Book Description
Finance touches every part of your life, from the prices you pay at the grocery store to whether your retirement portfolio can weather the next market crash. But understanding financial markets has traditionally meant either a finance degree or trusting someone else to manage your money.
This book takes a different approach. Instead of abstract theory, you’ll explore financial concepts by writing Elixir code. Fetch real economic data, build technical trading indicators, and backtest strategies against actual market history. You’ll see how the models behave, and decide for yourself what works.
The trading strategies covered in this book are commonly used by fund managers, traders, and hedge funds to evaluate markets. The difference is you’ll implement them yourself, in a language you already know.
Fetch and analyze real economic data from the FRED API
Pull down the latest stock market data from Yahoo! Finance
Calculate risk and return for your portfolio across stocks, crypto, and commodities
Build technical trading indicators and backtest them against actual market history
Map risk-return tradeoffs and evaluate portfolio diversification
By the end of the book, you’ll understand how financial markets work and have Elixir tools to analyze your own portfolio and investments.
