I like the way Jose teaching the material, I am getting a good understanding of the topics that we are going thought (which is good), however I just wish there were more examples of strategies, researches and work technics for Quanconnect. There was very little exercises at the last section of the course …. it was promised that I will feel comfortable to create any strategy in QQ once finish the material, but clearly that not the case, defiantly not there yet unfortunately . It feels like the course was stopped in the middle at the most important part
Sebastian Teo –
Mostly focus on basic use of QuantConnect with simple and easy to follow python coding.
Jacobo Pérez Schwartz –
Excellent course, as expected from Jose Portilla. Loved that his python refreshes are not the same in every course, I learn a bit in each of those. Amazing teacher, great knowledge and explanations. I was hoping to see arbitrages. Thanks!!!
Artur Agababyan –
This course is very precise and very interesting, based on the concepts of finance. The course is suitable for beginners.
Too bad QuantConnect does not allow you to analyze the European markets (CAC 40, DAX 40, etc.). If other similar platforms exist for European markets can you add them as for alternative data sources, please.
Riccardo Manazza –
That was an abrupt ending to the course, there was no ,Where do we go from here.
I learned a lot!! wish there was a connection between the first part and second part of the course how to use machine learning and algorithm.
I want to thank Jose for putting together another amazing and easy to follow course
Miguel Pallás –
Sections 2-7 are really good. However, I think the capstone project in Section 8 could have been more thorough.
I am halfway through Section 9. The leap in difficulty is noticeable and I am not following as smoothly as in the previous sections. Maybe more practice exercises and more detailed notes would help. Having said that, it is also a student’s duty to go the extra mile and look for resources if they feel they are lagging behind. Cheers!
Massimo Pascucci –
Amazing Content! Very informative and hopefully applicable. I love this course, but really just wish at some points the instruction was a little bit slower. The concepts are pretty technical and further explanation at a slower pace would have been helpful.
Allen Lin –
Coming into this course from an internship at a quantitative hedgefund, I can say there were a ton of shortcuts I could’ve used that I wasn’t aware of. Honestly one of the best classes I’ve taken so far online!
Ronald van Ravensberg –
A bit to much focus on using QuantConnect in stead of general explanation of the concepts (buting, selling equaties, backtesting and using data to research stocks and testing the strategies.
The first part was a very good explaintion of how to use pandas, matplotlib and numpy. The second part felt like a manual for QuantConnect. Still a usefull course but could be better.

The financial terms are easy to understand and come always with a practical application of them, that make’s the course just what I need
