You are actually deflecting. I asked a question which you didn't answer about researching math formulas as you've mentioned you code. What is a book? How many pages are in a book? The fact you read ET is no different to reading a book. Why do you visit and read ET threads? What other forums on the internet do you visit? The fact you are on the internet speaks of you reading. So it appears you are hypocritical, no surprise.
I rarely read 'books' these days, earlier in my life I did. These days I read news, internet is about 99% of it. If I want info, web sites, google, AI, my algos.
Tell the Chinese and Singaporeans (chinese) that reading books is dumb. When it comes to education, these guys are not dumb. Imagine telling schools and universities to throw away their books as they wont learn anything.
Hello themickey, I learned Math and Programming in college. I am only on ET forum. I have never paid for a book and I never read book. I only read books in college to make A on the Exam and get high paying salary job. ET made me a ES Futures Master Trader. CME is sent from Heaven!!!!!! CME is a true blessing from God!!!! Easy Money in my pocket and no-one can take from me, I make the money legally fair and square. No prison time and no working for free for taking money from the ES Futures Market.
Right, so you learnt math by reading and studying. You're on ET because of trading and besides entertainment maybe pick up an idea or two. As time goes on you may decide to expand your knowledge because trading is dynamic, the landscape and our desires always shifting, you may decide to do some research. I can't believe how you are trading and coding now will be the same even in one year's time. We think now we have the holygrail to trading but we probably thought that 12 months ago on a system now discarded. You'll be wanting new formulas and that requires reading to be able to apply them,
Hello themickey, I understand what you mean. But reading online and on the ET is free. ET has everything a trader needs to make money trading and investing. No book is needed.
I'm the opposite. I don't learn much on ET and do all my learning via Books and testing. Then again, most people here trade Ticks and one minute Charts
Tru dat, buying books is not required. Same with paid subscriptions to charting software, not required these days.
