If you into quant and trading, this is good book to buy.

IntegralBill Aug 20, 2019

I was very excited when I first found this book. For a couple of years, I've been looking for a good book on algorithmic training using Python. Some popular books that I found, prior to this book's release, typically gave examples in MatLab, R, or were just too complex. Better yet, this book is very modern, including chapters on popular Deep Learning (DL), Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and Reinforcement Learning (RL)!This book reads well; but, you will need to put in some work. After buying this book, the next thing I recommend is downloading the author's code from GitHub! This will help you understand what is going on while giving you hands-on experience.Some comments mention that there are some missing chapters. If you e-mail the author, Stefan Jansen, he will send you these chapters! This author is very approachable and helpful if you have any questions, suggestions, etc.!Note: I purchased this book direct from the publisher's website, early in 2019 (Packt).

Good book

Quite puzzled by some of the negative comments given here as in general this is a field with an ever changing landscape and to dive-in and demonstrate some of the nuances experienced in the field is quite a daring move to say the least!Ignoring the nay sayers, for a book of this size and nature, you'd have to adopt an iterative approach. Specifically, do an initial pass at one or more chapters of interest to get a feel of the challenges, google on topics of interest to gain more supporting background, and then follow through with a final pass to appreciate the related material.Stefan Jansen (the author) does not shy away from sharing his insights nor detailed level codes on just about every practical challenges encountered in machine/deep learning, pertaining to algo-trading; so all kudos for retaining 'walk the talk' approach throughout the book.In all, Stefan is among those few authors (5%) who actually know what they're talking about!Matthew
