Executive Education in Algorithmic Finance Can Improve Your Career Opportunities

The task of using sophisticated quantitative methods to operate on financial markets is a fascinating topic. Especially because there will never be a one-fits-all approach to winning in markets using only computers. One has to combine knowledge of the underlying markets with in-depth knowledge of computational methods to build a trading model, which has to be adapted whenever market conditions change, so a constant recalibration of models is required.

Different quantitative model families have to be applied to cover the whole spectrum of available methods. For example, Monte-Carlo Simulation, Decision Optimization under Uncertainty, as well as Statistical Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning need to be understood in their relation to successful integration in any contemporary trading environment.

What to Expect with the Algorithmic Finance Course

You will benefit from three different methodological approaches (Simulation, Optimization, and Machine Learning). A basic understanding of financial markets, as well as the basics of Statistics and Probability Theory are required to follow the lectures optimally.
