" For the people who want a serious trading job here's my advice.
You need solid programming skills, preferrably in C, Python or VB and strong excel skills.
A passion for trading and programming skills will get u a job as a developer on the trading desk.
This will help open your mind to trading ideas as well as properly test your strategies............"

i use some of the best coders on the planet and they cannot trade, period.
coders are logical thinkers and trading cannot be slotted into that space.
back testing is another monster load of crap.
retail coders luv to backtest.
they spend their entire life dialing it in only to watch it crash and burn so they can do it all over again.
self flagellation with a side dish of mental masturbation.
that is why all logical thinking commercially avail. EA's blow up your account.
" grid trading " is another retail coffin nail.
" lets buy more as it goes to zero.........."
rimm, gm, first solar and a truck load of others go from nosebleed to zero as retail keeps buying the junk "cause its gotta be cheap and on sale...."
the entire game is rigged and there is a reason why it is going down.
strong hands are dumping it .
clue: the guys on the other side of your screen.
the entire game is patterns, support, resistance, divergence and a 3 count.
if you do not think like the big money you are doomed to fail even before you start.
90% of the fresh meat come into this game with next to zip in capital and will be pounded into the ground.
i luv to snack on newbs.
trading is still a solitary activity and only you can pull the trigger.
what about the other 10%.
we win , we just win....
cheers,
