Projects That Make You Stand Out
Each of these four large projects ends as a complete tool for your CV, and you learn to explain and defend every part of it.
The four projects
Option Pricing ToolThis tool prices one option in three independent ways, so that each method checks the other two.See the projectBacktesting EnvironmentThis program lets you test your own trading strategies on past prices in a scientifically sound way and shows how far to trust the result.See the projectMarket Regime DetectionThis tool finds the calm and the wild phases of a market and shows how risk changes between them.See the projectPortfolio Optimizer and Risk ReportThis tool builds a portfolio with your own optimizer and sums up its risk in a report on one page.See the project
Every module of the course also ends with a mini project, a short program on its own topic that prepares you for these larger ones.
How each project works
- 01You build the tool in five or six steps, and every step adds one part to it.
- 02Each step explains the idea, walks through the code piece by piece and names its limits.
- 03After the last step, all parts run together in one program that you can download and run.
- 04A final section goes through the follow-up questions that an interviewer may ask about it.
