One of the many issues with our MVP from the last post was that the candlestick pattern matcher picks up way too many hits, making the information almost indecipherable.

The skeleton of StockML exists now! After much procrastination, the actual effort it took to build a minimally viable version for myself turned out to much less than I thought. So many more ideas came out as a result of building the MVP, and I only wish that I had done it sooner, can’t wait to make my first trade reading off this app.

A technical trader uses charts and indicators to interpret market movements, assuming that the price of the underlying security “prices-in” news items. Thus it was natural to learn the ropes and get familiar with the tools I’ll be using for trading.

A little while ago I decided to take a more serious look at algorithmic trading. I had little to no trading experience or training, but I thought to myself that if I am to make it in trading, it would have to be leveraging my strength. So I dwelled myself in technical analysis immediately, only skimming theories on fundamental analysis.
