Good for beginner but would recommend to have a bit knowledge about trading as it will be easy to grasp, Also WEEK 3 will be very challenging as its just MATH

On the three it got i little bit complicated because it was a lack of information about a spetific topic (The CAPM) But the rest was really great. Thanks

Week 1 and Week 2 are good foundations.

What one earth is Week 3?? It is an absolute nightmare, I had to refer some CFA material to get the hang of things, but I still could not manage it. I somehow managed to clear Week 3 after reaching out to people in my circle who knew these concepts.

Week 4 is good again and the concepts are clearly stated and are relatable. But the sort of details it delves into is not really required I feel, but still it is quite good considering when someone is trading in huge volumes.

I would have given them 2.5 stars if I had the option. Taking a away 1.5 stars for Week 3 and 1 star for thinly explaining some concepts in Week 1 and Week 2.
