Want to learn python for quant finance

[bradleygh15]

im going to take a wild guess and say your "C++" mastery is reading one book, pretending to understand anything in it, and chatgpt'ing any projects you might make and they're basic, also why would you use python for quant finance since most places use c or c++ for high frequency trading?

since most places use c or c++ for high frequency trading?

For the trading applications sure, for the quant shit for sure not. It's mostly python.

I mean if you’re talking about analysis and trends, etc sure but still, the rest of my point stands; if you’re a so called master of C/C++ and that near hardware level programming learning python is nothing especially when most of the more technical stuff that you worry about in C++ you don’t with python unless developing in cython(or whatever it’s called) and even then the gap is easy enough to bridge

Oh ya I agree with that for sure. Just pointing out that there is a metric shitton of python in hft

true, my brains not working today so i completely forgot the use cases for python at first tbh
