window for you.

    pipenv run jupyter notebook

  6. Stay tuned for the code and data you will be provided at the December 7 workshop!
