How can I leverage the knowledge acquired from the courses to develop a screening tool that generates alerts based on trading signals generated by machine learning algorithms?

Hi Mark,
Developing a screening tool that generates alerts based on trading signals from machine learning algorithms involves multiple steps:
- Objective of the screener: What are you aiming for with your screening tool? Are you looking for buy/sell signals, trend changes, or something else?
- Algorithm Choice: You have learned multiple ML algorithms in the course. Pick a machine learning algorithm that fits your goals.
- Data Collection: Get the relevant financial data, like price history and indicators. Clean it up and make sure everything's in order.
- Feature Selection: Figure out which features matter most. This might involve creating technical indicators or statistical measures.
- Training and Validation: Split your data, train your model, and fine-tune it for better performance.
- Signal Generation: Use your trained model to generate trading signals. Define when to buy or sell based on the criteria you've set.
- Tool Implementation: Build the tool that watches real-time or historical market data. Make it generate alerts when your criteria are met.
- Backtesting: Test how well your tool would have performed in the past. This helps you refine your strategy.
- Risk Management: Implement ways to manage risks, like setting stop-loss levels or controlling the size of your positions.
- Continuous Monitoring: Keep an eye on your tool in real-world conditions. Update your model and strategy as needed.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for your assistance. I am seeking guidance on whether there exists a pre-existing template for constructing a python and MT5 Forex screener interface. Additionally, I am in the process of intregating a machine learning algorithm, specifically based on Support Vector Machines (SVM), to generate buy or sell signals. Any insights or resources you can provide on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Mark,
