Introduction to Python for Quantitative finance and investing

A partir de 57.36 $ /h

Python is one of the most powerful programming/scripting tools of our times. However, learning from textbooks or online can become time consuming and inefficient, since we easily lose focus. In this class, we learn by doing. As you learn new techniques and concepts, you will immediately use them to build tools that will help you become a data-driven and informed investor or trader. At the end of the class, you are left with a basic understanding of what python can do, but also with a template code that you can later use to build you own strategies on top.

The class in a nutshell:

(1) How to extract market data with python, such as: OHLC quotes, volume, dividend history, financial history etc.
(2) How to store and handle data efficiently.
(3) How to build and group your own portfolio based on any custom metric (e.g. P/E ratio, Debt/Equity ratio, dividend etc)
(4) How to build future paths of a stock in our portfolio, via Monte Carlo simulations, based on your own beliefs (e.g. optimistic/pessimistic).

Acerca de mí

I come from Greece, but I moved in the Netherlands more than five years ago where I studied and obtained my PhD in High Energy Astrophysics. Since then, I have been working as a quantitative analyst for a big bank in the Netherlands. I have ample experience in building algorithms and quantitative tools for trading and investing using python. My main focus is derivative (option) trading and valuation, but that is a long discussion.The environment in my classes is very friendly and not formal at all, and I always welcome a nice conversation about the financial markets, philosophy or life in general.

Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning.

This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied.

As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others.

I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly.

Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.

Investing in cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc) is an activity that can allow you to have extra income every month with very little time invested in it (you can easily do it just a few days a month and after working hours)

However, the amount of information online on how to start this activity can be overwhelming and confusing.

Since I have been investing in crypto for 5 years and achieved financial freedom through it, I can show you the basics and also the systems I constantly use to create a long-term profitable portfolio, while getting weekly, compounded, passive income in the meanwhile.

Just some of the topics we'll cover, that we'll give you confidence in your long-term investments:
- What is Bitcoin?
- What is the blockchain?
- What is Ethereum?
- Other key cryptocurrencies - Some examples
- Where can I learn more on my own (top non-biased media resources I used for the last 5 years)?
- Where can I buy and sell cryptocurrencies?
- Why does Bitcoin go up massively every 4 years? - How does the market REALLY work? -
- How can I create a long-term portfolio with just a little bit of time invested every week? (explained step-by-step)
- When should I buy and sell my cryptocurrencies? (personal opinion)

Give it a try and I promise you will love it :)

Financial accounting is a course many students struggle at first.
Yet, knowing the basics and understanding accounting is extremely relevant for anyone pursuing a career in a business-related degree; or looking to start their own business.
I have a bachelor's and a master's in accounting. I have 4 years of working experience, as a financial accountant and lately as a financial controller at a European tech SME firm. At my job, I deal with many interesting accounting aspects such as: Transfer pricing, VAT, audit, compliance, revenue recognition, reporting, and reconciliations.
I enjoy helping others understand core financial concepts like the accounting equation, debits and credits, accrual accounting, and preparation of financial statements, among many others.

Experience in stock market investment (over 12 years). Bachelor's degree in Economics. Professional in international payments. I write a stock market newsletter in English with over 5,000 subscribers.

Like any investor, I don't always win, but a thorough process produces good results in the long run.

I'm passionate about sharing knowledge and democratizing investment. Now, to support my business projects, I'd like to teach classes to earn extra income.

I believe successful investing shouldn't be just for a small group, but for everyone. Why invest and not just save? Social media promises versus reality: What can you really earn? Is there a guaranteed return? What products do banks offer and how do they work? How does psychology influence long-term success? What happens and what should be done in a crisis? Take control of your future.
