Course details :

Algorithmic trading makes use of data science in form of complex formulas, various mathematical models, and human oversight, to make a decision of buy or sell in the stock market.

Though it might be sound complicated and hard to execute on your own, it’s not that difficult once you dive in and grasp the idea. In this 2-days workshop, you will learn how to do algorithmic trading using the R programming language.

You will start from the basic level. Getting to know R first, then move forward to the practical example of algorithmic trading.

* The 2-day workshop will be taught in Bahasa Indonesia

Data Science Series

Workshops in our Data Science Series are tailored to casual learners, working professionals and non-programmers that are taking their first steps into data science and machine learning.

Students are not assumed to have a working knowledge of R or prior proficiency in statistics / mathematics / algebra. At such the workshop follows a gentle learning curve and emphasize on hands-on, one-to-one tutoring from our team of instructors and teaching assistants.

Consider taking our Data Science Intermediate workshops instead for more advanced-level materials in statistical programming and machine learning.

Past Workshops in this Series:

Students work through tons of real-life examples using sample datasets donated by our team of mentors and corporate partners. We believe in a learn-by-building approach, and we employ instructors who are uncompromisingly passionate about your growth and education.
