Most retail traders never learn some of what you will come across here, either because those who understand the concepts have not taken the time to break this down so that anyone can follow, or because there is so much nonsense existing today that filtering through the noise can be challenging.
In this course, we aim to break down barriers so that absolutely ANYONE can understand and tap into the advantages that these techniques can provide. The lecturer, Shaun McDonogh, himself admits that he is not a math wiz, nor needs to be. Once you understand these principles, you can apply them anywhere.
We will be using the ByBit exchange (taking advantage of one major benefit offered by the exchange) to build and test our bot. At no point do we use real money for testing. Rather, we use the testate funds provided by the exchange for ensuring forward testing in a "live" testate environment.
IMPORTANT: This course is for educational purposes only. Nothing you learn in this course is promising favourable or adverse results. You will be learning known methods for calculating statistical arbitrage and building trading bots. How you test and implement this knowledge is up to you.
Who this course is for:
- Retail traders looking to gain a statistical edge in the crypto markets
- Beginner programmers looking for interesting Python projects related to trading
- Advanced traders looking for a proven strategy to add to their arsenal
