About the Session
This is the third webinar of our #10YearsOfQuantInsti series.
In this hands-on masterclass, create an algorithmic trading strategy and implement it in live markets. Explore the universe of trading strategies, create a sample strategy, backtest it, and analyse the results.
This learning track provides a practical, step-by-step approach to learning, making it an excellent resource for algo trading for beginners, allowing beginners to gain hands-on experience with strategy creation, backtesting, and execution in real market conditions.
Learn to use APIs and wrappers such as IBridgePy to connect with brokers such as Interactive Brokers, TD Ameritrade and Robinhood, to paper trade and live trade. The participants are expected to have some familiarity with a programming language and know the basics of financial markets.
After successfully completing the session, you will be awarded the Certificate of participation.
