Our Verdict
Python for Finance and Algorithmic Trading with QuantConnect is a comprehensive and engaging course that provides an in-depth look at Python libraries and financial analysis techniques. The course's main strength lies in the clear and concise teaching style, along with a thorough exploration of QuantConnect's capabilities. However, it falls short by not providing a full use case example and having outdated code snippets. Additionally, important derivatives trading topics are missing from the content. While this course still serves as an excellent starting point for learning about algorithmic trading, those interested in futures and options might need to look elsewhere.
