Quick question about pattern detection training #152

saleh-old commented 6 years ago

I'm looking to train a few models using Tensorflow, let's say (I'm not sure yet) for more candlestick patterns. Could you please let me know from your experience, how many examples of each chart pattern I would need for the model to work accurate enough? 10? 100? 1000? 10000? You see where this is going 😆

Candlestick patterns has clear logic to identify, so it would be better to find candlestick patterns in traditional programming. I am assuming you are trying to identify chart patterns which is complicated, I used to get good results with tens of thousands of patterns, I mostly used a combination of synthetic and organic data. Getting the organic data is the key for accurate prediction which is very difficult

@anandanand84 Of course, I'm talking about complicated patterns like those you did. I intend to do it more often for patterns found in this book: "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns".

I'm working on an advanced trading bot written in TypeScript that so far has:

A clear interface to implement strategies in.
Uses WebSocket connection to interact with the exchange.
An advanced backTest mode.
Genetic algorithm integration used for tuning.
A basic implementation of deep learning using TensorflowJS (working fine on GPU).
a lot more.

Would you like to have a chat? Maybe we can help each other out.
