Supervised Learning Fundamentals for Market Analysis
A structured introduction to supervised learning concepts and their real-world application in stock market analysis. You'll learn how regression and classification algorithms work, how to evaluate model performance, and why overfitting happens. The course covers training and validation datasets, feature engineering with financial data, and the practical limitations of predictive models. No advanced math required—just a willingness to understand the principles that power market forecasting tools.

Toronto Stock Market Data Analysis Workshop
A hands-on workshop where you work directly with real Toronto stock exchange data. Using Python and supervised learning techniques, you'll extract TSX datasets, clean financial information, and build your first prediction model. This isn't theory—you'll run actual code, analyze real market movements, and see where models succeed and fail. The workshop runs over four sessions, 90 minutes each, with practical exercises you can replicate on your own.

Model Evaluation and Forecasting Accuracy
Learn to measure whether your model actually works—and when it doesn't. This focused session explores accuracy, precision, recall, and how these metrics change when you're trying to predict stock movements. You'll understand why a model that looks good on paper might fail in real trading, and how to spot overfitting before it costs you. We cover confusion matrices, ROC curves, and practical strategies for avoiding the common pitfalls that derail beginner forecasters.
