Recommended PC Specifications
The Deep Signal Library was designed to take full advantage of modern PC architecture. To achieve the highest possible level of performance, the Deep Signal Library will utilize all available CPU cores and additional memory resources. Depending on your actual usage with the Deep Signal Library, you may need more or less resources than the average user. Additional memory will be of direct benefit when running strategy optimizations, and the amount of additional memory needed is proportional to the number of CPU cores available. Please take note though the DST Library would not support multiple processor groups, grouping would occur should a system with over 64 logical processors be utilized.
•2 (GHz) or faster quad core 64-bit processor
•8 GB RAM
•DirectX 10 compatible graphics card
•SSD Hard Drive
Data Recommendations
When creating machine learning models it is recommended that you use continuous price data. For equities this is generally not a problem. If you are trading futures or other instruments that have a contract expiration date then please remember to download continuous contract data. For some data feeds you may need to use ticker symbols such as ES ##-## or NQ ##-##.
Trading Platform Recommendations
NinjaTrader is required for use with the Deep Signal Library
Futures, foreign currency and options trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
