Description

Welcome to the first-ever course on (Automated) Cryptocurrency Portfolio Investing. Investing in Cryptocurrencies has been highly profitable but also risky and volatile in the past.Did you know that you can substantially improve the performance of your Crypto Investments withPortfolio Diversification (there is more than just Bitcoin and Ethereum)Active and frequent Portfolio Rebalancing…leading to higher Profitability and/or lower Risk!This course provides practical and simple-to-use Python tools forPortfolio Optimizationautomated Portfolio Investing & Rebalancing for Exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Kraken & co. The course is structured in four Parts:Part 1:  Basics & Prerequisites Trading vs InvestingWhat you should know about Cryptocurrencies as an Asset ClassTrading and Investing on Exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Kraken & co. Loading tons of Crypto Market Data from Data AggregatorsAnalyzing the Cryptocurrency Market with Python and PandasPart 2: Crypto Portfolio Investing and Rebalancing with PythonBuilding and using a Portfolio Investing and Rebalancing BotAPI Trading with CCXTRequired Python skills (Error Handling, Object Oriented Programming)Part 3: Crypto Portfolio Management and OptimizationFinancial Data Analysis & Performance MeasurementCreating Crypto Indices and PortfoliosPortfolio Optimization (and its Pitfalls)Reverse Optimization & the Black-Litterman modelAdvanced Topics and TheoryPart 4 (Appendix): A Python Crash Course (optional)Everything you need to know about Python Coding for this Course – no more, no lessWhat else should you know about me and the course?The course shows how to do things right. But equally important, it highlights the most commonly made mistakes in (Crypto) Investing. There is hardly any other business where beginners make so many mistakes. Why is that? A lack of skills, expertise, and experience. And: Overconfidence and overreliance on intuition. As a finance professional with an extensive academic background (MSc in Finance, CFA) my clear message is: For Trading and Investing, intuition and common sense are not your best friends. Very often, the most intuitive solution is not the correct solution!       This course is “not only” a crypto investing course but also an in-depth Python Course that goes beyond what you can typically see in other courses. Create hands-on Applications with Python and use it for your Crypto Investing Business!What are you waiting for? Join now!Thanks and looking forward to seeing you in the Course!
