Featured review
Instructor
I have master degree in civil engineering but since college I have strong passion about markets. I trade Forex and Futures since 2013 and later I added Crypto as well. Coding is not my main focus but I like to see backtesting results of my strategies before I add them to my portfolio. That is why I started to learn Python as a tool to help me with this. I spent countless hours developing my skills on trading and now I want to help another traders to use some of my knowledge. I am sure everyone will find some use of informations and tips that I provide.
