Quant trader Ernie Chan from PredictNow.ai joins us to discuss how to predict the profitability of trades using machine learning, including:

• Unconditional probability and the problem with win% in backtest reports,
• Why "conditional probability" is much more useful for a trader and how to apply conditional probabilities to capital allocation,
• Why you should use Machine Learning for risk management and capital allocation only (and not for building trading strategies),
• Why feature selection and feature importance ranking are so valuable,
• Plus, the best ML techniques for prediction, how simple should trading strategies be, insights from cluster-based feature selection, do these techniques really work, ML as a crystal ball and much more!
