Python for Finance
Investment Fundamentals & Data Analytics

I have been and previously I was using free resources on youtube and the internet. But I'm thinking about checking this course out. It seems to cover a good amount of topics while offering real world examples. Most importantly, it's only $10.

Check out udemy.com for structured courses that are more geared towards the type of programming you're more likely to use. What those are, I have no idea. But I'm sure there's some stuff that will directly apply.

Also there's currently a cyber Monday sale

Edit- a quick search pulled up this python course for finance modeling data analytics

https://www.udemy.com/course/python-for-finance-investment-fundamentals-data-analytics/

Probablemente sea la habilidad más rentable que exista actualmente y aprender es relativamente fácil y barato.

Si sabes inglés hay muchos canales de YouTube dedicado a eso. En Udemy inclusive hay un curso que si te esperas siempre baja a $129 - $179mxn que es de aprender Python para finanzas. Es este.

También puedes auditar los cursos en Coursera de manera gratuita.
El certificado de analista de datos de Google es buen lugar para empezar. Ya cuál escoger depende de ti.

Por cierto, casi todos los analistas financieros que conozco trabajan en Python, por si tienen la duda entre Python o R. Aunque siempre es mejor saber los dos.

I read the reviews but i still don't know if it's worth it or not. This is why i'm asking, i beleive people in Reddit are more honest https://www.udemy.com/course/python-for-finance-investment-fundamentals-data-analytics/

This is the course, unfortunately it isn’t on sale right now. It starts off very basic so I’m still learning the syntax. Haven’t gotten to the actual analytics part yet

Pythons definitely the way to go! Check this udemy course on investment fundamentals and data analytics to get an idea. Udemy Link

I'm guessing OP is talking about this course here: https://www.udemy.com/course/python-for-finance-investment-fundamentals-data-analytics/

I too originally brought it on sale and it was well-worth the money I spent on it. They teach you the basics so even if you've never programmed before it's completely fine they'll work you through it. Once they've taught you the fundamentals, they go into how you can combine your new skills in financial application whilst also teaching the concepts behind them they teach things such as stock/induce rates of return, investment risk, univariate and multivariate regressional analysis, Markowitz Portfolio theory, the CAPM and Monte Carlo simulations.

Theres also exercises after every programming lesson for you to practice and quizzes to test your knowledge. There's even a Q&A section if you ever get stuck.

Would this be a good Python course? Also thank you so much, Would it be okay if I message you sometime if I have any questions or inquiries?

Have you ever considered data analytics? Financial data analysts have an average salary of $70K and there are various shorter-term courses you can take completely online.

Brainstation is one example. If you're not totally sure, you could always try out a cheaper version like this Udemy course for $20 to see if it's something that might be of interest.

I think it might be valuable even with your current place, though not sure if they would be willing to bump up the money for you or if they have continuing ed opportunities there.

Do you mind sharing the course name?
Is it this?

How are you finding it so far?

Portfolio Optimization is a great way to buy and hold equities over the long-term but it is by no means a way to beat the market extraordinarily. You will be more efficient with risk/reward and overall you should average 7% returns every year, both up and down markets.

I'm just starting to unveil algo trading so I don't have too much knowledge, but if you're starting to dabble into it as well Udemy has a great couple of courses on Python for Finance that covers both Portfolio Optimization and algo trading.

I just finished this course and it was excellent. It covers Sharpe Ratio, Black-Scholes options pricing, Monte Carlo scenarios etc. It's a great overview for both finance and Python but I imagine you're already well versed on the programming side of things.

The algo course I just started is good so far but I've only done a couple of lessons and have been lazy this week lol. I plan to pick it back up next week or week after, depending on my actual workload from my day job.

I think algo trading could be excellent for options trading, but I will caution you that options trading is super risky and you should never bet the farm or sell naked puts or calls. You may have some success, but in the long-run, you will likely get burned.

That being said, I think if you leverage fundamental financial analysis with programming and algo trading, you can earn decent coin on the side, but again, I'd caution you on taking huge risks.

CFA Python Workshop

Has anyone attended one of these workshops? The course outline seems quite basic for the price that is being charged -- I'm wondering how beneficial these are vs. doing something on Udemy or on my own time?

Maybe there is a benefit to the class room set up? (it is virtual, through Zoom).
