Learn Algorithmic Trading
Algorithmic Trading Fundamentals
Learn algorithmic trading by doing. Create SMA and RSI indicators with Aurora, define trading conditions, build a first buy strategy, run portfolio backtests, and learn how paper deployment works.
Difficulty: BEGINNER
- Explain how indicators, conditions, strategies, and portfolio backtests fit together
- Create a 10-day SMA and an RSI indicator through Aurora chat
- Define SMA-to-price and RSI threshold conditions for SPY
- Create a paper portfolio and a first AMZN buy strategy

AI Agents from Scratch
A practical, ground-up introduction to AI agents. Understand the ReAct loop, tools, orchestration, memory, and evaluation, then build real agents using Aurora Trading Agent platform as your lab.
Difficulty: BEGINNER
- Explain the difference between a bare language model, a chatbot, and an AI agent
- Describe the ReAct loop (Thought → Action → Observation) and why it makes agents agentic
- Design tool-calling workflows and understand why tools, function calling, and MCP servers are all the same core concept
- Use autonomy controls (whitelists, approvals) to safely run agents in production
- Connect memory, scheduling, and subagents into a full autonomous workflow
- Build traces and evaluators (including LLM judges) to measure agent quality
