Prior experience in programming is required to fully understand the implementation of machine learning algorithm taught in the course. However, Python programming knowledge is optional. If you want to be able to code and implement the machine learning strategies in Python, then you should be able to work with ‘Dataframes’. These skills are covered in the course ‘Python for Trading’. Basic knowledge of machine learning algorithms and train and test datasets is a plus. These concepts are covered in our free course: Introduction to Machine Learning.
