This course is part of my interactive brokers API series of courses and focuses on trading and managing fixed income securities using TWS Python API client. This is probably the only course available anywhere in the world that encompasses algorithmic trading concepts in the arcane world of bond trading and students should find this topic very interesting. Fixed income security has hitherto been the “cliquish” and the “old fashioned” asset class owing to how the bond market is structured and regulated. However, things are beginning to change in the right direction and bonds are also slowly beginning to partake in the rapidly evolving algorithmic trading landscape. This course will not only introduce you to algorithmic bonds trading on the Interactive Brokers platform but will also help you gain a thorough understanding of portfolio optimization concepts using quantitative finance tools.
