Algorithmic Short Selling with Python
This book will take you on a journey from an idea (“buy bullish stocks, sell bearish ones”) to becoming part of the elite club of long/short algorithmic traders. Along the way, we will explore several key concepts, such as trading edge, frequency, signal processing, trading psychology, capital efficiency, risk management, and asset allocation, one stumbling block at a time.
