I'm also building a data driven (mostly NLP) portfolio optimizer, based on expected utility theory! It's a naive model, but it also has statistical bounds on its efficiency relative to the regret, which is an interesting bonus.

Out of curiosity, what kind of model (loss function) are you using?

I wonder if you and I are working on the same thing. ;) I'm building infrastructure that I'm hoping will be needed to complete the Stockfighter trading puzzles. ( Hoping , because it's entirely possible that I will be lied too far less than the documentation leads me to believe, and I won't need all of this sanity checking.)

Sort of.

Stockfighter is great and serves as a great introduction to the field. However I am building something aimed for "the real world".

The system will, after being backtested, trade Bitcoin and small amounts of $ & € to learn.

Atmospheric cube satellite kits for STEM programs: http://www.trimtab.space/ We 3D print a cube satellite, send them to the school, they fill it with their experiments (conditions are extreme at 100,000 ft.) and we send it up on a high altitude balloon. We've got a 3U launch planned a few weeks from now.
