About this lesson

In this video we look at ordinal patterns and permutation entropy with a trading application in mind. Ordinal patterns are a useful tool for algorithmic trading. We discuss a few applications of ordinal patterns for trading system development and look at permutation entropy as a trading indicator. Permutation entropy can be useful for filtering trades. Certain strategies may perform better/worse when the entropy is high/low. Python code is shown and explained for ordinal pattern mapping and permutation entropy.
