Companion code repository for the book 'Machine Learning for Trading, 3rd Edition' by Stefan Jansen, containing 446+ Jupyter notebooks across 27 chapters and 9 case studies covering the full ML-for-trading workflow from data sourcing to live execution. It is paired with six production Python libraries (ml4t-data, ml4t-engineer, ml4t-models, ml4t-diagnostic, ml4t-backtest, ml4t-live) and covers gradient boosting, deep time-series models, reinforcement learning, RAG, and autonomous trading agents.

Use cases

• learn machine learning for algorithmic trading end to end
• backtest ML-driven trading strategies in Python
• fetch and store market data from multiple providers
• engineer financial features and triple-barrier labels without leakage
• validate trading signals with deflated Sharpe ratio
• run reinforcement learning trading agents
• apply LLMs and RAG to financial research
• deploy a strategy to a live broker like Alpaca or Interactive Brokers

When to choose

• you are studying the ML4T book and want runnable code for every chapter
• you want a complete reference workflow from raw market data to live execution
• you need worked examples of backtesting, feature engineering, and strategy validation
• you want to learn modern additions like GenAI, RAG, and multi-agent systems applied to trading

When to avoid

• you need a single production trading system rather than educational notebooks
• you want a no-code or GUI trading platform
• you are not comfortable with Python, notebooks, and quantitative finance concepts
• you need guaranteed profitable strategies - this teaches methodology, not signals
