The Workshops on April 30th
With the launch of futures on Quantopian, we will debut our new Futures Workshop at QuantCon on April 30th. The futures workshop is designed to give you a jump-start in understanding how futures are traded algorithmically. Plus, we will reinforce core statistical principles that will help you improve the rigor and reliability of your strategies.

Due to the high demand for the Advanced Algorithmic Trading Workshop, we have also added a second class, happening on April 30th.

You can learn more about the workshops and register here. Our engineer team will be on hand at all workshops, to help answer questions and walk you through any coding issues.

Hope you can join us!
