- Under development

Trading systems based on computer and artificial intelligence are gaining in popularity. The interest for stocks is also rapidly growing as reported by Reuters in a recent article “Stocks beats sex in Google China“. Despite a very bad 2008 portfolio startup, I’ve gained some experience with the markets and my recent readings suggested that I should look deeper in technical analysis. While I’ve always traded based on the fundamentals, ignoring the existing patterns generated by stocks is rejecting the most robust tool for an investor.

Unfortunately, my busy life and my interest in spending my time in something else than daytrading have always kept my eyes away from technical analysis since it requires alot of computation and research to detect some known patterns. This kind of task is trivial and the quantity of results depends on my capacity to analyse any available information. I wondered why wouldn’t I code a system that would compute and detect any pattern in the market. A computer can effectively gather alot more data than I could ever manage and it’s precision to find patterns should be easily customizable. For sure, such a system would surpass my capacity and skills to succeed in daytrading. Various systems, such as NinjaTrader and Visual Trading Systems, allow people to integrate algorithms to manage their portfolio. Some very mysterious project such as FatKat and reasearches from the professor Michael Kearns are already under heavy development. Is it too late to jump-in and build a competitor ? Certainly not, this isn’t about social-networking !
