I feel like machine learning is to the stock exchange like regular expressions are to html: everyone who learns about the first will at some point think them to be useful for dealing with the latter.
- crucialfelix 8y agoAnd they will be wrong because HTML is a Chomsky Type 2 grammar (context-free grammar) and RegEx is a Chomsky Type 3 grammar (regular expression). RegEx has no memory or stack. There are forms of ML that have memory/stack, and I would think you have to use something more complex for the stock market than "recognizing patterns". For short term trading there are definitely useful pattern recognition systems that can effectively trade.
