Introduction to Python for Quantitative finance and investing

Python is one of the most powerful programming/scripting tools of our times. However, learning from textbooks or online can become time consuming and inefficient, since we easily lose focus. In this class, we learn by doing. As you learn new techniques and concepts, you will immediately use them to build tools that will help you become a data-driven and informed investor or trader. At the end of the class, you are left with a basic understanding of what python can do, but also with a template code that you can later use to build you own strategies on top.

The class in a nutshell:

(1) How to extract market data with python, such as: OHLC quotes, volume, dividend history, financial history etc.
(2) How to store and handle data efficiently.
(3) How to build and group your own portfolio based on any custom metric (e.g. P/E ratio, Debt/Equity ratio, dividend etc)
(4) How to build future paths of a stock in our portfolio, via Monte Carlo simulations, based on your own beliefs (e.g. optimistic/pessimistic).

About Me

I come from Greece, but I moved in the Netherlands more than five years ago where I studied and obtained my PhD in High Energy Astrophysics. Since then, I have been working as a quantitative analyst for a big bank in the Netherlands. I have ample experience in building algorithms and quantitative tools for trading and investing using python. My main focus is derivative (option) trading and valuation, but that is a long discussion.The environment in my classes is very friendly and not formal at all, and I always welcome a nice conversation about the financial markets, philosophy or life in general.

MSc, Computational Physics ( Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece)
PhD, Computational Astrophysics (University of Groningen & University of Southampton)

Private coding / programming lessons with python
Python is one of the best, if not the best, language to start learning programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages today, especially in cutting-edge areas such as machine learning. This popularity means that Python is constantly evolving. It offers a wide range of tools and libraries, which are free and very varied. As an aeronautical engineer, I like to share my knowledge and derive satisfaction from it by teaching and motivating others. I'm used to working with people of different ages. I believe in the importance of segmenting learning, visualizing progress, setting concrete goals and practicing regularly. Beyond these general principles, there is no magic rule or method. Some approaches work with some students but not with others. Adaptation to individual needs is therefore the main objective of private lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my student.
