TOP REVIEWS FROM TRADING BASICS
The course was taught in a really nice way with all the math presented clearly. The professor made sure that the topics were easy and at the same time relevant.
Certain parts in week 2 were not clearly explained..
However, everything cannot be perfect , altogether the course was very helpful and will surely help me.
Thank You
Course structure is good, it covers almost everything but if you are looking for an understanding its not for you. They have a script and its all bookish knowledge. so all the best!
There could be better explanation in week 4 to calculate the transaction cost based on the respective benchmarks. Otherwise it is an amazing course if you want to learn the basics of trading.
