Ask HN: Software to help with investing?
Any pre-written platforms or open source software I can hack on, to help with investing in funds and/or shares?
I'm looking for something that pulls together past data, future predictions, market feeds, helps identify under-performing shares or sectors -- basically something that uses big data to help me make better decisions.
What's worked best for you?
- BWStearns 12y agoQuantopian has an interesting platform. I've only played with it but they do have a live trading system where you can have algos trade for you at 1min intervals. I forget what the max runtime is per iteration but (I'm pretty sure) you can call outside services so you could set up a private server to do analysis and mix the information to achieve more computation per iteration.
- scoutoss 12y agoIf you're specifically interested in hacking on open source software in the financial/algo trading space, Quantopian also maintains Zipline, which is an open source backtesting/financial simulation library. We'd love to get pull requests and/or feedback. You can find the source on Github here: https://github.com/quantopian/zipline https://github.com/quantopian/zipline Disclaimer: I work for Quantopian and I'm a Zipline maintainer.
- BWStearns 12y agoSorry for the delayed reply. I'll take a look! I've been meaning to play with Quantopian more but have just been in permanent crunch mode lately for work.
