I will be posting here regarding my journey to learn Python for use in designing and building automated trading strategies, along with general data analysis and perhaps (eventually) some web based python involving Flask and Django.
I have been meaning to do this for some time (especially on the automated trading strategy side of things), having worked as a trader for many years for various managed futures funds and hedge funds in London. I have dabbled on and off over the past year or so with sites such as www.codecademy.com and MOOC providers such as EDX, Coursera and Udacity, but have now decided to make a concerted effort. I will be aiming to use the MOOC providers mentioned previously (who doesn’t like free stuff), along with some hand selected, paid courses from Udemy and any other worthwhile resources I can get my grubby little hands on.
