Actually, I am a grad student, so I am free all day everyday except for my supervisor's weekly group meetings. I would like to write software for intraday trading algorithms, but I am not sure why I won't have to build an automated trading system.

I'm guessing, if the trading is automated, I could spend my day doing my day job and spend the night doing research on new trading strategies.

Thanks for the information. Would you know of Canadian buy-side and/or sell-side firms which accept applications in algorithmic trading?

How much capital is needed for someone who is new to algorithmic trading (but has the expertise to develop his own trading infrastructure) to begin trading? Is 20,000 dollars a far too small amount to begin trading?

I suppose this means that my chances of breaking into algorithmic trading is virtually zero.

The following two programs are going to be held in NYC: 1. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/iit-stuart-princeton-quant-trading-conference-2017-chicago-tickets-35856968157 2. https://www.arpm.co/bootcamp/ Are they worth attending? The second one costs 1500 dollars, hence asking.

Does this mean it's going to be difficult to find work in algo trading in either buy-side or sell-side in NYC if I do a Masters in Canada? To elaborate, I am neither a Canadian nor a US citizen.

Btw, how I do put my foot in the door? I am going to teach myself algorithmic trading by reading textbooks and doing some projects, and I'm planning to attend conferences and make connections on linkedin, but is that enough to get me a job?

Why should someone working in systematic trading be irrelevant in 5 years?

I am doing a Masters in theoretical physics from a top 3 university in Canada. I have recently become interested in algo trading, but I see that many of the roles in New York require a PhD. Is it enough to form connections and do many algo trading projects during my Masters in order to land a job?
