Trading strategies are the essence of buying and selling in the markets. Many traders have their reasons to participate. A strategy begins with an idea which then transforms into a feasibility study, before a back-test, and finally, live implementation and real-time evaluation. In this article, we will start with the basic idea of just using basic financial data to derive trading signals, then we will see if it is feasible, before back-testing it and judging its performance.

I have just published a new book after the success of New Technical Indicators in Python. It features a more complete description and addition of complex trading strategies with a Github page dedicated to the continuously updated code.
