This project uses Spark framework to run Monte Carlo simulation on historical stock prices. Historical data is read from CSV files and dift for a symbol is calculated. We then use random distribution on the last known price to estimate future prices for a set number of days throughout a number of iterations. A a broker class then selects one of these simulations for each stock symbol at random and invests money (dynamically) on them. Profits and losses are recorded at the end of the simulation in a tabular format.
The scripts in https://github.com/user501254/BD_STTP_2016.git can be used for semi-automated local Hadoop and Spark setup or for setup on AWS Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Google Compute Engine (GCE).

Alpha Vantage APIs are grouped into four categories: (1) Stock Time Series Data, (2) Physical and Digital/Crypto Currencies (e.g., Bitcoin), (3) Technical Indicators, and (4) Sector Performances. For this project, we use the Stock Time Series Data to get historical prices for a given stock.

RunMontecarloSimulation.scala utility object file to connect above two classes
The simulation approach is from the book "Python for Finance: Analyze Big Financial Data, Yves Hilpisch". Also, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gcLRU24-w0&feature=youtu.be&t=204.
First we read the historical (closing) prices for a symbol from CSV into a DataFrame. Additional columns are computed on the fly and added to the dataframe. These are:
-
change - daily stock price change for a given symbol
(price(n) - price(n-1))
-
pct_change - daily percentage change for a given symbol
(price(n) - price(n-1)) / price(n-1)
-
log_returns - natural log of pct_change + 1
ln(((price(n) - price(n-1)) / price(n-1)) + 1)

We will use data in log_returns
column to calculate overall stock price drift and standard deviation for use in our
Monte Carlo simulation. Using logarithmic return is better, see why:
https://quantivity.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/why-log-returns/
Next we calculate the variance, stddev, mean and drift for stock returns and use these values to estimate the expected
returns over a random distribution for a set number of days (rows) and iterations (array size in valueArray
column).
Here, the drift is defined as:
drift = mean(log_returns) - 0.5 * variance(log_returns)
And expected return (Z Score) is calculated as:
exp(drift + deviation * distribution.inverseCumulativeProbability(value)

The above process is done for each stock symbol (eg. AMZN,AAPL,MSFT) in the portfolio. Finally, we make use of a dummy investment stratagy to buy and sell stocks on each simulation day. On the first day, equal amount of money is allocated for buying each of the symbols in the portfolio. There after, stocks are bought/sold when the mean percentage change in the past days of simulation is greater/less than 0 respectively for each symbol.
Buying happens incrementally, where as selling is cumulative. On the last day, all stocks are sold and profit/loss is booked.

Something to note, absolute paths are almost always preferred. Make sure to use correct file system URI.
For example, if the file 'hw2/src/main/resources/data/' is on a ordinary filesystem, within the users home directory,
use:
file://$HOME/hw2/src/main/resources/data/
Similarly, for file on HDFS, use hdfs://$HOSTNAME:PORT/some-path/
For S3 bucket, use s3://bucket-name/some-path/
