Program Overview

Building a strategy is one skill; running it reliably, unattended, with real safeguards is another, and this course teaches the second one. It is an engineering course, not a money-making pitch: Python for finance, technical and fundamental analysis in code, strategy design and rigorous backtesting, then portfolio theory and risk-management systems, machine learning for trading, and the part most courses skip entirely, connecting to broker APIs, paper trading, and building live systems with monitoring, logging, compliance awareness and the safeguards that stop an automated system doing real damage. Throughout, the message is repeated and honest: markets carry real risk of loss, backtests do not predict the future, and this is education, not financial advice. A finale month builds and paper-deploys a full automated system and sits the final exam.

The pace is honest: ten teaching months at two live classes a week plus four to six hours of practice, with two more in hand. Problem sets, monthly mixed reviews, phase exams, and a final exam that decides the certificate with a free retest.

What Makes This Program Different

  • The systems half done right: from backtest to reliable, monitored, unattended execution
  • Broker APIs and paper trading taught hands-on, the step most courses skip
  • Safeguards as a core topic: the controls that stop an automated system causing harm
  • Production engineering: deployment, monitoring, logging and compliance awareness
  • Honest about risk on every page: education, not financial advice, no profit claims
  • Real assessment: weekly problem sets, monthly mixed reviews, phase exams and a final exam with a free retest
