Prior research

[ikeboy]

While the utility of this project is subject to debate (see #7 and #1) , compiling existing work in one place would be undeniably useful.

I suggest we list any previous attempts at

• open source trading algorithms
• algorithms for trading, even without code
• tests with data of trading algorithms
• etc

I'll start by citing http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.1231, http://arxiv.org/abs/1406.7577, http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.466.4798&rep=rep1&type=pdf, and https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/43f4/b31d321d90f724ad5edd9b855d06db4be4a6.pdf, plus several github repos:

Obviously a lot of work has been put in their project, see the API doc:

@ikeboy thanks for starting this reference list. im at work now, but plan to do a little more research based upon it tonight.

here's another one, from #1 : http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2259133 "
