In this post we will discuss how to do a time series modelling using ARMA and ARIMA models. Here AR stands for Auto-Regressive and MA stands for Moving Average

In finance, computation efficiency can be directly converted to trading profits sometimes. Quants are facing the challenges of trading off research efficiency with computation efficiency. Using Python can produce succinct research codes, which improves research efficiency. However, vanilla Python code is known to be slow and not suitable for production. In this post, I explore how to use Python GPU libraries to achieve the state-of-the-art performance in the domain of exotic option pricing.
Lots of quantitative risk metrics for analyzing your backtest and trading performance. Created by Quantopian for their popular Zipline backtesting framework, this library works totally independently.
One of the milestones of the investment management application was to implement an end to end solution that starts by fetching company stock prices and builds a set of efficient and optimum portfolios using optimisation routines.
This is a collection of Jupyter notebooks based on different topics in the area of quantitative finance. Wow!
Stock Market Trend Analysis with Python medium.com
The purpose of this article is to introduce the reader to some of the tools used to spot stock market trends.
We will utilize a data set consisting of five years of daily stock market data for Analog Devices. The time period we consider starts on January 1, 2013 and ends on December 31, 2017. We will start analyzing the data using line plots, then introduce candlestick charts. Patterns that can be seen in the candlestick chart will be introduced which can be used to spot changes in the market. We add another of level analysis by overlaying moving averages and discussing how these can help confirm trend changes. Finally, we construct a figure that concisely summarizes the stock price data for any company.
CVA in the Cloud with NAG nag.com
NAG has developed, in collaboration with Xi-FINTIQ, a CVA demonstration code to show how the NAG Library and NAG Algorithmic Differentiation (AD) tool dco/c++ combined with Origami – a Grid/Cloud Task Execution Framework available through NAG – can work together to solve large scale CVA computations.
Calculating Black-Scholes implied volatilities is a key part of financial modelling, and is not easy to do efficiently.
The benchmark in this field is the iterative method due to Peter Jaeckel (2015), though some banks have their own methods. NAG have teamed up with Dr Kathrin Glau and her colleagues from Queen Mary University of London to see whether their research in Chebyshev interpolation could be combined with NAG’s expertise in efficient computing to provide a faster way of obtaining implied volatilities.
