Thank you, Jason. As a non-programmer, coding has always been daunting. Your course, unlike countless YouTube videos, is focused and professionally applies Python to quant finance without overwhelming. I came away feeling confident and armed with the tools needed to systematically approach the markets. Also, the trading strategies introduced are real, which to me was an added bonus. Thank you!

This course is really well put together. With the knowledge gained via curated lessons, plenty of notebooks of usable code and even a few strategies to play around with, I feel I've fast tracked by quant finance journey significantly. Watching how a professional like Jason focuses on statistical testing over optimising returns has been the biggest take away.

This was hands down the best course I've ever taken not just in this domain, but in general! Highly recommend for anyone at any skill level to check this out if you want to learn how to successfully and practically back-test strategies and execute orders in Interactive Brokers.

The biggest unlock is the scientific method framework for developing trading strategies. Further, the understanding that statistical significance is key over direct returns a strategy shows in a backtest.

3. I desperately want to continue

I am glad I decided to take this course! It helped me jumpstart with Python and Quant/Finance, areas I wanted to get more familiar with. Jason provides efficient advice on how to become proficient in a practical way. The notebooks are well prepared and are the foundation for further investigation. Thanks!

- The course helped me to learn new tools that are validated by quants and specially developed for the quant finance purpose. The course provided targeted examples so really relevant for anyone desiring to have their hands dirty.
Especially, i followed a algorithmic trading course before from a well-known university but it kept being theorical.
Python for quant finance combined both theorical and practical knowledge
- No BS and just Python and Python again.
- Not everything is given and you will have to work for some lessons but it was a great way to learn more Python coding and scale my modules knowledge.

The course sped up my learning curve by months by providing a high quality curated content. I profoundly envy the clarity and simplicity of the way Jason expose all the complex concepts as if they were simple

1) The course is awesome, clarifying the pipeline to build an mvp to trade in IB, very useful. 2) My assumption before the course was that to trade I collecta bunch of data and apply number crunching and I will be a zillionare :D Jason taught me how this really works. 3) I now have a great understanding how all the "parts" works together and got loads of very useful python code

I came into the course with extensive finance experience and minimal python experience. The course provided a fantastic tasting menu of the primary components of a python quant stack. This made the python learning experience much more engaging and I uncovered the areas that will benefit most from my focus going forward.

My main takeaway is that there is a practical way to approach tasks with a focus on results (I really loved the MVP concept).
After going through numerous courses and making it halfway through my Master's program, I finally have something that works. I’ve realized that I tend to overcomplicate things, when there’s often a simpler way to implement everything I’ve been thinking about. 🙂

1. The biggest way the course has helped me is by giving me a roadmap, python quant stack and the MVP python. There was focus when it comes to python. The stack leaves no room for exploration when it comes to tools. This is a very very solid quant stack. Through the live lessons I now have a roadmap to my goal.
2. This course has helped unlocking outcomes because of the focus with which certain concepts are covered and equipping us with the right tools. Other courses that I have taken either lack focus or cover the concepts and leave the exploration of the right tools to us. Either way I felt lost.
With this course I now have a vision of what are my gaps, tools req to get the job done and how do I get to my final goal
3. The unexpected benefit has to be the community. Jason is himself very active on the community and there is an assurance that if I come across any problem in my journey then I could turn to the community and Jason for help.

This was by far the best trading class I have ever taken. I started my journey 15 years ago with technical analysis and worked my way up to Algo trading using other tools. Independently I learned python in the last few years and have been running a small hedge fund where I do most things. Jason's class fit the bill in terms of pulling things together for me. ROI was amazing; ~1K for all this info is fantastic. Jason's ability to communicate complex issues in a way that is consumable makes the difference. In particular the methods for evaluating factors and running testing on them was very useful. Thanks Jason!

This is the best course to kick start learning Python in quant finance space, great value for money and sets you up nicely for success.
Return on investment is much higher for the amount of learning, free resources, life time access which we get in this course.
I am pretty sure this course is going to have positive impact on my professional goal of upskilling myself and apply theory into practice based on framework and notebook provided in this course.

The course was extremely valuable in helping me get started with Python for quant finance. Jason was able to clearly explain backtesting, and shared knowledge to improve my own trading research. This course uniquely walked through examples, where the application to my own work was clearly relevant. The unexpected benefit of this course was the rapid confidence in utilizing python to help with my own personal projects.
