Python Programming for Financial Markets
Learn Python from the ground up through financial examples: core syntax, pandas time series, returns calculations, plotting and clean, testable code.
This course focuses on the analytical layer between raw data and research decisions. You will clean and align price, volume and fundamental datasets, explore distributions and relationships, run regressions with statsmodels and build cross-sectional screens. The course stresses common analytical traps in financial data, such as survivorship bias, look-ahead bias and spurious correlation, so that conclusions are defensible.
