Introduction to Python for Finance

[@oldguywholifts]

Dude you have ace presentation skills. No waffle, no stupid humour fillers to expand the session.... just concise and 'all you need to know" content delivery. Straight talking && on point.. 10/10

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks Munsoor! I'll try to throw in a bit of humour tho ;)

[@borninmauritius]

3 months of getting confused through so many tutorial, i finally found this video and everything works perfectly. thank you so much, keep these videos going. Subscribed.

[@RichardMoglen]

Great to hear!

[@davidmurphy8104]

honestly man ive been trying for so long to learn python for finance and this is the first video that has actually helped me make concrete, actionable steps towards building my programs. thanks so much for your hard work! much appreciated

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks so much! I'm glad to hear it

[@ThePharaohClub]

Dude! I'm so freaking lucky to have found your channel. I just started to learn Python/Pycharm and I needed something like this. never stop making videos! Hope to see you explaining other things soon like forecasting models, SVM, etc

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks man! I'll be posting another video this week. I'm going to start doing ML soon and once I understand it better I'll share some programs.

[@pantherapardus4175]

For two years I have been trying to understand python. This 25 minute video might just have been my holy grail. Thanks a million

[@RichardMoglen]

wow thanks Denis! I have more python videos that might help you too.

[@pantherapardus4175]

@@RichardMoglen I intend going through each of them. Are they part of the channel or would you be kind to direct me to the links🙂

[@zenfiretrading3848]

You should do more complete Python courses/algorithmic/machine learning courses and sell them. You got a great speaking voice and flow. That is sooo important. It cant be understated!

[@pj5328]

First off, I NEVER leave comments. Truly excellent intro for my "learning python project" - an algo trading program. Not the first to say this, but I'm very happy that I stumbled onto your channel today !! Hope to see you in a Lambo dealership soon ;)

[@RichardMoglen]

Haha thanks PJ, glad it was helpful, best of luck with your project!

[@aaronmacken]

Can't wait to start this series. I'm a react developer, so following along with a basic "How to code in python" course bores the crap out of me. Learning to use it while also building some cool functional stuff is a home run. Thanks in advance

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks Bob, you are most likely a much better coder than I am but I hope you find the series helpful

[@kevinspaeth5895]

I am so thankful that everything presented in this presentation worked for me!! I ran into a few problems along the way, like having fat fingers and all, but I got the results just like they were shown in the video! This is so awesome! I hate going through a video and then you are about half way through and something does not work like it is being shown. Everything worked perfectly! Thank you for doing this. I can't wait to start episode #2! Applicable uses are being shown as well! Very cool.

[@hl6859]

Richard, you will become a legend. Thanks for this.

[@RichardMoglen]

No problem!

[@sawyermeegan4610]

If you run into the error of "NameError: name 'QQQ' is not defined" you may have to update yfinance. 'pip install yfinance==0.1.62' I learned I lot from this video, thanks for your work Richard.

[@micheladwyer7229]

I am excited about the rest of this series!

[@RichardMoglen]

so am I!

[@JJ-cq9hj]

Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart!

[@javier.benavente]

Congrats Richard, can't imagine how many hours you've dedicated to the program and the video, awesome work as always!

[@RichardMoglen]

Thanks Javier! This video took a lot longer than most of mine since I tried to get it in one take. Also forgot to hit the record button on a few shots haha.

[@valie2025]

I come from r/StockMarket, fresh grad here who only used R during studies, and really interested in learning python with this series! I hope your work will catch all the attention it deserves

[@RichardMoglen]

thank you! much appreciated

[@vdzneladze1]

Richard, place more videos on Python Finance. Your channel is a great place to learn it.

[@RichardMoglen]

Will do, I'm working on a few ideas right now

[@noahberman625]

This content is unbeatable, thank you for sharing. I can't wait to go through all the videos on your channel.

very very useful. thank you Richard

[@RichardMoglen]

[@blackice214]

This adds more dexterity for sure , I currently use Google sheets since you don’t need any api calls for financial info ....it’s an Embedded Formula !!! Which is crazy because I’ve used a lot of software in my time and this is the simplest ...just code in the columns with the info you want then drag across as the formula picks up your tickets dynamically and voila

[@RichardMoglen]

Google sheets is fantastic. I use it all the time. Python can take it a step further though and you can pretty do anything you want.

[@blackice214]

Richard Moglen That’s why I’m here , looking forward to these.

[@RichardMoglen]

@@blackice214 Anything specific you want to learn about?

[@blackice214]

Richard Moglen I don’t know your history in finance but I use to work in that sector before I made the switch to data science and I’m wondering if you know how build a portfolio with I would say 8-12 equities and have market info feeding the program on a variety of factors and ratios to know when to re balance it for example if the cash flow ratio gets too low on one it would notify you and so forth .....I currently use Alteryx as well with market info api calls from alpha advantage which is free.........might be to complicated I don’t know haha

[@teslyai]

@@RichardMoglen lol i like using python wit hthe google sheets api but the documentation of it is bad so its not as easy

[@johnmason9883]

Richard, thanks for doing this video. Much appreciated.

[@RichardMoglen]

My pleasure!

[@josephgibbons1195]

I began as a python tinkerer and then fell in love with statistics (while doing some independent study on data science). I am so excited for this video series as it is one of the things that excites me most about the stock exchange -- using python to facilitate it and maybe even some machine learning for predictions! Thanks for starting up this series!

[@RichardMoglen]

no problem! I love exploring the things you can do with python. I plan to investigate ml in a future episode.

[@ve2066]

really helpful man words can't express how much you are helping me

[@RichardMoglen]

I appreciate that!

[@cyborgsmurf6446]

EPIC! ♥Finally I could make a program that worked same as the tutorial. Either I'm getting better at programming or this video is so good it actually makes me better at programming... fantastic video. I need more!!!

[@RichardMoglen]

Hahaha! There's plenty more to the python for finance series GL!

As a longtime IDB/MS subscriber, I am loving all of your videos. I am also using this series as a catalyst to learn Python. Baby steps.... I am hoping to use what you are showing in your vids to run against my MS screens. Already using them to good effect, but what to automate and get away from cut/paste Excel work. Thanks!
