Welcome to the world of algorithmic trading! In this blog post, we’re going to explore how to implement over 20 algorithmic trading strategies using the Backtrader framework, with a particular emphasis on artificial intelligence. Whether you’re investing in the US or Taiwanese stock markets, this comprehensive guide will have you covered. Let’s dive into building and optimizing your own trading strategies!
Getting Started with AI Trader
To kick off your journey, follow these simple steps to set up the AI trading environment on your local machine:
- Clone the repository:
git https://github.com/whchien/ai-trader.git - Change directory:
cd ai-trader - Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt - (Optional) Download the data:
You can also prepare your own data if you prefer.python ai_trader_loader.py - Test the first strategy:
python ai_trader_strategy_classic_bbands.py
Understanding the Strategies
These trading strategies can be likened to various cooking recipes, each with its own unique ingredients and cooking methods:
- Single Stock Trading Strategies:

- Turtle Strategy
- Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP)
- Portfolio Trading Strategies:
- ROC Rotation
- RSRS Rotation
- Triple RSI Rotation
- Multi Bollinger Bands Rotation
- Machine Learning Based (Development):
- Logistic Regression
- Feature Engineering

- Deep Neural Networks (DNN)
- Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)
- LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory)
- Reinforcement Learning
With each strategy addressing different market behaviors and conditions, it’s essential to pick the right one for your trading objectives, much like selecting a dish based on your taste preferences and dietary needs.
Troubleshooting
As you delve into the repository, you might run into a few bumps along the way. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:
- If you encounter errors when cloning the repository, make sure you have Git installed and that you have the correct URL.
- Dependency issues? Ensure that your Python environment is properly set up and compatible with the packages in requirements.txt.
- Data download not working? Double-check that you have network access and that the URL in the script is correctly pointing to the data source.
- If a particular strategy isn’t performing as expected, consider adjusting the parameters to fit the current market conditions.
