Algorithmic trading
- [Michael] Hi, I'm Dr. Michael McDonald. I'm a professor of finance and a data science researcher. I've taught quantitative finance and financial forecasting in the financial markets to executives and traders at financial firms, hedge funds, securities regulators, and many large companies. In this course, I'm going to show you how to use data to do basic algorithmic trading. In particular, I'll help you to understand how to evaluate trade strategies, test them, and determine if they're feasible as the cornerstone in an investment vehicle. We're going to learn all about how big companies take data and use it to make money in the financial markets. I hope you'll join me.
