Python for Algorithmic Trading: From Idea to Cloud Deployment

 Finding the right algorithm to automatically and successfully trade in financial markets is the holy grail in finance. Not too long ago, algorithmic trading was only available and possible for institutional players with deep pockets and lots of assets under management. Recent developments in the areas of open source, open data, cloud compute, and cloud storage, as well as online trading platforms, have leveled the playing field for smaller institutions and individual traders, making it possible to get started in this fascinating discipline while equipped only with a typical notebook or desktop computer and a reliable internet connection.
