\u201cNot only did the Oxford Algorithmic Trading Programme refresh the fundamentals and proper technical analysis for me, but it also taught me skills that I can implement to analyse and develop algorithmic models. It\u2019s a well-designed program and is easy to understand, [both] for [a] new trader or a sophisticated guru in the trading industry. The instructor\u2019s feedback was excellent. I will be able to apply [what I\u2019ve learnt on this program] in the real trading world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nFAQs to unlock successful algorithmic trading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does this program address the role of human emotion and \u2018gut feeling\u2019 in trading?<\/h3>\n

Will this program show me how to do algorithmic trading?<\/h3>\n

Does this program use trading software?<\/h3>\n
Because the program is theoretical in nature, you\u2019ll only need access to, and basic knowledge of, Microsoft Word and Excel. The optional technical activities are run through an integrated development environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
