Artificial Intelligence for Trading Course Plans

Learn the fundamentals of Machine Learning and how to apply this to the world of Finance to help you both in your career, and with your investing! 

What Is Machine Learning?

What Is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning is the development of software that is able to learn and adapt without following explicit instructions. It is the backbone behind what most call Artificial Intelligence, and is the primary technology behind projects such as self-driving cars, advanced robotics, search engines, and lots more. Put simply, Machine Learning would allow you to create computer programs that learn and adapt on their own, which can handle very complicated tasks, without a lot of effort.

Programming is like a surgeon doing brain surgery. Machine Learning is more akin to a teacher teaching students in a class. While learning is the dominant way humans know how to do things. Today the dominant way of controlling computers is via programming. However, recent advances have made machine learning popular for solving problems previously impossible to do via programming.

Why is Machine Learning Good for Trading?

After understanding what Machine Learning is, it does not take a stretch of the imagination to see how self-learning and self-adapting computer programs could be useful for trading. However, to make it simple, imagine this:

  • Imagine building a computer program that can identify how many cars are in front of every McDonalds in the country, second by second, using only satellite data and video feeds;
  • Imagine building software that can read and understand every news source in the world (including Twitter, Reddit, Bloomberg, etc), every millisecond, and execute trades based on breaking events in fractions of a second.

Well, I can tell you that you don’t have to look far to see the results of such programs: the largest hedge funds in the world, including Bridgewater (Ray Dalio), Renaissance (Jim Simmons), Two Sigma, and more already use these techniques to make them fabulous amounts of wealth. Now you too can learn these techniques for your own trading.

Course Projects

Projects signal to employers that you know your stuff! You’ll build an impressive portfolio of projects that demonstrate your abilities. The Live Classes plan includes the projects below, while the Project Help / Tutoring plan includes these and help with your own custom project.

Project 1: Forecasting Stock Prices Using Machine Learning

In this project, we will use the latest machine learning techniques to forecast a stock’s price 15 minutes into the future on a rolling basis. This technique can be applied for your trading to help you get better returns, and can also be used in many other finance applications such as forecasting revenue, profit, and other time-series data.

Project 2: Using Machine Learning to Trade on the News

For this project, you will pull data from a news source (e.g. Bloomberg, Twitter, Reddit, etc) and then train a machine-learning algorithm to read the news and suggest trades. Some examples of this could be breaking news, analyst recommendations, social media interest, and more, where your algorithm could react hundreds of times faster than a human being.

What Are The Plans & How Are They Structured?

Self Directed Plan

Our collection of instructional videos and sample code will allow you to work at your own pace. Furthermore, our video library is constantly expanding and you will have lifetime access to all future videos and code.

“I didn’t want to buy a course of just videos. I think having somebody to interact with, like you’ve been great both on Discord and chat… Then the class has been interactive but also you’ve hopped on a call and just helped me out which has been game changing. So that’s why I chose Lumiwealth, it was really because you guys offer that level of care.”

“There’s people coming from way different backgrounds, some people are day traders like me others are more in the field of finance, and so it was really cool to just meet everybody and interact.”

– Agim Salija

“The class has been great. It has done exactly what I sought out. I have learned techniques to help me assess the quality of trading strategies which I didn’t have before. Overall, it has boosted my ability to create a trading bot and more easily test strategies in a way that I wasn’t able to before.”

“For anyone who is looking to learn Python, Finance, and putting together the dots in order to create their own strategy or enter the job market, I think this would be a great course to take.”  

– Rene Serulle

“Absolutely would recommend the classes. I went live with this trading bot a couple of weeks ago and right now I have almost made 80% of the money I spent on the course itself back from the bot itself. The trading strategies that I learned in the class paid for the class itself. I don’t think there is a better return on investment.”

“Learning from you was one of the biggest advantages. The depth of your experience you have and sharing that with all of us is amazing. To have that kind of person who’s willing to teach other people and help them enhance their lives is amazing.” 

– Santayan Paul

“I liked the variety of things being covered the most during the classes, not only how to set up a bot and connect to a broker, but also CAGR, long-term economic data, and things that I wasn’t really thinking about. For example, how long term trends can affect short-term prices. I liked the overall breadth of the class and how it wasn’t just all about the algo trading portion of it; there was a lot of how and what too.”

“I would recommend Lumiwealth’s classes to anybody who wants to understand and take more control of their trading. To anyone who wants to learn about Python/technology and trading and how these two things interplay with each other.” 

– Joel Brass

A practical approach to coding and finance. The instructor makes you think deep about where the data is arriving from, how to use it, and where to get it. A real resume-worthy course that won't go away for a while.

I enjoyed my time at Lumiwealth Academy, as I got to learn how to code with python under a financial and investment setting. After Lumiwealth, I was able to secure a job at BNY Mellon
