We would like to invite you to join us for two of our events in Seattle this week.
Thrifting Alpha Meetup on Thursday, July 13th
Join us for a presentation by Max Margenot, one of Quantopian's Data Scientists, on "Thrifting Alpha: Using Ensemble Learning To Revitalize Tired Alpha Factors." This meetup on July 13th is free, and food and drinks will be provided!
Finding alpha is a constant search in algorithmic trading. New alpha factors are always exciting, but sometimes you can come up with new trading signals simply by applying novel aggregation techniques to familiar factors. In this talk we will discuss using ensemble learning methods to combine individual weak signals into stronger factors and assessing their predictive power for long-short equity strategies.
RSVP and find more info here.
Algo Trading Workshop on Saturday, July 15th
