Let me recommend you an udacity course instead. This is hands down the best course I've ever taken in my life:

AI for Trading https://www.udacity.com/course/ai-for-trading--nd880

Includes an introduction to finance/markets, and goes into strategies, multi-factor models, and deep learning. Great projects too!

I haven’t taken it, but what made it so great. Do you/can you apply what you’ve learnt?

Here is a list of all Coursera courses sorted by ratings: https://www.classcentral.com/provider/coursera?sort=rating-u... You can also filter by subjects i.e Computer Science, Data Science. Humanities, Mathematics, etc. Disclaimer: I am the founder.

Oh, thanks so much for that! This link showed me I have interest for things I did not even know existed on the platform. I mean, Mountains 101, Poetry? Awesome!

The cryptography course taught at Stanford I have found to be excellent. it really helped me gain an understanding of what I MAC's were, cbc encryption, common problems with encryption schemes, etc. after taking the course I was able to find a bug in our company's software that they didn't know about or that they didn't know was a bug.

I agree--I very strongly recommend this course. I binged Dan Boneh's lectures on a late Friday night like I was watching Netflix. I'm serious.
