What software do you use to implement algorithms like this? Do you have to write your own python/other scripts and interact with trading API's for whatever service you use, or are there nice pre-written open source trading algorithms that make building stuff like this easier.
- Kibae 5y agoI just downloaded historical data on Yahoo Finance and parsed the CSV files. There are definitely more efficient ways to do this.
