Getting started with algorithmic trading and finance
- [Michael] Algorithmic trading is a fast-growing area in the field of finance, and it represents a huge opportunity for new and existing professionals in the space. Despite what you might think, though, algorithmic trading, or algo trading for short, doesn't have to be that complicated, nor does it rely on deep computer programming knowledge. Instead, what you'll need is an understanding of the basics of the capital markets and then the imagination to come up with ideas on the driving factors behind stocks, bonds, and currency prices. In this course, I'll show you how to get started developing algo trading models using fast-growing popular software programs Python, R, and Stata. I'm Dr Michael McDonald. I'm a professor of finance and a frequent consultant in the investments and finance field for Fortune 500 companies and investment firms. So if you're ready to dive in and learn how to use algo trading to make your life as an investor easier and more profitable, then please join me here on LinkedIn Learning now.
