Hi. How did you get a career in Algo trading?
ReplyDeleteWhat self-taught skills required to break into this career?
Thanks
hi Anon,
ReplyDeleteObvious skills required for algo quant trading:
- Trading skills (profitable strategies, money management, psychology)
- Programming skills
- Basic to Advance Math (depends what strategies you use)
- Statistics
A good start will be reading Ernie Chan, Quantitative Trading Strategies. His blog is listedd in my blog roll. If you are willing to spend some $$ on training; Ernie offer some courses in this area.
The journey is progressive. Learn block by block and implement as you go. That is a better approach than learning all in one go.
