🚨BREAKING: A new Python library for algorithmic trading.

Introducing TensorTrade: An open-source Python framework for trading using Reinforcement Learning (AI) Image
TensorTrade is an open source Python framework for building, training, evaluating, and deploying robust trading algorithms using reinforcement learning leveraging:

- numpy
- pandas
- gym
- keras
- tensorflow
Example: Using TensorTrade to Train and Evaluate with Reinforcement Learning

Step 1: Create training and evaluation sets

We'll start by creating a training and evaluation set as CSV files. Image
Step 2: Create a Configuration

Here we are using the config dictionary to store the CSV filename that we need to read. Image
Step 3: Initialize and run with Ray

Now it’s time to initialize and run Ray, passing all the parameters necessary, including the name of the environment creator function (create_env defined above). Image
Next Steps: Reward Agents

Reward Agents (AI) bring a new capability to allow Reinforcement Learning to integrate a reward system that allows the Agent to optimize the strategy to a reward (e.g. profit). Image
Performance:

Here's a performance chart of a reward-optimized example. Image

How to make a simple algorithmic trading strategy with a 472% return using Python.

A thread. 🧵 Image
This strategy takes advantage of "flow effects", which is how certain points in time influence the value of an asset.

This strategy uses a simple temporal shift to determine when trades should exit relative to their entry for monthly boundary conditions. Image
The signals for when to go short, when to cover shorts, when to go long, and when to close longs are all linked to these recurring monthly cycles.

This periodic "flow" of signals—month-in, month-out—creates a systematic pattern. Image
