What will I learn?
The main essence of the course is the design theories behind the Trading Robots. These theories and knowledge come from years of industry practice. This course does not only teach programming. Programming is just the tool we use to execute our ideas.
At the end of the day, you will acquire the ability to generate a trading idea, code the idea (within 1 hour), test the idea, see the strengths and flaws in the idea, improve it and finally execute the idea.
