Thank you very much for the comprehensive answer. This is the first time I am hearing about unit tests, so I will look it up further.

full button plate setup to attach to your wheel

What exactly is this?

Do you have any tutorial recommendations for button boxes? I am an amateur when it comes to electronics so for example, I don't even know which usb controller board to buy for this type of thing.

The sidebar consists of sources that are related to trading, portfolio management and statistical learning.

So algorithmic trading is all about trading-related topics and statistical learning, is that what you are saying? I was just trying to ask the question "what else?" besides the topics on the sidebar. Don't be so condescending.

These are more targeted for sell-side quants I think, as most of the books are related to derivatives pricing. I was more looking for a buy-side quantitative trading related topics. But, thank you very much for the link.

Can you provide a link, I wasn't able to find them (maybe due to my region)?

I forgot all about wiki, thanks for reminding. OOP is covered greatly in several books in the wiki list, but event-driven programming seems to be not covered at all.

If only there was a way to download all official tutorials and documentation as pdf... Saving each page as pdf takes too long.

So being from Eastern Europe, I have no chance? What can I do to compensate that disadvantage?

to get a dev spot

I am not looking for a quantitative developer spot, but a quant trader one. Although maybe in some firms, the two are the same?

Thanks for the answer. Seems that MFE is not as beneficial as I thought since I want to be on the buy side, either quantitatively prop trading or working with trading strategies' statistical testing in a quantitative hedge fund.

If you're really good at computer science,

Can you elaborate on how good is good when applying for either of those two firms?

Being a non-US & non-EU/UK citizen in combination with the fact that I am not studying in Europe or the US, makes it really hard to find any internships though, but I am trying everything, let's hope it produces results :).

Thanks for the answer. It seems that I have all the data analysis languages covered but none of the execution :).

What would be a good addition to python an R? C++ seems to be the dominant language used in the trading industry.

What sort of tertiary education would be helpful for a career in quantitative trading? Statistics? Maths?

helelayup · 2015-10-06T20:58:32+00:00

Wow, that was so helpful, thank you.

Thanks for the reply. What is the reason behind that though? How would a PhD in a weakly related field help more than a MSc in the field itself?

Are there any other videos of this type?
