grananqvist/awesome-quant-machine-learning-trading

This repository is a curated reading list for people interested in applying machine learning to financial trading and quantitative investing. It is an "awesome list", a format common on GitHub where the goal is to collect the best-quality external resources on a topic rather than provide original code. The author notes that low-quality resources have been deliberately excluded, and personal favorites are marked with a star. The list is organized into categories: books, online courses, YouTube videos, blogs, academic papers, GitHub repositories of trading code, and datasets. On the books side, it covers titles aimed at practitioners who want to build algorithmic trading systems using statistical and machine learning methods. The online courses include offerings from Udacity with partners like Georgia Tech and WorldQuant, as well as a multi-part Coursera specialization from NYU covering reinforcement learning applied to finance. The YouTube and interview sections lean toward practitioners and researchers who have worked in quantitative hedge funds or algorithmic trading firms. Several entries are podcast episodes or recorded webinars rather than traditional video tutorials, with guests discussing topics like avoiding overfitting in trading strategies and using deep learning for market prediction. The academic papers section covers research on topics such as analyzing limit order books with deep learning, using natural language processing on financial news, and portfolio optimization methods. A separate section lists GitHub repositories that contain actual trading code, which separates hands-on implementation resources from the reading material. The list covers both traditional quantitative approaches and more recent deep learning applications to markets. It does not contain any code of its own. The README is the entire content of the repository.
