Hands-on Financial Trading with Python - Second Edition (Early Access)

Most Python trading books teach libraries in isolation. This book teaches you the complete workflow professionals use to build systematic strategies. The book walks you through the complete journey. You start by acquiring and cleaning market data, handling the messy realities of missing values and misaligned time series. With clean data in hand, you move into exploration: visualizing market relationships, forming trading hypotheses, and identifying patterns worth pursuing. Signal generation follows naturally from that analysis. You build indicators, define entry and exit rules, then validate everything through rigorous backtesting using walk-forward analysis and out-of-sample testing. The final stage: evaluating performance with institutional-grade metrics and deploying your strategy for automated execution.
