Our Verdict
This course serves as an excellent starting point for those interested in quantitative finance, with its clear mathematical explanations and hands-on tutorials. However, be prepared to supplement your learning by updating the provided code, understanding stock analysis basics, and learning about algo trading from other sources. Furthermore, those seeking machine learning and algorithmic trading application might need to look for additional resources that delve more into these topics.
