I need career advice

[tolkoton]

Every thought about joing Wilmott and become a REAL WILMOTT QUANT?

What's REAL WILMOTT QUANT and how it's different from other quant positions?

 

[Zwaen]

That's cool but how about my question?

Whats the SMART description of your dream job?

 

[Sekiyo]

My advice is ... Do not ask Career advice to Degenerate Gamblers.
Maybe ask the WallStreetOasis smart ass guys.

Best regards,
Sekiyo

@tolkton - If you're ever going to find yourself in the States - give me a few weeks notice and I'll try to get you an interview. DM me a few weeks prior.

Is it possible to get an interview online, so I find myself in the States quicker?

For the last couple of years, I've been working for a startup and developing trading algorithms for crypto. I worked with technical indicators and developed my own research system and created some successful algorithms. Yet this startup is not paying me much and I want to find a better job. I am interested in Algo trading, but my experience is very unconventional. I have a typical data science stack: Python, TensorFlow, Numpy, etc. How should I approach my job search? I've had some interviews, but unsuccessful. Do I need to learn C++ or make some certifications?
Thank you!

NQ used to be my instrument of choice several years ago. But since that time, it has become too...unruly for me, for lack of a better term. It certainly has directionality, but the idea of entering it presently gives me the same feeling as putting my hand in a buzz saw. And so, I'm curious to know the typical size of your initial protective stop, either hard or soft. Not that I plan on trading it again any time soon, but I'd appreciate the context.

I've used a buzz saw safely , close to my hand but ;
neVer stuck my hand in one or trade NQ or ES lately + dont want to.
I do qqq + related + do target shooting safely;
but nota .44 magnum, too much noise also.
I can wear earmuffs with .44 magnum LOL but again no thanks.
Discretion does have to require brokerage proof;
but a good rule if you make $1500 , you are risking more[or possible, accidently more] than that per session.
i dont have a problem with any doing ES or NQ or ultra noisy 44 magnum pistol LOL
I dont believe in feelings the same as you; but really sounds like your guts are more wise + sensible than your curiosity. Ultra small stop;
or turtle size on that,no thanksNO one should shoot anything without safety rules.

I trade it with a 50 point stop but that can get hit fairly easily.

So $1,000 per contract? That's a fairly wide stop. What's your time horizon?

I'm looking for 125 point profit minimum on volatile days. Of all the indexes I've trades, the NQ is most lucrative if you the trade goes for you, I've averaged at least a R5 on big days.
