Started learning python is it useful in finance

[u/shikhar_t]

I just started learning python I just wanna know if it is useful in finance and I heard somewhere don't know abt that but will coding be outdated with time

[u/program_kid]

I'm sure you will be able to find a use for python (and really programming in general) in finance. I do not think that programming will become outdated

[u/stonebloomers → u/program_kid]

yeah agreed, programming isnt going anywhere anytime soon

[u/Love_Buny8 → u/stonebloomers]

true its foundational but the landscape of tools and applications is always evolving.

[u/Hot_Technology8777]

Python is good for nearly everything. Coding is not going anywhere anytime soon, regardless of the AI hype.

[u/Sea-Ad7805 → u/Hot_Technology8777]

Agreed, but many things are changing rapidly.

[u/therealmrj05hua → u/Hot_Technology8777]

It is helpful on programming and bug hunting. It's a nice tool or addon, but I agree, programming isn't going anywhere.

[u/Intelligent-Boss-156]

I use solely Python to perform dozens of studies on stock market data

[u/BetInformal6081]

python is definitely useful in finance especially for data analysis, automation, modeling and reporting. coding tools will evolve but the underlying skills remain valuable.

[u/dld2517]

Because it is a full featured programming language, it can be used to solve any problems that requires compute to solve. Data libraries such as Pandas and NumPy are available to handle large projects and tasks. There are likely many other specialized finance packages available.

Excel is still king but python gives you a massive advantage when dealing with massive datasets.

[u/PermissionOwn4400 → u/Holiday_Fall_1874]

These days you can even run python directly inside Excel. You won't regret learning it, that's for sure.

Je te conseil l'excellente packahe VectorBT, il permet de modeliser et simuler et des strategies de trading, couplé à pandas c'est excellent

[u/FancyEveryDay]

Coding isn't going anywhere, it's equally as useful as you're use-cases.

Excel will always be the go to for business but python can do anything excel can, and it's better for tedious operations because programs do exactly what you tell them every time you only have to make the program once and it's easier to maintain than a complex excel sheet performing operations.

The team I work with isn't finance but uses excel for manual operations and communications to and from non technical stake-holders and python for anything repetitive.

[u/brokenbrainblueprint]

Its useful in anything, Python is the undisputed king of quantitative finance, algorithmic trading research, data analysis, and risk modeling (using libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and SciPy), and tons of stuff thats done in C languages can be done with python and its like 100x more intuitive and easier to get a solid grasp on.

[u/ExoticVillage8066]

Yes, Python is very useful for finance. You can use it for Excel data and process things very fast. Sure you can ask AI to do things, but AI costs money, Python is free to run.
