Nobody answered his question. He didn't ask how to be a goddam HR manager. He asked how to be a quant and I told him how, so there's no ego, other than the one I earned from a long time of work nobody except my people seem to have respected, and they've been paid well for it so far. My only complaint is the relationship Multicharts has had since last summer with Amp Futures. Automation is required to get the most out of my trades, and this is the only aspect to my trading that hasn't worked as well as I think it should have in the last year.
Work for 10 years and while working try to find out how to pick the bullish or bearish sectors ex: gold, oil since 2000, internet technologies in the 1990s. Then invest into the quality stocks and sit on them till the bull run is over. Making 20% a year would be beating 90% of the investors out there. Happy investing !!
I don't think that's a significant threshold, since I've donated that in a single day. Nevertheless, I don't get how that disqualifies my statement.
You`re asking these mopes? www.nuclearphynance.com And dont be a dumbass. Use the search ALOT before you post. Or be prepared to get blown out of the water...
Are you feeling you are actually lacking the skill sets to make the transition or is it that you are just not given the opportunity? When you say electronic trading desk you mean the equity DMA team? Because if that is the case and you show you are hungry to transition plus bring solid programming skills to the table then I do not see why you could not make the transition. I would not bother with course work and university degrees at this point. Strengthen your programming, analytical skills and bother traders at desks with questions and offer them in exchange to do projects for them. I would say that is your number one best bet. I would never reject someone who approaches me at my desk and offers to work on a project in exchange to learn something. In fact, if the project result was impressive it would be my first candidate should I have room to expand. Please do not listen to people who only have retail experience, nor listen just to my advice, but I am fairly certain that you will hear the same sort advice from most other professional traders. P.S.: When I say do not listen to them I do not mean do not listen to anyone without professional experience. But please stay away from those who suggest to use Multicharts and all other kinds of crap or suggest you to quit your job. Ridiculous advice.
you are the ONLY one in everything, including the biggest tool. Did you not also claim to be the true best trader at ET? The only one. You sound more like you are stuck in a for loop and can't get the heck out. Time to push the reset button...
you are not even qualified to open your mouth here, tool. Go back and run Multichart tests, cause that is YOUR weapon of choice, which defines you, your skill set and intellect. But please do not give your garbage advice to those who are serious and apparently worked hard enough to get the foot into the door and give the impression away they are not belonging to the 99% of total morons on this site.
