What You'll Learn

With the evolution of data and technology, Algo-trading became much more popular and is now used by many financial institutions and retail traders for making trading decisions. Algo-trading has numerous benefits over manual trading, including fast computation and the elimination of human emotions and biases. However, it requires rigorous backtesting to develop and finalize a trading strategy that follows good practices.

This course will provide insight into how more robust algorithm trading models can be developed to generate higher risk-weighted returns.
