AmiBroker Technical Platform Meeting
December 2020.
Presenter: Dr. Howard Bandy of Blue Owl Press
Topic: “Transition to Machine Learning for Trading - Part III”
From Dr. Bandy...
"The third installment will be a little about data, with the remainder all Python. Since AmiBroker is a Windows-0nly program, I will demonstrate how to download and install Python to work within Windows. Then a short presentation about IDEs that work well, 'environments' and how to use them, and project file structure.
I will demonstrate three Python machine learning programs.
1. A simple classification using the Iris database.
2. A simple regression using the home price database.
3. A trading system that can be used as a template for members to begin their own research."
