Introduction to Python for Quantitative finance and investing

From 79.93 C$ /h

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.

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.

De fleste som prøver å lære trading feiler ikke fordi de er dumme –
de feiler fordi de lærer feil ting, i feil rekkefølge, fra feil folk.

Da jeg selv var ny, brukte jeg flere år på informasjon som senere viste seg å være ren støy. Mye av det som finnes gratis på nettet er direkte misvisende, og mange “mentorer” kan i praksis ikke trade selv.

Det tok meg rundt 2,5 år, med ca. 4 timer daglig studering daglig, før jeg begynte å se stabile resultater. Hadde jeg hatt en ekte mentor som viste meg hva som faktisk betyr noe – og i riktig rekkefølge – og kan direkte svare på spørsmål - ville jeg spart enormt med tid, penger og frustrasjon.

Det er akkurat det jeg tilbyr videre.

Kurset er på Norsk. Det finnes svært lite informasjon og læringsmateriale der ute som er på Norsk. Alt jeg lærte, lærte jeg på engelsk fordi det var omtrent det eneste som var tilgjengelig.

⸻

HVA DETTE MENTORSHIPPET HANDLER OM:

Dette mentorshipet er for deg som ønsker å lære trading med ett klart mål:
å tjene penger i markedet på en realistisk, strukturert og repeterbar måte.

Trading er en av få ferdigheter hvor du:
- kan jobbe når og hvor du vil
- trengs kun 1-2 timer daglig jobbing
- ikke har et inntekts-tak
- ingen sjef, ingen ansatte. ingen inventar.
- kan skalere inntekten kraftig når ferdigheten først sitter

I dette mentorshipet lærer jeg deg nøyaktig hvordan jeg selv trader markedet, steg for steg.
Ingen fluff. Ingen tilfeldige strategier. Kun konsepter som faktisk brukes i praksis.

⸻

HVA DU KONKRET LÆRER - OG HVORFOR DET FUNGERER:

Jeg lærer deg bank-level, algoritmiske mønstre og signaturer i markedet som gjentar seg nesten hver eneste dag, innenfor bestemte tidsvinduer.

Du lærer blant annet:
- hvorfor tid er viktigere enn pris
- hvilke tidsrom på dagen som gir høyest sannsynlighet
- presise entry- og exit-regler
- risikostyring som beskytter kapitalen
- hvordan du kan trade effektivt uten å sitte på chart hele dagen

Personlig trader jeg maks 1–2 timer daglig, nettopp fordi jeg vet hva jeg leter etter, og når.

Konseptene fungerer på Forex, aksjer, crypto, futures og commodities.

⸻

PENGER OG KAPITAL:

De fleste nybegynnere forstår ikke det reelle potensialet i trading.

Når du først har ferdigheten, er det kapitalen som avgjør hvor mye du kan tjene – ikke hvor flink du er teknisk.

Jeg startet selv med små beløp. Å tjene 3 % på en liten konto gir nesten ingenting.
Å tjene de samme 3 % på en stor konto er en helt annen virkelighet.

Derfor hjelper jeg studentene mine med å:
- bli funded hos prop firms (f.eks. FTMO)
- trade kontoer på $50k, $100k, $200k+
- skalere inntekten uten å risikere egen kapital

Jeg trader selv store funded-kontoer og har flere studenter som har:
- blitt konsistente
- bestått prop firm challenges
- skalert egenkapital
- tjener betydelige beløp sammenlignet med tidligere jobbinntekt
- hatt muligheten til å si opp jobben og trade på fulltid

Jeg lover ingen raske penger – men potensialet er enormt hvis dette gjøres riktig.

⸻

STRUKTUR, OPPFØLGING OG ANSVAR:

Mentorshipet er strukturert og personlig.
Du kan forvente:
- oppgaver og lekser som gir øyetrening og repetisjon
- tett oppfølging slik at feil rettes tidlig
- få bekreftelse på at du har fullt forstått temaet og er klar til å gå videre

Noen er helt ferske, andre har erfaring – undervisningen tilpasses ditt nivå og læringsstil.
Målet er at du blir selvstendig og konsistent, ikke avhengig av meg.

⸻

EKSTRA VERDI:

Som student får du også:
- COT-data (bank-posisjonering)
- programmer, verktøy og ressurser jeg selv har betalt mye for
- hjelp til å bestå prop firm challenges eller skalere egenkapital
- personlige innspilte læringsvideoer hvis du trenger det
- innsikt i trades jeg selv tar slik at vi kan tjene penger sammen

Jeg utvikler også en EA-robot for automatisert trading. Når den er ferdig vil den selges separat, men studenter får tilgang uten ekstra kostnad.

⸻

AVSLUTNING:

Jeg tar maks 3 studenter samtidig for å sikre solid personlig oppfølging. Kvalitet over kvantitet.

Jeg er så trygg på metodene jeg lærer bort at:
Hvis du følger reglene og ikke blir profitabel, refunderer jeg hele beløpet.

Dette mentorshipet er bygget slik at det er det eneste mentorshipet jeg selv skulle ønske jeg hadde da jeg startet.

Har du spørsmål, er det bare å sende meg en melding.
