We just published a comprehensive, hands-on video course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel that will teach you how to build an automated, end-to-end algorithmic trading system from scratch using Python and Django.
This course guides you through engineering a functional, production-style web application called Momentum Trader.
The application evaluates a universe of stocks, calculates momentum scores across a 12-month lookback period (excluding the most recent month to avoid short-term reversals), generates buy/sell trading signals, and executes orders automatically into a brokerage account.
The course walks through the full development stack, breaking down both the quantitative logic and system architecture. :
Web Framework & Data Modeling with Django
Market Data Pipeline with Massive
Brokerage Connectivity with SnapTrade
Risk-Free Execution with Alpaca
Watch the full tutorial on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel (2-hour watch).
