#############################################################################################

Important note - Course prerequisites:

Please note that this course requires basic python proficiency. At the minimum, you should be comfortable with:

  • basic python data types and format

  • basic python data structures such as list, dictionary, tuple etc.

  • how to create python functions

  • how to implement loops in python

  • installing and importing libraries 

Basic python proficiency is mandatory because Interactive Broker API's python client uses advanced OOP and asynchronous programming concepts. While, I have devoted an entire section explaining these concepts, students with no python knowledge will really struggle to follow along.

#############################################################################################


Who this course is for:

  • Traders looking to automate their strategies on Interactive Broker's platform
  • Anyone interested in Algorithmic trading

The instructor, Mayank, has great credentials to be teaching this course. The content is excellent (and I think can't be found elsewhere), and his delivery is very clear. Furthermore, the course is very well-structured. He organises it in building blocks, and ties it together at the end. Really high quality teaching.

​I have authored and published bestselling courses and books on finance and technology. I have a passion for simplifying seemingly complex topics such as algorithmic trading, machine learning, artificial intelligence and make them accessible to students with no technology/finance background.

I have more than a decade of experience working with global investment banks in the quantitative analysis/risk management areas. My work experience has made me a firm believer in taking data driven decisions while always being mindful of the qualitative aspects of my job. 

I did my undergraduate education in engineering and earned MBA and MFE degrees. I see myself as a life long learner and I deeply cherish the opportunity of sharing my knowledge with others.
