How to construct financial time series. Learn to retrieve financial data and specify properties. Compute and compare simple, log and cumulative returns. Visualize stock trading data.

Course Overview
Financial value over time can be represented as time series objects in the Wolfram Language. This video class demonstrates how to import financial data as time series and how to inspect and specify its properties, such as temporal regularity, resampling method and window length. It explains how time series objects can be used as input to other built-in functions and also directly used for arithmetic calculations. Examples illustrate computing asset returns using log and ratios and visualizing stock trading data along with buy and sell signals.
Featured Products & Technologies: Wolfram Language (available in Mathematica and Wolfram|One)
