About this Specialization
Applied Learning Project
The three courses will show you how to create various quantitative and algorithmic trading strategies using Python. By the end of the specialization, you will be able to create and enhance quantitative trading strategies with machine learning that you can train, test, and implement in capital markets. You will also learn how to use deep learning and reinforcement learning strategies to create algorithms that can update and train themselves.

Take Courses
A Coursera Specialization is a series of courses that helps you master a skill. To begin, enroll in the Specialization directly, or review its courses and choose the one you'd like to start with. When you subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization, you’re automatically subscribed to the full Specialization. It’s okay to complete just one course — you can pause your learning or end your subscription at any time. Visit your learner dashboard to track your course enrollments and your progress.
Hands-on Project
Every Specialization includes a hands-on project. You'll need to successfully finish the project(s) to complete the Specialization and earn your certificate. If the Specialization includes a separate course for the hands-on project, you'll need to finish each of the other courses before you can start it.
Earn a Certificate
When you finish every course and complete the hands-on project, you'll earn a Certificate that you can share with prospective employers and your professional network.
