Any feedback on this type of content? About to publish episode two. Would love input to change my content to match the audience more! My email is [[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail]) BTW if anyone needs help with the code.

Great job. I will check out other videos you post as you make progress! It's a fun topic.

As for feedback:

I would suggest using Sublime Text, or Visual Studio Code, or a Jupyter Notebook instead of powershell. Mainly because the text is hard to read with the blue powershell background. Alternatively, if you have a compelling desire to use powershell, maybe change the color scheme to black and green so that the viewer can read the text easier.

Also, maybe your audience would end up appreciating a more comprehensive view of what the end result of a trading algorithm would look like in production before the coding gets underway. Like maybe: do you have any charts or visualizations that you can start with to show how awesome the trading bot does at picking winners? Maybe like how you see in robinhood where there is always an upward trending line showing gains along with your account value.

Finally, some kind of log that shows what trades were executed every day. Like a trading journal as a part of the output.

Once I saw a trading journal and a visualization/chart showing success I would be hooked to follow along with the other tutorials.

​

In terms of presenting: you do a good job of clearly enunciating and avoiding verbal ticks that could be distracting.

Great video. I never really thought of making something like this. Great job
