TOP REVIEWS FROM TRADING ALGORITHMS

I loved how lively the class appeared because of the teaching style of professor Prasanna. it was quite an insightful module

by PAApr 15, 2020

The exam in week three had values as answers that did not correspond with the questions. Otherwise a good overview of Piotroski. We have like to have seen more on the PEADs paper.

by NGApr 26, 2021

This is one of the best courses for learning basics about algorithms. there should be another course on implementation of algorithms using programming languages also!

by HPMay 4, 2017

This course teaches how to derive trading strategies based on fundamental analysis from academic research. It is a very nice introduction to trading algorithms.
