About the course | Learning Outcome

This course provides essential Python programming techniques dedicated on algo trading development. No Python or any other programming experience is assumed and we will cover from basic to advanced programming techniques to be used for algo trading system development.

After the course the students are able to:

• Target Audience: The course caters to a diverse audience, including aspiring Forex traders, financial analysts, investment professionals, and students eager to explore the intersection of finance and technology.
• Competitor Analysis: While numerous platforms offer Forex trading courses, few effectively combine fundamental analysis with machine learning applications. By focusing on this gap, our course will stand out as a comprehensive educational resource.
• Group projects and presentation: Students will apply for what they have learnt and work out the solid trading system development on their own with the support of our professional tutors.

The highlight is the collaborative group project, requiring participants to design, develop, and present a fully integrated data-driven trading application with the support of our tutors during the course.
