A target variable is something that a machine learning algorithm tries to predict. And in order to do that, it requires input variables, which are called features. Once you have these, the next step is to split the dataset into training and testing sets and then finally train the model and make predictions. This section covers all these steps in detail, along with practical implementation in Python.Target Variable2mChoose the Target Variable5mFeatures2mUse of Features5mCharacteristics of Features5mCreating Features and Target Variable5mCreate the Target Variable5mCalculate RSI5mSplitting and Scaling the Data5mScaling the Data5mScaling Timeline5mXGBoost Model5mTraining a Model5mFAQs on XGBoost Classifier2m- Metrics to Evaluate a ClassifierUntil now, we have analysed the strategy based on performance metrics, like Sharpe ratio, drawdown, CAGR, etc. But how do we analyse the performance of the classifier? We can do that by checking the accuracy, recall and other metrics specific to the classifier.

Selecting the Right Features
In machine learning, you have to strike a delicate balance between the number of features used to create a model, and the processing capabilities of the model itself. It would be great to have thousands of features but it will lead to complexity and higher computation time for the model. In this section, you will try to reduce the features while keeping an eye on the information lost as well.Part Overview2mSelecting the Right Features2mImportance of Feature Selection5mCalculation of Feature Importance5mXGBoost and Feature Importance5mDecision to Remove Features5mDecision on Removal of Features5mVisualising Feature Importance with XGBoost5mCreate an Instance of XGBClassifier5mTrain the Model Using the Training Data5mCalculate Feature Importance5mSummary2m- Reducing Features While Minimising Information LossRanking Features in terms of their predictive power and then selecting the top features is one method to reduce features. However, this leads to information loss from the discarded features. Is there another method to reduce the features but to preserve as much information as possible? You will find out in this section.Reducing Features While Minimising Information Loss2mConcern Regarding Feature Selection5mSuggestion to Minimise Information Loss5mPurpose of Autoencoder5m
Application of Encoder for Multiple Features
An encoder takes multiple features and converts them into fewer features.

- Can the python strategies provided in the course be immediately used for trading?
We focus on teaching these quantitative and machine learning techniques and how learners can use them for developing their own strategies. You may or may not be able to directly use them in your own system. Please do note that we are not advising or offering any trading/investment services. The strategies are used for learning & understanding purposes and we don't take any responsibility for the performance or any profit or losses that using these techniques results in.
- I want to develop my own algorithmic trading strategy. Can I use a Quantra course notebook for the same?
Quantra environment is a zero-installation solution to get beginners to start off with coding in Python. While learning you won't have to download or install anything! However, if you wish to later implement the learning on your system, you can definitely do that. All the notebooks in the Quantra portal are available for download at the end of each course and they can be run in the local system just the same as they run in the portal. The user can modify/tweak/rework all such code files as per his need. We encourage you to implement different concepts learnt from different learning tracks into your trading strategy to make it more suited to the real-world scenario.
- If I plug in the Quantra code to my trading system, am I sure to make money?
No. We provide you guidance on how to create strategy using different techniques and indicators, but no strategy is plug and play. A lot of effort is required to backtest any strategy, after which we fine-tune the strategy parameters and see the performance on paper trading before we finally implement the live execution of trades.

It's important to note that "lifetime" refers to the lifetime of the course itself—if the platform or course is discontinued for any reason, we will inform you in advance. This will allow you enough time to download or access any course materials you need for future use.
- How can ML be used in momentum trading?
Machine learning (ML) can be used in momentum trading to analyse historical market data and identify patterns or trends that may not be apparent through traditional methods. ML algorithms can predict future price movements, generate trading signals, and optimise trading strategies based on the identified patterns.
- What advantages do ML approaches offer in momentum trading compared to traditional methods?
ML approaches offer several advantages in momentum trading, including the ability to analyse large datasets quickly, identify complex patterns, and adapt to changing market conditions.
- What types of data inputs are used in the ML approach for momentum trading?
The ML approach for momentum trading utilises various types of data inputs, including historical price data, trading volumes, technical indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI), etc. These inputs help ML algorithms in identifying patterns and making predictions.
- Are there specific limitations or risks associated with ML for momentum trading?
While ML offers significant advantages, there are also specific limitations and risks associated with its use in momentum trading. These include overfitting, where the model performs well on historical data but fails to generalise to new data.
- . How adaptable are these ML strategies to changing market conditions?
ML strategies in momentum trading can be relatively adaptable to changing market conditions compared to traditional methods. ML algorithms can learn from new data and adjust trading strategies accordingly, allowing them to capture evolving market trends and dynamics. However, continuous monitoring and periodic updates to the model are necessary to ensure its effectiveness in evolving market environments.
