While few people are howling for the language, what they fail to understand is... Not everyone has English as their primary language. The course content is so great that I came in a day before my mid term project, able to grasp the concept and code straight through. Albeit the voice quality of the mic, this is one of the top courses on the topic.

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.
