This is the most common comment you could ever read on web courses. I’m sure your teacher explained well, you were just bored and didn’t pay attention. Here you have 4 hours for everything you need to know and you can stop and start whenever you want. It’s easier. But don’t discredit other people because you have not been able to keep up with them.

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 = final_datafrme.append(.....) . Just put all of that inside the try block, and then do an except KeyError, and handle the eroor

The best place to start would probably be just googling the “python finance college course” and seeing what colleges offer that you’d be willing to pay for.

I worked on it for a full month using the Interactive Brokers API in python and watched a bunch of videos focusing on day trading indicators etc to try and code the bot. In the end, I hadn't accounted for the commission the brokerages take (about $5 per trade which adds up especially if you're not trading with a lot) and this eventually started discouraging me a little. If anyone does run into the same problem, I would look into leverage which is riskier but easier to overcome tis problem. Risk analysis is also crucial (setting stop losses, take profits).

Amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing this! Still going through it, but there's an observation I need to make for any beginners that might stumble upon this video: To create a new column with values based on another column(s), using a for loop to iterate through rows and make calculations (as shown in 2:31:11) will be EXTREMELY inefficient on larger datasets. It is better to use Pandas' `apply()` method paired with a `lambda` function, as follows: ``` # create list with time periods time_period = ['One-Year', 'Six-Month', 'Three-Month', 'One-Month'] # create new fields (or update existing ones) based on previous list # and calculate percentile based on Price Return for i in time_period: change_col = f'{i} Price Return' percentile_col = f'{i} Return Percentile' hqm_dataframe[percentile_col] = hqm_dataframe.apply( lambda x: score(hqm_dataframe[change_col], x[change_col]), axis=1) ``` Same method can be applied to calculate HQM Score using Pandas' `mean()` method: ``` hqm_dataframe['HQM Score'] = hqm_dataframe.apply( lambda x: pd.Series([x[f'{time_period[0]} Return Percentile'], x[f'{time_period[1]} Return Percentile'], x[f'{time_period[2]} Return Percentile'], x[f'{time_period[3]} Return Percentile'] ]).mean(), axis=1) ```

There were a few questions I had while watching (I am a noob so sorry if any of them sound dumb): - How do you deploy that? I imagine you wouldn't want it running in Jupyter Notebook. - Is the accuracy-loss of floats safe to ignore? - While the concept of high-quality vs low-quality momentum makes sense, why is momentum a good metric? Isn't it likely that since you rely on data from a year ago, your model identify stocks that have already seen their growth and won't grow more? (Like making you buy at high, instead of low) - Would it be sensible instead of calculating a score to sort all the columns based on different return_percentiles? - Also, when do you know to sell? I know the premise was that we have a team of traders to whom we send our excel files, but while they'd be able to know how many stocks to buy based on our position and the filtering we did, how do they know when to sell?

A great detailed starter course to learn some Python. As a licensed commodity trading advisor (and a software engineer), I would never advise someone to trade this though.

1:19:03 For rounding down, we can use integer division? For e.g: 5/2 is 2.5 But, 5//2 is 2 That will allow us not to import math

Just as a safety precaution since you never want to trust someone to know what to do you can use a while loop for the input validation: invalid_input = True while invalid_input: try: portfolio_size = input("Enter the value of our portfolio:") val = float(portfolio_size) print(val) invalid_input = False except Exception as exception: print("You must enter an integer")

Easy way to add a cost column to your pandas df: final_dataframe = final_dataframe.apply(lambda x: x['Stock Price'] * x['Number of Shares to Buy'], 1) *** don't forget the ',1', it specifies the axis :)

at 2:28:12 While implementing the percentiles, I noticed that the data I am receiving has None type in it. So the scipy.stats module throws an error as it cant compare the None type instances. For now I am replacing it with 0. Just for people who face this error you can just add this right before you assign your return percentiles for row in hqm_dataframe.index: for time_period in time_periods: if hqm_dataframe.loc[row,f'{time_period} return'] == None: hqm_dataframe.loc[row,f'{time_period} return']=0

I actually did a hqm_dataframe.dropna(inplace=True), as this values are from stocks that are probably not available anymore using the API
