Build Your Own Investment/Trading Algorithm: Markets, Risk, and Python/AI

From 70.57 £ /h

Hi! I’m John, a Swiss quantitative trader-developer with an MSc in Finance. I run 30+ systematic strategies (equities, FX, crypto) and love turning complex finance into clear, practical steps you can actually use.

What you’ll learn (mix & match)

Financial markets & macro basics: order types, ETFs vs. stocks, costs/slippage, yield curves, policy shocks, gold/Treasuries as hedges.

Investing & portfolio: asset allocation, volatility targeting, drawdown control, rebalancing.

Build your own strategy: momentum/mean reversion/factors, feature design, backtesting with costs, out-of-sample validation.

AI for finance (intro): simple NLP/sentiment overlays and evaluation pitfalls.

Execution hygiene: from backtest to real-life constraints; monitoring and post-trade review.

How my classes work

Short concept → hands-on build → recap & next steps.

You leave each session with templates, checklists, and notebooks you can reuse.

Who this is for:

Motivated beginners to advanced: high-school (16+), university, career switchers, and active investors.

Coding not required—helpful but optional. I adapt the pace and provide starter notebooks.

Typical 5-lesson path (example)

Markets & risk metrics (returns, drawdown, Sharpe)

Portfolio & position sizing (target vol, costs)

Macro dashboard & regime thinking

Strategy prototype (momentum or mean-reversion) + OOS test

I’m John, a Swiss quantitative trader-developer (MSc Finance, HEC Lausanne). I build and operate 30+ live systematic strategies (equities, FX, crypto) and I love turning complex market ideas into simple, practical skills.

Production mindset: IBKR/FIX Gateway, MT5, SQL, Docker; clean data + realistic costs/slippage.

Evidence over hype: out-of-sample testing, walk-forward, and clear baselines.

Hands-on build (e.g., SPY risk metrics, macro dashboard, factor screen, or a simple Python/TradingView strategy).

Recap with templates, checklists, and a mini-project to keep you progressing.

Hello!

I'm Victor. I have experience in face-to-face and online econometrics, macro and microeconomics classes, and I worked in macroeconomics in the financial market. I am also currently connected with micro-finance topics during my PhD research.

My idea of a class is more open, starting with some chat to understand what the student needs. I usually ask for the course design (syllabus and other material you may have) to see what your professor is up to and ask the student's difficulties, so we can have a start point.

If you have any questions, I will be glad to help you.

Investing in cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc) is an activity that can allow you to have extra income every month with very little time invested in it (you can easily do it just a few days a month and after working hours)

However, the amount of information online on how to start this activity can be overwhelming and confusing.

Since I have been investing in crypto for 5 years and achieved financial freedom through it, I can show you the basics and also the systems I constantly use to create a long-term profitable portfolio, while getting weekly, compounded, passive income in the meanwhile.

Just some of the topics we'll cover, that we'll give you confidence in your long-term investments:
- What is Bitcoin?
- What is the blockchain?
- What is Ethereum?
- Other key cryptocurrencies - Some examples
- Where can I learn more on my own (top non-biased media resources I used for the last 5 years)?
- Where can I buy and sell cryptocurrencies?
- Why does Bitcoin go up massively every 4 years? - How does the market REALLY work? -
- How can I create a long-term portfolio with just a little bit of time invested every week? (explained step-by-step)
- When should I buy and sell my cryptocurrencies? (personal opinion)

Give it a try and I promise you will love it :)

Finance, accounting & economics – clearly explained, with practical support
My name is Kian, an experienced tutor from Bern. I guide students, career starters, and professionals on their journey through the world of numbers—whether in their studies, exam preparation, or in their everyday professional lives.

With my structured, motivating, and practical approach, I'll help you not only solve problems, but also truly understand economic relationships, confidently handle numbers, and confidently apply financial knowledge in real-life situations. My lessons are personalized, accessible, and at eye level.

Who I am – and why I teach:
I have many years of experience teaching financial and economic topics – from accounting to business administration to financial analysis. I teach students from various disciplines as well as professionals who want to expand their business skills.

In addition to my teaching activities, I have participated in various business projects, including budget planning, financial modeling, and cost accounting. This combination of theory and practice makes my teaching particularly realistic and, at the same time, easy to understand.

I love it when complex content suddenly makes sense – and when people realize they can handle business topics confidently and strategically. For me, tutoring is more than just imparting knowledge – it's a collaborative process of developing ideas that builds self-confidence.

What you can expect from me:

-Individual lessons with a focus on finance, bookkeeping, accounting & economics
-Support with exams, homework, projects or professional challenges
-Step-by-step explanations – practical, clear and adapted to your situation
-Communication of business contexts and financial decision-making logic
-Development of long-term numerical understanding and structured thinking
-Flexible lessons in Bern or online – competent, individual & sustainable

Why I can help you understand finances:

Because I know how difficult economics can seem at first glance – and because I can help you look behind the terms, formulas and processes:
How companies tick, how to interpret numbers, and how to make smart decisions from them.

With me, you won't just learn how to make bookings correctly—you'll learn how to think like an entrepreneur. I'll guide you not only in understanding business, but also in working with it confidently.

Learn finance.
Understand how the economy works – and how you can use it to your advantage.
If you are ready to think economically, I am ready to accompany you.
