It is an excellent course to apply statistic, probability and python methods in financial modelling. I would like that each section had resources to study statistics concepts related to the videos.

Very useful introductury course into both python and statistic analysis wich allows you to create a simple trading strategy. It serves as a great first step but there is a long way to go still.

Good course! It will be better to put more challenging questions as a practice in the jupyter notebook.

The basics were not explained properly.

A lot of code was unexplained.

Forum doubts were not answered .

Lots of info to learn. Does not challenge you to actually write the code, which is a big drawback.

More time should be devoted on python syntax used and more models and examples should be included
