% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

A couple of observant readers already figured out that in spite of the url of this blog, past posts have been based on Python code. The gradual transfer of all of my research code from Matlab to Python is now complete. After working with Python for more than two years, I can state that it an excellent tool for research and data crunching. When it comes to collecting data from the web, cleaning and aligning datasets with missing data or building GUIs, it is the best tool I have ever come across. And don’t forget that Python is open source and free.
The only downside that I found is that it can be challenging for a new user to set up the needed tools and libraries and the information is scattered around the web. This is the reason that I decided to create a ‘Trading With Python‘ course which is focused on trading applications. The course will take you all the way from installation & data acquisition to strategy design and backtesting. After just four weeks you’ll be able to do most of the things you have seen on this blog yourself.
If you are interested in learning the best quantitative research tools and practices, pleas visit my other blog, and subscribe for the course.
