Session Outline

If you are a trader or investor in the financial markets, you're probably aware that the investing landscape has undergone a sea change in the last 10-15 years.

At the heart of it, is the use of quantitative techniques in making buying and selling decisions in the markets. Often, we hear from our community that they want to learn more about these new-age tools and harness them to improve returns on their investments.
