This module contains an implementation of Markowitz algorithm for the portfolio optimization, a routine for retrieving historical prices from Yahoo, statistical information for stocks and a routine for calculating implied volatility using Black and Scholes formula.
See examples directory.
For a frontend, see node-conpa.
To install with npm:
npm install finance
Tested with node 0.4.12, R 2.13.1 and Rserve 0.6.5.
Before using crm methods, you need to configure the details of the persistence system. The portfolios are saved on a CouchDB instance. The configuration allows a live and testing environment.
finance.crm.configure({
liveDomain: "x.x.x",
liveUrl: "http://key1:pass1@p.c.com",
liveDb: "myLiveDBName",
testingUrl: "http://key2:pass2@p.c.com",
testingDb: "myTestingDBName",
design: "designName",
});
In the support directory there is a script to install the design document with the views used in the dashboard tab.
It creates an optimal portfolio. If config is defined, the method call a Rserve instance, otherwise a native implementation is used.
