Volatility Based Stock Trading with AI and Statistics #finance #trading #investing

In this episode, we dive into VolTS — a fresh trading strategy that combines old-school statistical analysis with modern machine learning to predict stock trends based on volatility patterns. Discover how clustering, Granger causality tests, and volatility estimators like Yang-Zhang and Parkinson come together in a systematic framework focused on mid-volatility tech stocks. We explore its backtesting results, potential for outperforming buy-and-hold, and the risks of shifting market regimes. Whether you're a quant, trader, or curious about AI in finance, this one's packed with insight.

Topics:

Volatility clustering using K-means++

Predictive relationships via Granger Causality

Trend following vs. buy-and-hold performance

Risk metrics and anomaly filtering

Future directions: crypto markets, NLP, and hybrid models

Tune in for a smart, accessible breakdown of one of the more innovative approaches to algorithmic trading.
