We are pleased to offer a free 90-minute training course on Udemy, designed to teach students how to trade stocks and options algorithmically without writing code. It provides a comprehensive introduction to Node-RED, a low-code, event-driven programming tool for automating tasks and integrating APIs. Node-RED is an open-source, flow-based development tool for visual programming. It was developed by IBM and is used for wiring together hardware devices, APIs, and online services in an intuitive, drag-and-drop interface. It is particularly popular for IoT applications, automation, and API integrations.

‍

Students will be given access to the proprietary, password-protected trading platform, MachineTrader™, under the terms of a 30-day free trial.  MachineTrader™ was designed to serve the needs of serious traders who want to automate their trading but who lack the full stack programming skills to build their own platforms. Each MachineTrader™ trading subscription includes a hosted website which can expand to your unique requirements.  This also means that all of your data and strategies are completely private - your algorithms remain proprietary to you!

‍

They will also be instructed in opening a paper trading account with the registered broker/dealer, Alpaca Markets.
