About this listen
Are you looking to automate your trading strategy? Are you looking for a more efficient way of completing your financial analysis?
Python is the answer.
While looking to gain summarize our knowledge on the subject, we realized that there was a lot of information available in books and the internet. However, there seemed to be too much information. There were 500-page textbooks on the subject that had very little practical use. They were pretty useless for beginners just like a dictionary is useless for anyone trying to learn a language. All these books had tons of theory with no step-by-step guide.
There were a whole bunch of other blogs that had basic programming information with no relation to financial strategies.
With this in mind, this audiobook starts you off with a step-by-step guide to install Python on your computer; and plot/visualize relevant financial data. Later in the audiobook, you can build on your basic knowledge to learn more about advanced financial analysis and trading strategies to move forward. This audiobook is what you’ve been looking for.
Here’s what’s included in this audiobook:
- 5 reasons why Python is the best programming language for implementing financial trading strategies
- 4 basic trading strategies for success that most people have forgotten
- The importance of time series data in trading analysis
- Step-by-step guide to setting up your Python workspace
- How to import time series data from global databases into Python
- 4 different methods and examples to analyze data with python pandas
- The best Python methods to visualize data to make effective decisions
- 4 common Python financial analysis tools to decide which securities to invest in
- 5 trading strategies to forecast market trends
Even if you have never touched a computer in your life so far, you will gain a lot from this audiobook.

Swing trading is truly one of the "golden nuggets" of trading. It combines the best of both worlds - the slow pace of investing and the rapid potential gains of day trading. Based on the bulletproof trading principle of "riding the wave of the current market trend", it's the ideal strategy to learn if you want a low-risk/low-involvement income source.

In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.
