I'm still in college and looking to get into daytrading. What math skills should I be focused on developing? Any input would be appreciated.
statistics/econometrics probability theory/stochastic processes-particularly any course which focuses on monte carlo and boot strap simulation (which means understanding calculus 1-3 and ordinary and partial differential equations) I find game theory useful in general, and taking courses in finance/accounting can be helpful, even if just for the tax/money management side of trading. Then again, I'm not a daytrader...but these are the courses you'd take to work at a trading desk at a bank.
