ML.NET project addition

[eleven]

I'm trying to write the ML code in a NT strategy. Ultimately, I may need to take the approach you are taking with VS and NT. I will see how far I can get the next couple of days.

You need to reference each ModelInput property separately in the NT indicator unlike using the code snippet that ml.net creates.

Can you provide an example of the statement above? I think I might be running into this issue as well.

Thanks,
eleven

Here's what the model builder automatically generates as a code snippet for use in an app (my project is called CLNS2). I'll use the Volume feature as an example. It has an 'F' after the value because it has to be a float value. NT doesn't recognize this, you have to convert your variables to floats:

//Load sample data
var sampleData = new CLNS2.ModelInput()
{
Volume = 1751429F,
};

//Load model and predict output
var result = CLNS2.Predict(sampleData);

Each of those properties (Volume) can't be referenced by NT in this format. Create a float variable that you can convert the series variable to a float. You can still instantiate the sampleData variable BUT need to call the properties differently. The series variable will take in that property:

float v = (float)Volume[0];

var sampleData = new CLNS2.ModelInput()

sampleData.Volume = v;

Thanks for sending the example code. I did not get a chance to work on this last night, but I have some free time over the weekend.

I want to give a special shoutout to Lance El Camino. This guy went above and beyond to help me set this up. He didn't have to help, but he did. Thank you sir for your willingness to share your experience.

Hi guys,
I'm a bit familiar with Machine Learning however, how to implement this concept into trading futures is hard, particularly engineering the trading data for use with ML. Can someone please provide guidance on how to achieve this?

I'm trying to reference and load native assembly "CpuMathNative.dll" but I get an error that it is not in a .NET format. Is it possible to load this dll in NT8?

I believe you have to change your project to a Net4.8 before building the project.

Create an indicator with all your indicators and values you want to use in your ML project as "Features" and write them to a CSV file, create your model, then use the same "Features" as inputs in your strategy to predict via the model. It sounds simple, but there is a huge learning curve. However, if you have past knowledge, it should be easier to pick up the terminology and implement the model. It was a huge curve for me, but doable. It took me two weeks of non-stop reading and fiddling to figure it out.

click4payday, thank you so much for your response and guidance. I struggled with creating the target especially when there are many features. But now I got it.
