PROGRAMME OVERVIEW The programme covers theoretical concepts of the cryptocurrency markets and developing programming skills to implement fully automated financial models. You will cover the core technical tools and strategies from a coding perspective and how to form trading systems. During the training, the practical elements include strategy development, trade plan and back test. To complete the programme a strategy assignment is set out where each candidate must show the skills they have developed with the project. The unique topic covered in this programme is onchain analytics. Cryptocurrency is the first asset class where investor activity can be extracted from data sets through each crypto-asset’s public ledger, which captures every on-chain action in history. Since blockchains are a incorruptible financial dataset, we can pinpoint measures of economic activity and we can measure sentiment and investor behaviour. In this programme you will learn how to use on-chain analytics to develop a crypto focussed algorithmic trading career. New traders will train alongside other candidates as part of a cohort, learning and developing skills in a fastpaced environment. Junior traders will explore trading opportunities, analyse risk and reward, and develop trading strategies whilst attending live webinars and participating in team meetings. This will enable them to rapidly progress and gain trading responsibilities. We’re looking for fast learners and driven individuals to join the Global Trading Team. WWW.ALPHACHAIN.CO.UK
