No this is a job for HFT. Basically, they are looking for a Mathmatician/Computer Scientist who wants to focus on the stock markets.

HFT is only one way to profit in the stock markets.

Do u believe the number of hedge funds are declining since the early 2000s and the number of HFTs are rising?

I am sorry EMG, but your comments about education demonstrate an Extremely Moronic Generalization.

Will you forgive my acronymic sentence? :p :p

Last February and March I sat in a room full of highly educated people. Not one of us could figure out how to trade profitably.

My education distracted me. I was too busy trying to use my educated smarts to beat the system before I even understood the system and more importantly understood how my own unique personality effects my behavior when I trade.

I'm still guilty of this. Tried to outsmart the system again and lost a bunch of money. Went back to the basics. I am making money again.
