Glad to meet you. I'm currently a student at Columbia University studying Financial Engineering, and want to give an overview of the projects I'm working on!</p>
<p>To start things off, Columbia has been hosting a trading competition that myself and another partner are competing in. I'm including a notebook of the algorithm that we're using, just to give a simple overview of a miniature algorithm.</p>
<p>The competition is scored in 3 areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Total return</li>
<li><a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpe_ratio target=_blank rel="noopener noreferrer">Sharpe ratio</a></li>
<li>Maximum drawdown</li>
</ul>
<p>Our algorithm uses a basic momentum strategy: in the given list of potential portfolios, pick the stocks that have been performing well in the past 30 days. Then, optimize for return subject to the drawdown being below a specific level. We didn't include the Sharpe ratio as a constraint, mostly because we were a bit late entering the competition.</p>
<p>I'll be updating this post with the results of our algorithm as they come along!</p>
<hr>
<p><strong>UPDATE 12/5/2015</strong>: Now that the competition has ended, I wanted to update how the algorithm performed. Unfortunately, it didn't do very well. I'm planning to make some tweaks over the coming weeks, and do another forward test in January.</p>
<ul>
<li>After week 1: Down .1%</li>
<li>After week 2: Down 1.4%</li>
<li>After week 3: Flat</li>
</ul>
<p>And some statistics for all teams participating in the competition:</p>
<table><thead><tr><th>Statistic<th>Value<tbody><tr><td>Max Return<td>74.1%<tr><td>Min Return<td>-97.4%<tr><td>Average Return<td>-.1%<tr><td>Std Dev of Returns<td>19.6%</table>
