Great course for those who want to deploy finance & investment knowledge in to real-trading bot.
Just like other courses of Jose, it get direct to the point.
From zero knowledge of code and programing language 3 months ago ( well, 3,5 exactly) , after took several courses of Jose now I can really build and test my trading strategies.
Thank you Jose. You did a great job!
