I've taken several of Mohsen's courses and I live how be breaks things down in to reasonable units, I've taken other Python/code courses where the modes are too long to reasonably get through in a single sitting. Great job

It is but it is a little updated it could be redone a little bit with the new version of freqtrade, it is quite different and it seems quite a few people are having problems.

The course might have been good in 2018 when it was launched. Nonetheless, in October 2023 the course is not updated. I had problems trying to install all the software. Additionally, the Virtual Machine cannot connect to Telegram because this app does not support older versions of software. Furthermore, as I installed software from the course, I could not get a refund. Now I feel frustrated because I lost a lot of time looking for a good course and because I stressed a lot. Therefore, I would not recommend this course because it is outdated.

There talked nothing about Github but lectures going on and on and all of the sudden at section 27, theres a Github and you have the picture, very unkind and unhelpful, You cannot learn anything about Python.

The entire configuration set up didn't work. Imported the "finished product" into my virtual box -- couldn't update a file because I ran out of space. Python primer was very poorly taught and very haphazard. Don't want to any further because if the technical preparation is this bad, then I have no confidence in their trading bot.

Needed to upload and install various programs and create a virtual machine. Speaks to fast, and could not make the various programs work. Wasted a lot of time without touching any of the trading or testing.

Dear morsen, you are a god to me. There is no other investor who can teach me so much. It was a great lecture. Virtual images can be difficult to create yourself. There are older versions and dependencies. However, it is already prepared. If you understand programming, you can easily learn how to use it.

Course is outdated. Technically still works but require massive time investment to figure out what to do differently.

I've bought Forex Algorithmic Trading Course: Code a Forex Robot course but I did not finish it because I don't want to learn MT4 when its no longer supported. Its not difficult for me to learn MT5 but I do want to spend time digging and search the documentation of MT5. I just wanna test a simple strategy, lets see if I will be able to create it after this cause otherwise I need to learn MT5 anyway pepehands.
