Algo Trading using Python

This course is a step-by-step guide to algorithmic trading using Python. It covers everything from setting up software and learning Python basics to building and automating trading strategies for equities and options using platforms like Zerodha, XTS, and Dhan. It also includes real-world option strategies and debugging techniques.

In Lesson 1, Introduction, you will understand the basics and importance of algo trading and learn how to install Python and essential tools needed to start building your own trading algorithms.

In Lesson 2, API Integration, you will learn to connect broker APIs like Dhan, Zerodha, or XTS with Python to fetch data and place orders.

In Lesson 3, Basics of Python, you will start with Python basics—understanding strings, performing basic operations like addition, subtraction, and multiplication, and learning how to fix common errors. You will then move on to tracking the market in real time, placing conditions to get desired outputs, and running your code in a loop. Finally, you will explore concepts like dictionaries and while loops, and get introduced to basic market scanning techniques.

In Lesson 4, Build Your Own Algo, you will learn to build and run live trading algorithms for equities and options. You will understand how to create indicators, set entry and exit conditions, place intraday orders, and ensure the algo runs continuously without duplicating trades. For options, you will explore a high-probability option selling strategy using Implied Volatility (IV), along with proper entry, exit, stop-loss, and adjustment techniques.

In Lesson 5, Mentorship Program, you will understand the importance of backtesting and get introduced to the mentorship program.
