ALGORITHMIC TRADING
THE PYTHON QUANTS

DATAISM & ALGORITHMS


We are living in the age of dataism and of algorithms taking over
many areas in our life. These trends are well illustrated in the field of
algorithmic trading of financial instruments.

The ability to crunch tons of data and to implement trading


strategies that generate alpha in the form of automated algorithms
is key in this field. Due to its expressive syntax and powerful
ecosystem of data analytics libraries, Python ranks among the top
programming languages in the algorithmic trading industry.

Almost all leading hedge funds make use of Python as a strategic element of their IT architectures. Some of the
biggest banks in the world manage their trading and risk operations based on systems mainly implemented in
Python.

The field offers exciting opportunities for those intending to build their own trading business or those dreaming of
landing a job with one of the leaders in the industry.

COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM
We at The Python Quants Group teach Python for Algorithmic Trading since many years. Based from the experience
of numerous online and live training classes, we have compiled a unique program that teaches you all the relevant
Python elements, approaches and techniques to implement your own automated, algorithmic trading strategies.
Among others, the course program covers the three online trading platforms from Oanda (http://oanda.com, for
CFD trading), Interactive Brokers (http://interactivebrokers.com, for stock trading) and Gemini (http://gemini.com,
for cryptocurrency trading).

The classes and elements of the program include the following:


Finance with Python: an introduction to finance from basic Python Best Practices (6 hours): this online class covers the
principles and at the same time a gentle introduction to most important practices in the Python world, like testing,
Python basics debugging or the structuring of Python packages
Python for Financial Data Science (20 hours): a class Python Coding Jam Sessions (10 hours): nothing can
covering the most important Python data structures and replace practice; this element of the program is dedicated to
idioms as well as libraries for financial data science (like improvised sessions that illustrate the usage of different tools
NumPy, pandas, matplotlib); the class is mainly based on the (like Jupyter or IPython) and how to build algorithmic trading
Python for Finance (O’Reilly) book code from scratch
Python for Algorithmic Trading (30 hours): this online class Trading Competitions: participants of the program take part
is at the core of the program and is based on a documentation in two trading competitions, one over 1 trading day and one
with more than 450 pages as PDF and over 3,000 lines of over a full trading week
