About the Course

In this course, you’ll learn about the fundamentals of trading, including the concept of trend, returns, stop-loss, and volatility. You will learn how to identify the profit source and structure of basic quantitative trading strategies. This course will help you gauge how well the model generalizes its learning, explain the differences between regression and forecasting, and identify the steps needed to create development and implementation backtesters. By the end of the course, you will be able to use Google Cloud Platform to build basic machine learning models in Jupyter Notebooks. To be successful in this course, you should have advanced competency in Python programming and familiarity with pertinent libraries for machine learning, such as Scikit-Learn, StatsModels, and Pandas. Experience with SQL is recommended. You should have a background in statistics (expected values and standard deviation, Gaussian distributions, higher moments, probability, linear regressions) and foundational knowledge of financial markets (equities, bonds, derivatives, market structure, hedging)....

Very interesting course, I totally agree that there are very few courses that cover time-series analysis. I haven't tried BigQuery before. Looking forward to next courses in this specialization.

Excellent! But, I am missing some of the prerequisites since I just wanted to take a chance and try things out, but feel like proceeding further might lead to some stumbling blocks.

Good material... Assignment are very helpful. Flow is bit choppy specially for ML parts. It switches from simple to advance topic rather randomly.

It's a good course, but the volume is TOO LOW, and they don't go into detail in the programming phase for python. but it's good overall.

Some of the content in Week 4, might be better placed earlier in the course. Other than that it was a great learning experience.

Not as much coding as I would have wanted, or atleast exposure to code. Very solid historical context though.

Pretty basic concepts, although being titled as "Introduction" it does what it is supposed to do. Good job.
