Algorithmic Trading Assignment
Objective:
Develop and perform algorithmic trades and their strategies using big data in finance.
Requirements:
You are required to do the data analysis in Python. The purpose of this document set is to
perform Big Data Science and artificial intelligence in financial data mining and find out
the similarity and differences between your findings and the results of other researchers
in journal papers.
Introduction:
Algorithmic trading has become an increasingly important tool in the financial markets,
allowing traders to leverage advanced data analysis and decision-making capabilities to
generate profits. In this assignment, you will be tasked with developing and evaluating
several algorithmic trading strategies for the Chinese or Hong Kong stock market, or the
currency exchange market or commodity products in different commodity exchanges in
the world.
Procedures:
1. Selection of Investment Portfolio for initial capital $1,000,000:
1.1 Select one business sector in accordance with Global Industry Classification
Standard in Appendix 1. Each student selects his/her own business sector and no
business sector should be repeated. Design with explanation at least 3 combinations
of investment portfolio in the selected business sector including at least
1. 10 relevant industrial stocks in China (ie. Shanghai, Shenzhen or Hong
Kong Stock Markets), for example,
45101010 Internet Software & Services (8-digit number only)
i. 9988.HK - Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
ii. 0700.HK - Tencent Holdings Ltd.
iii. BIDU - Baidu, Inc.
iv. 9618.HK - JD.com, Inc.
v. PDD - PDD Holdings Inc 拼多多
vi. 600941.SS - China Moible Ltd 中國移動

2. 10 country or crypto currencies for investment portfolio,
i. USD/CNY
ii. EUR/CNY
iii. JPY/CNY
iv. GBP/CNY
v. AUD/CNY
vi. USD/BTC (Bitcoin)
3. 10 commodity products in different commodity exchanges in the world,
i. Gold (XAUUSD)
ii. Silver (XAGUSD)
iii. Crude Oil (USOIL)
iv. Copper (XCUUSD)
v. Wheat (WHEATUSD)
4. or their options, futures and derivatives

1.2 Benchmark the Investment Portfolios to relevant indices, for examples
Stock Indices in China
• Hang Seng Index
• Shanghai Composite Index
• SZSE Component Index
• CSI 300 Index
• SSE 50 Index
• SSE 180 Index
• SZSE 100 Index
• SZSE 200 Index
1.3 More than 3 investment portfolios would be counted in the bonus marks.
2. Trading Strategies
a. Design with explanation the trading strategies as follows:
1. Single Indicator-Based Strategy
Develop a trading strategy that relies on a single technical indicator, such as the
Shanghai Composite Index's 50-day moving average, the Hang Seng Index's
Relative Strength Index (RSI), or the USD/CNY exchange rate's Stochastic
Oscillator. Explain the rationale behind your chosen indicator and how it can be
used to generate buy and sell signals.
2. Multiple Indicator-Based Strategy
Create a trading strategy that combines multiple technical indicators to make
trading decisions. For example, you could use the 20-day and 50-day moving
averages of the Shenzhen Component Index, along with the MACD indicator, to
generate trading signals. Discuss how you selected the indicators and how you
integrated them into a cohesive decision-making framework.
3. Simple Neural Network AI Strategy
Implement a simple neural network-based trading strategy using stock data from
the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, or currency
exchange rates. Describe the architecture of your neural network, the input features
used (e.g., price, volume, technical indicators), and the training process. Explain
how the neural network generates trading signals.
4. Hybrid Indicator-Based and Neural Network AI Strategy
Develop a hybrid trading strategy that combines traditional technical indicators
(such as the 200-day moving average of the CSI 300 Index) with a neural network based model. Discuss the rationale for this approach and how the two components
are integrated to make trading decisions.
5. Simple Deep Learning AI Strategy
Design a deep learning-based trading strategy, such as using a recurrent neural
network (RNN) or a convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyze the historical
price and volume data of Chinese or Hong Kong stocks, or currency exchange rates.
Describe the model architecture, the input data, and the training process. Explain
how the deep learning model is used to generate trading signals.
6. Hybrid Indicator-Based and Deep Learning AI Strategy
Implement a hybrid trading strategy that integrates traditional technical indicators
(e.g., the Bollinger Bands of the Hang Seng Index) with a deep learning-based
model. Explain the benefits of this approach and how the two components work
together to make trading decisions.

7. Customized Strategies
Customize at least one trading strategy to find out the optimal trading strategy in
your investment combinations. More than one trading strategy would be
counted in the bonus marks.
3. Backtesting
For each of the trading strategies developed, perform a comprehensive backtesting
process using at least two-years historical data from the Chinese or Hong Kong
stock market, the currency exchange market or different commodity exchanges.
This should include:
1. Data Preparation: Obtain and preprocess the necessary historical market
data for your trading strategies.
2. Backtesting Methodology: Describe the backtesting methodology you will
use, including the time period, the evaluation metrics (e.g., returns,
drawdown, Sharpe ratio), and any assumptions or constraints.
3. Backtesting Analytical Results: Present the backtesting results for each
trading strategy, including performance metrics, visualizations (e.g., equity
curves), and a comparative analysis of the strategies. For example,
1. Total return
2. Sharpe ratio
3. Drawdown
4. Win/loss ratio
4. Optimization and Sensitivity Analysis (Optional): Discuss any
optimization techniques you used to improve the performance of your
trading strategies, and conduct a sensitivity analysis to understand the
impact of key parameters on the strategy's performance.
4. Real-Time Live Simulation
To further evaluate the effectiveness of your trading strategies, implement a real time live simulation using current market data from the Chinese or Hong Kong
stock market, or the currency exchange market. This should involve:
1. Data Feeds (Yahoo Finance): Integrate real-time market data feeds into
your trading system.
2. Order Execution: Develop a mechanism to execute trades based on the
signals generated by your trading strategies.
3. Performance Monitoring and its Analysis: Continuously monitor the
performance of your trading strategies in the live market, tracking key
metrics and risk-adjusted performance. For example,
1. Total return
2. Sharpe ratio
3. Drawdown
4. Win/loss ratio
4. Adaptation and Refinement: Discuss how you would adapt and refine
your trading strategies based on the insights gained from the real-time live
simulation.
* Students need to suggest their own business sector. No business sector should be
repeated.
