Totally agree, a big good heart as the king of the nerds.
I posted a detail list once many years ago of +100 universities in North America that have trading rooms including a list of Universities that compete in different types of international college competitons (UTC competitons) that also had a automated trading category.
Off the top of my head are the folowing considering you mentioned you didn't know that universities had trading rooms/finance labs:
Saint Joseph University @ https://sites.sju.edu/hsb-wstr/ (they use to have better photos of the inside of the trading room but you may be able to find them online in Google image search)
Penn State (smeal school of business) @ http://www.smeal.psu.edu/traderoom
Tulane University (they even have an energy blog) @ https://freeman.tulane.edu/energy-institute/trading
List of Universities in the college competitions @ https://www.universitytradingchallenge.com/universities/ (you can use that list to then put the school name in Google to research more carefully about their trading room for students).
For example, Drexel University is on the above list and if you then use Google to look up their trading room info...you'll find it @ https://www.lebow.drexel.edu/node/57283/all
Hofstra University is on that list and their trading room @ https://www.hofstra.edu/academics/colleges/zarb/tradrm/index.html
Penn State is on that list of universities @ https://www.smeal.psu.edu/traderoom
Closer look via Google images of Penn State trading room @ https://www.google.com/search?q=Pen...-4fiAhVxmK0KHcdvClkQ_AUIDigB&biw=1016&bih=722

The surprising thing I discover years ago in my research for a family member daughter trying to select the right graduate school...many of these graduate schools trading rooms/finance labs also are managing/trading a large portion of the University's endowment fund's...such as 10 - 50 million dollars of a multi-billion dollar endowment fund.
That's a lot of faith these schools put in their graduate students to manage/trade 10 - 50 million dollars worth. Another name for these trading rooms are called "Finance Lab".

I was more shocked to discover millions of dollars from those endowment funds were used by graduate students to manage/trade Bitcoins and some Bitcoins sites are slowly advertising such about the following schools...
University of Michigan, Harvard, Stanford, MIT and many others.
My point with the above, there's a ton of money out there in the markets by these schools in many different asset classes.
Another well known competiton for Universities that you can gather names of colleges that would have a trading room/finance lab is from the Rotman International Trading Competition @ https://ritc.rotman.utoronto.ca/results.asp?n=1
I'm not trying to send you back to college but the above info may be of interest by other ET members that are trying to decide on where to go for college and try to find a path into Wall Street, London or Asia financial hub or has a young teenager interested in the markets that has yet to decide upon what university to attend...I'm in the latter for my teenager...he's looking to go overseas to a university in the U.K. or France.

Not one link to a decent school. Drexel, rly?
Like your thought. Tesla just announced full autonomous robotaxi, a better way to save money, and even make some! We'll just need to wait it out in a year or two. It'll be fun!
I watched it live on Twitter, but here's a YouTube if anyone's interested. Actually was my first time watching it and it blew my mind for some reason. Probably because watched too many sci-fis. Anyways, here's your rocket boys:
Hey des,
I also mention the names of other schools too without posting direct links because their names should be obvious. In addition, theres links to the trading competition university list of participants...some famous names on that list.
I've never been to Drexel...its just a school I remember off the top of my head, its also one of many schools on that list along with remembering the link without needing to look it up on Google but I did need to use Google to find the images of the trading room. Thus, I wouldn't know how good of a school it is but it must be better than schools that has no trading room/finance lab.
More schools with trading rooms and competing in international trading competitions @
I know you have a kid that's interested in the markets like I do.

Doing good stuff and having fun, unlike most Billionaires that just try to make more for no reason at all.
Definitely king of the nerds LOL
Yup. Missionary with the ability to be mercenary.
I post real trades every week at http://optionsinvesting.co.uk/trade130-week-ending-03may/
fundamentals do not change rapidly...at least not most of the time....to trade high frequency with fundamentals does not make any sense to me at least
I'm actually not sure how this is relevant to the forum but ok. As you can see, mentioning this caused some people on the forum to debate your merits on the fact you're female alone.
HFT tends to rely on market microstructure. With fundamental analysis you're looking at taking months to years on an investment. Fundamental data rarely is an immediate shock to the market (except for say, earnings).
What are you planning on hedging?
