You will get instant access to pre-configured cloud desktops containing all of the software and data you need for the project.

This course's content is not intended to be investment advice and does not constitute an offer to perform any operations in the regulated or unregulated financial market.
Notes:
- You will be able to access the cloud desktop 5 times. However, you will be able to access instructions videos as many times as you want.

I was excited to to do this course but can't as it's now out of date - in the video, instructor shows the student how to download CSV file of data from Yahoo Finance website to use in creating the chart. Unfortunately, Yahoo have since updated their site and now the ability to download data is behind a paywall. Would advise the course is updated and perhaps a sample CSV file be available to download.
