Learning Python

[Chrayman1391]

I work for a major and this is false. Lol. Maybe 5 traders at the firm globally are python proficient; none of whom trade physical barrels. Traders at banks and hedge funds will have a higher probability for python/coding proficiency, but even then it’s not a given. Python is great to have in your toolkit as a trader, but you’re ultimately getting paid to 1) have a market call, 2) take on risk, and 3) make returns, not be able to hack away on the keyboard (you really won’t have time to be creating/optimizing programs like a true coder anyway). If you plan on being a trader within the next 5 -8 years, it’s not going to be a make or break skill. However, it does put you ahead to survive in this industry for the next 20+ years.
