(How) Can I generate sustainable Income and make a living with Trading? - That is one of the most frequently asked questions in Day Trading / Algorithmic Trading.

This unique course provides the skills, knowledge, and techniques required to (realistically!) answer that question. The course uses rigorous quantitative methods and is 100% data-driven (Python coding required!).


You will learn how to make use of the most powerful trading features and techniques:

  • Path-dependent Simulation techniques to find a sustainable level of Trading Income

  • Taking into account Taxation, Inflation and Shortfall Risk

  • Strategy Backtesting and Forward Testing

  • Strategy Optimization techniques (One/Many Parameter Optimization, Multi-Period Optimization, Smoothing, and more...)

  • Finding the optimal Degree of Leverage in Margin Trading (Kelly Criterion and more advanced techniques)

  • Improving Trading Performance and mange Risk with Stop Loss and Take Profits Orders

  • and more...


Important: these techniques and skills are highly relevant and must-knows for any Trader and any Trading activity:

  • for Assets like Forex (Currencies), Cryptocurrencies, Stocks, Indexes, Commodities, and more...

  • for Strategies based on Technical/Fundamental Analysis, Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning & Deep Learning), Statistical Arbitrage, and more...

  • for Trading with Brokers like Interactive Brokers (IBKR), Binance, TD Ameritrade, Oanda, FXCM, and more...


Performance Optimization and Risk Management require... rigorous Performance and Risk Measurement. The course covers the following Metrics and Methods:

  • Mean-Variance Analysis

  • Risk-adjusted Return Metrics (e.g. Sharpe Ratio)

  • Downside Deviation and Sortino Ratio

  • Tail Risk Metrics

  • Maximum Drawdown, Maximum Drawdown Duration, and Calmar Ratio

  • Deep Analysis of Levered Trading and the Kelly Criterion

  • Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)

  • Investment Multiple

  • and many more...


You´ll have the opportunity to practice what you have learned in various Coding Exercises/Challenges (real data and meaningful questions!).


This is not only a course on Performance and Risk Management for Trading. It´s an in-depth coding course on Python and its Data Science Libraries Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib. You will learn how to use and master these Libraries for (Financial) Data Analysis, Optimization, and Trading.

Please note: This is not a course for complete Python Beginners (check out my other courses!)
