So, python + backtrader backtesting course it is.

Here are my thoughts of the ways I could do this.

1st way:

- 12 weeks of course.
- Pre-recorded videos sent each monday with assignments
- On Sunday, 3-4 hour qna session.
- Slack/whatsapp/discord group for clarifying doubts

2nd way:

- 12 weeks of course
- Pre recorded videos sent each day between monday to friday with assignment submission for each day
- A compound assignment covering all topics on saturday
- QNA session on sundays
- Slack/WA/Discord group for clarifying doubts

3rd way:

- 12 weeks of course
- Live classes saturdays/sundays
- QNA session at the end of each class for an hour or two
- Assignments for the entire week
- Slack/WA/Discord group for clarifying doubts

I am more in alignment with the 2nd option because of my understanding of how habits are formed.

Learning every day and doing assignment every day (wouldn't take more than an hour or two max), writing code every day builds habit and helps build muscle memory too.

Learning Coding is exactly like learning a language. You need to consistently repeatedly do it every day, do the tasks every day, read code, write code, make mistakes, fix them, and that's how you learn to do better.

So, now let me know which way you'd be up for?

Which forum would you be comfortable with for discussions, ongoing support, community building of fellow traders who take the course?

1) Whatsapp (can't add beyond 200)
2) Slack channel (Only 10k messages history to search)
3) Discord - like slack, but unlimited & free (my fav).

The expected outcomes & course structure is a rough draft in progress, will update & finalise before launch.
