Sir, you clearly explained both financial and coding keywords better than my professors did in 4 years of schooling. You're a great teacher!!

[XenonFH]

I like how the errors were made without editing them out from the clip. Thanks for including all those in.

[jairusknight]

I don't comment often but this guy is an amazing teacher. He explained everything in such good detail. It helped me as I need a deep understanding of a topic to grasp it completely. Keep up the great work.

Excellent course, NIck!! I enjoyed very much the "real life" approach that included the footage of tracking down bugs. Thanks for not editing that out!

[ferbholstead]

I LOVE how you go through your own process of debugging. It really helps me.

Still watching and learning the topics, so far so good, thanks a lot for generous offering this great course and I look forward to seeing this extended topic with advanced techniques and link to specific brokers' API like IB, Futu, etc. Thanks again for your great teaching!!

50min in and am already in love with the style of teaching. Errors are left in the vid as well as the logical process of debugging them, everything he mentions are backed up by examples. Superb content

[dinamka]

Thank you that you didn't edit video, these debugging/looking for error processes actually make things more clear. And teach how to deal with such cases.
And thank you for this video at all, it's great!

Excellent course for someone new to Algo Trading. It’s precise and well designed course. I would like to see something more along lines of simulating real time strategies like VWAP, TWAP. This one is more of pre-trade analytics. Nonetheless I liked it and strongly suggest to anyone new to Algo trading space!

[SetVet]

Great course. Thank you for all the work you put in and your thorough explanation of how it all works together while coding. I haven't been coding python for more than a year and this was a great refresher course into data science and api use

[BT-tevx]

this was awesome and though I've just finished the first part only, I cannot thank you enough for how well you explained each portion of the project. Now only, if I could build up from here!

[primaire]

Not only application specific, he goes through very comprehensive instruction on Python. Huge kudo!

[alexbordei]

thank you so much for this course!!! I started my coding journey with Free Code Camp, I now work full time as a developer. This topic is on my to do list!!!

[javierortizmir]

to whom it can be of use: if you're stuck because of a KeyError 'DISCA', that is because the original stock list has had some change. You can solve it by using a try/except block when doing the the iteration for the final_dataframe = . Just put all of that inside the try block, and then do an except KeyError, and handle the eroor

The API token is not valid anymore, kindly correct it or suggest any other token that we can use

[KANGAR]

great video, what I really liked is that you showed in a super clear way how to use the requests library in Python and now I do not need to depend on 3rd party wrappers that might not have all functionality! thanks!

It's June 2024 and it is giving the error "Sandbox environment is disabled for this subscription tier.", API key may have expired. Can you please update the key!

[lukenothere]

Oh my god, again, you are doing god work. From dynamic programming now this.

[kongseeyang]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial! I wish there was more of this information 4-5 years ago.

[kostas]

Congrats Nick McCullum for creating this. Good that the debugging parts are left in, so we can understand in more details how various parts work.
