Hands-On AI Trading with Python, QuantConnect, and AWS

Jiri Pik · Ernest P. Chan · Jared Broad · Philip Sun · Vivek Singh

Hands-On AI Trading with Python, QuantConnect, and AWS explores real-world applications of AI technologies in algorithmic trading. Unlike other books, this one focuses on teaching intuition in designing complete trading strategies rather than explaining how to set up backtesting infrastructure. It utilizes QuantConnect and its market data from Algoseek and others.

The book explains more than twenty representative examples of AI in trading, written in Python, with performance tearsheets or research Jupyter notebooks covering Equity, Equity Options, Crypto, FX, and Index Option asset classes — with source code available in the book’s GitHub repository.
