I started looking at how Python can read Microsoft Excel worksheet. It seems to be pretty easy with this Python package. Here are these articles I speak of.
When I posted another story in my Facebook programming group, it seems an educational post got this response:
Good article. I’ve been really pushing Python in the risk space. Many companies are not willing to go beyond Excel.
For those stuck in Excel will wither away as traders as analytics thanks to its limitations.
Thanks Bryan

If you are an old school trader using a tool like Excel for analysis, you may be forced to use Python.
“Python already replaced Excel,” said Matthew Hampson, deputy chief digital officer at Nomura, speaking at last Friday’s Quant Conference in London. “You can already walk across the trading floor and see people writing Python code…it will become much more common in the next three to four years.”…
As we reported previously, Hampson runs Nomura’s new and growing e-trading strategy team, which was formed in May 2019. The team is tasked with increasing Nomura’s fixed income trading revenues by 15% through the integration of artificial intelligence into the bank’s systematic market making platform…
Hampson’s comments come amid suggestions that Excel is in danger of dying out as sheets can be imported into Python where the computation is much quicker….
“I can run an Excel model with a several hundred interlocking formulas and a data table that has 50,000 rows and 100 columns and it takes 15 min to update,” said one contributor to Wall Street Oasis last month. “Or, I can run a Python based model with thousands of interlocking corelation points and an underlying data structure that has 10,000,000 rows and 1,000 data attributes. Not to mention I can write scripts to infer missing data points. All of this can be done in about a second.”…
Future traders will have hybrid skills covering finance, quantitative knowledge and the ability to automate processes and extract data, said Hampson. Today’s top traders already have, “much more universal skillsets – they understand data, they understand finance, they understand how to code. That brings an agility that you didn’t see until about five years ago.”…
PMorgan is arming members of Hans Buehler’s 180-strong ‘Analytics, Automation & Optimization’ team with trading licenses as the quants break into trading. ..

This is why you need start looking at the Quant ELITE membership. 3 year term is still available but it will not last !

Notes
Notes on Ernie Chan lomg term vs short term coding
cointegration diverges between pairs over long term while co-relation comove in same direction
cointegration is long term and about price
correlation is short term and about returns
basic mean reversion strategy bollinger bands -> enter into position only when price deviates by more than a std deviation and exit when price reverts
consider commission fees to stay profitable

These are the only forex pairs that gives any data for the Python/REST API call of InstrumentsOrderBook. The good is these have liquidity/volume and low spread. My new Python script will give breakdown of total short vs longs at any time called.

So is Microfot trying to make it easier for developers to install Python on Windows 10. Are they just trying to stay relevant for both cloud and Machine learning as Google releases Tensor Flow 2 with Colab? I explain all this in an opinion video so I would be interested to hear what you have to say. Here is the Microsoft article below

I did not know this when I signed up. They have a Python API for their killer CryptoWatch pweb platform. They have some big benefits over Binance:
This is an unofficial Python wrapper for the Cryptowatch public Data API. Cryptowatch is a cryptocurrency charting and trading platform owned by Kraken.

A sad note here. None of the cryptowatch for Python on GitHub are useful. They also appear to be abandonded. with no live trading capabilities.
I even looked for Kraken repos on Github but resulted in nothing useful.
