This is an excellent explanation for applying Python to stock market data. As stated by the author, many terms are not explained in detail. I searched them in AI and gained an understanding.

Very clear explaining of the significant aspects when structuring a financial analysis, applicable in many forms of data if you don't want to make predictions only for the stock market.
