$15-25 USD / hour

I'm looking for a coder to write some software (likely in python or r) that will return the strongest correlation coefficient between 2 securities in a dataset. It would need to compare every single security against every other security in the dataset and return the security parings with the highest positive as well as negative correlation. The purpose is to identify securities that typical trade in unison for trade opportunities. At the end of the project I would need to own the rights to the code. This could end up being a long term project with ends up being commercialized. Coders who already have historic datasets and experience with similar financial research will be preferred. Please

Hello! I am a professional programmer with several years of Python programming experience. I have written trading software before, but more importantly I can code anything that I am provided the data for. This project involves comparing two sets of data with a defined set of rules, something I have coded many times in the past. I can also provide examples of code I have written; please contact me so that I may share files and so that we may speak further. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to work with you soon.

I have done this kind of analysis for another client. I would suggest to take the data from quandl.com. I could deliver a web app for a reasonable price to filter the quandl database and visualize the results. No worries, if you need a higher than daily frequencies. We will find a solution, but I am sure that we can find a lot of valuable insight using daily data from quandl. For backtesting I would suggest quantopian.com. Looking forward to a job interview. I will be available from 9:00 to 17.00 on any weekday (I am located in Vienna, Austria). best regards, Joerg.

★★ Machine learning expert and software architect based in the United States - feel free to message me to discuss requirements prior to the project being awarded. ☞ How I Can Help You: I have actually worked on machine learning applications involving streaming market data before so I'm familiar with the data set characteristics. I think the most important thing to a project like yours is to make sure that the correlations you identify will hold up in the future. doing so requires looking at more than just the raw ticker data - and while it adds complexity, it also provides a greater level of confidence in future production. Shoot me a message so we can discuss your specific requirements and plan. Afterwards I will propose a set of milestones. ☞ About Me: My name is Tom Griffin, I'm based in the United States, and I have fifteen years of experience in a variety of technology and business roles.

Hi I'm Diego Forteza and I have a degree in statistics from Universidad de la República del Uruguay. I've been using R almost every day for the last 7 years, calculation of correlations (linear or non linear) won't be a problem, I could do both calculations and give you both results. Cheers, Diego

Hello, I have 4 years of experience programming financial analysis tools. My portfolio contains only one item (a personal project) because all of my projects have been under an NDA. However, the one item is very relevant to this project (a correlation matrix built from historical forex data). You should hire someone that knows Python's limitations, how to optimize Python, and convert Python to C (if needed) and/or build C bindings for Python. That person is me. Why? Let's say you want to find the highest positive correlation between two stocks listed on the NYSE and you want to use the daily close price for the computations. Correlation has to be calculated for all permutations (e.g., correlation of A,B, correlation of A,C, correlation of A,D, and so on and then correlation of B,A; B,C; B,D etc.). That means, correlation has to be calculated 7,837,200 times. Let's say the data set contains 252 close prices for each symbol (1 year's worth of data). Consider how many calculations have to be done just to get one correlation value: covarianceX,Y / (stdevX * stdevY) (>3026 calculations for 252 prices). That is at least 23,715,367,200 calculations. Think about if you wanted to calculate this over 20 years of daily prices (~20*3026*7,837,200) ...

I can bring to the table solid knowledge in the Financial Analysis and Research areas as well as access to historical securities data to test the algorithm. For this project the ideal language is R From the project description it seems that the work consists in creating the pairwise correlation matrix of a set of securities. In addition to the highest positive and negative correlation this will produce all of the correlations among every pair of securities that could be used for more complex trading algorithms.
