Curriculum
What this book will teach you
Financial books assume that you, the reader, don’t have the possibility to do more than validate the given calculations in the book. This is true for almost everyone. But if you don’t want to be blinded by fancy calculations, which are optimized to give big returns, then read this book.
What will you get?
- 85 pages of content with explanations of concepts and supporting code.
- Investment strategy You will know how to build simple investment strategies and test calculate the return using pandas.
- Backtesting It will teach you the principles of backtesting using return (CAGR), maximum drawdown, and volatility.
- Starting from scratch It will show you how to install all you need and various ways to get historic stock data.
- Visualization You will learn how to visualize your results
- Covering concepts Calculate the return of the portfolio, what correlation tells us and how to calculate it, and much more.
Read this or lose another 12% in the market
You can read books that promise you a 12% return with valid calculations to back it up. It is called backtesting. But actually, there is a catch that almost nobody can verify on their own. If you don’t want to be one of them then read and learn the skills.
