TQQQ Trading Algorithm
Developing a successful trading algorithm is about finding the right balance between capturing market gains and managing risks. In this capstone project for the Flatiron School Data Science Bootcamp, I created and refined a QuantConnect trading algorithm that combines a dynamic strategy for SPY with a risk-managed approach for TQQQ. The goal was to optimize…
Skyrim Alchemy Optimizer
This Jupyter notebook can be used to maximize alchemy profitability using the ingredients you have on hand in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It uses integer linear programming from scipy.optimize.milp to determine which potions to make, and in what quantities, to maximize total value. It needs a csv file of the ingredients you have with…
RouteCat
This is a clustering traveling salesman solver for delivery, alleycats and more. Give the app a list of addresses and it will return the optimal groups for up to 4 drivers and provide the order to visit the stops to minimize travel time, and a map with the ideal route. 🔗 routecat.blakerayvid.com View on GitHub
Efficient Portfolio
This is a Python implementation of Robert C. Merton’s efficient or minimum-variance portfolio algorithm from the paper An Analytic Derivation of the Efficient Portfolio Frontier (1972). Building on the work of Harry Markowitz, Merton describes a way to assign weights to a list of securities to make a portfolio that has the lowest variance in…
