Algorithmic Trading Using Logistic Regression - Hands-Off Investing

With the increasing popularity of machine learning, many traders are looking for ways in which they can "teach" a computer to trade for them. This process is called algorithmic trading (sometimes called algo-trading). Algorithmic trading is a hands off strategy for buying and selling stocks that leverages technical indicators instead of human intuition. In order to implement an algorithmic trading strategy though, you have to first narrow down a list of stocks that you want to analyze. This walk-through provides an automated process (using python and logistic regression) for determining the best stocks to algo-trade.
