In this video, Quantopian community member Kyle McEntush walks through his algorithm creation process with Quantopian’s Dr. Thomas Wiecki. This video starts with a short interview about Kyle’s background in chemical engineering and continues with Kyle walking through an example algorithm he created on Quantopian.

As a Chemical Engineer himself, Kyle shows how others can use their engineering and science backgrounds to help them create challenge worthy factors. He also gives an explanation to the reasoning behind his decisions, allowing you to walk away with a better understanding of how financial algorithms work, and a starting point for creating your own.
