Bitcoin Predictor pt. 2

Building on my first attempt at building a bitcoin predictor, there’s a few things I’ve decided to change. Starting with keeping a record of the bitcoin trading info and saving the new one with the necessary created fields in a new file. I also changed the bitcoin_game so instead of asking for a start_index of which date to start with i.e. the row you use the date and it will match it with the row. The advantage is since editing the data frame might create NA’s and dropping the NA’s might lead to a shift in the expected index of the date so making it dynamic makes it simpler to run the game starting from a specific date.

So here’s the code for the new bitcoin game.

Also the other data frame had a predict column with the following value: 50,0, -50, -75 and -100 which at first was supposed to be in relative to the action taken in percentage withdraw/invest with a small but where 0 would be the equivalent of 100 and with no median of 0. With the new data frame I recreated the field with the range of 2 to -2 using the code below

As you can also tell the range of 2 as the highest sign of a positive trend and -4 as the clearest sign of a negative trend with 0 as the intermediate point where there’s likely a shift towards up or down.

To get the distribution of the values

df['Predict'].value_counts()
>>>
-2    1194
-1     666
 2     627
 0     405
 1      14
Name: Predict, dtype: int64

Graphing the distribution

#make plot bigger
plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (20,10)
plt.plot(df2.index, df2['Value Norm'], c='g')
plt.scatter(df2.index, df2['Predict'], c='b', alpha=0.3)
plt.show()

Just for curiosity purposes to tell the distribution relative to the price normalized.

There’s more predictions of lows than ups, good thing is with the game I can simulate actual investment cycle and get back profit/loss which can be compared with the prediction and using this I can filter out the wrong predictions, key feature in making good investment ideas. I don’t predict the price, this predicts an expected upward or downward trend based on today’s price compared with data from the last 7 days. Here’s the code for the player that returns this info

First comparison of the last prediction which mainly would predict a profit as a loss as mainly -75 when there was a profit

This only predicts a profit when there was a loss at the edge of profit and loss: predict value of 0.

My final step for now is to see how well two ML predictors are at deducing the same.

This performed as poorly with the other dataframe then there’s random forest

It performed less than on the other data frame with .97 i.e. 97% accuracy and this time 80% accuracy but with this prediction column there’s more accuracy and in the last I used an else for anything that didn’t match any of the if statements with a default prediction of 50, this one without such a clause has more of that what if problem scenarios and so if in the same sense the classifier is likely to miss out with a wrong prediction in the 0 columns. I could make another prediction without the 0 predictions to confirm my hunch but I’m satisfied for now with this.

I also added a double check clause that keeps track of the predictions above the bitcoin game and player_1 records the profit/loss or no change in price in this categories of 2 to -2 and this is the final result of the spread.

predictions
>>>
{-2: {'draw': 24, 'loss': 459, 'profit': 711},
 -1: {'draw': 15, 'loss': 398, 'profit': 252},
 0: {'draw': 3, 'loss': 95, 'profit': 307},
 1: {'draw': 1, 'loss': 4, 'profit': 9},
 2: {'draw': 12, 'loss': 396, 'profit': 219}}

Graphing this also comes out like this

df2 = pd.DataFrame(predictions)
#Flip columns and rows
df3 = df2.T
df3.plot(kind='bar')

My predictor has the highest profit and loss for -2 “far left columns” and to the far right 2. Red is “draw”, blue is “loss” and the purplish is “profit”.

One more unexpected observation is the first round with the cab starting from date: 10–9–2010 player_2 made $20.5 million total on the second try with a start date of 8–29–2010 the total amount was $15.7 million, less when it starting with an earlier date than the first try. This felt like maybe the edited code might have made an unexpected bug but doing the same with the older version of player_2 with the newer dataframe returned the same result.

The reason for this I concluded was the function suffers from the chaos theory where a slight change in the initial settings can lead to different results. You’d expect investing earlier and wisely this function would always outperform any other iteration starting later but because it makes a move: withdrawal/investment as a fraction of amount existing this creates a diversion that can go either way but generally for the better.

If intrinsically the stock market seems a bit chaotic and this seema to reap rewards I’m eager to try it on other stocks and learn some more.
