Hey dude you are in the wrong forum. I have the Msc in computer science expertise in C# (certifiied MCPD Winforms .NET 3.5) and I already automated my strategy (IB API) but I will not bother sending my CV neither the overwhelming majority of this forum users because we are bad ass traders who trade for ourselves. We don't have the mindset of ass kissers to work for the others. Good luck anyway if you get any resume from ET.
Here is another interesting article what a successful traders in the house can do:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...odities-trader-bombell-starts-hedge-fund.html
Ex-JPM Trader Bombell Starts Hedge Fund
Trading is a Career Professional. To become a successful trader, one must have a proper degrees. Fail to get higher education results to
More than 90% of small traders lose. They just lose!

More than 90% of small traders lose. They just lose!
The degree or higher level of educational qualification can only be the admission ticket of iBank interviews. They are not the guarantee of getting the jobs.
Quote from emg:
The question is why are they failing?
The answer is, they DO NOT have a proper college degrees to become a trader. Trader is a CAREER PROFESSIONAL that requires college degrees. Math, Computer Science, and a minor degree of financial Math are the degrees to become a trader and begin working in the house.
...
More than 90% of small traders lose! They just lose!!
Actually the answer is that the winners take the money from the losers. If the 95% of all traders who are losers suddenly quit, where would the winners get their winnings from? Answer? Other winners, which would end up making those winners losers. And those losers quit too forcing the winners to take money from other winners converting them into losers also. Then there would be one guy with no one to buy from or sell to and the marke would be dead
It is a fact, Wall Street has to put massive effort into convincing upper middle class Joe to put his money at risk so that the winners will have someone to win it from. Wall Street will not stop advertising how easy it is to trade or win, and suckers will continue pouring their hard earned cash into the pockets of winners. It's a financial food chain. Without prey, preditors become canibals which creates prey of their own kind. But someone will always lose. And it takes many small fish to feed one big fish, so the losers will always be in the majority. A degree in finance will not change that.
Here is an interesting old article:
http://www.usatoday.com/money/perfi/columnist/krantz/2006-01-31-day-trading_x.htm
according to the article:
There are two main reasons why the vast majority of day traders will lose their shirts:
⢠Disadvantage to large institutions.
why would your brother, with his discount brokerage account, think he can even have a chance against the resources of these well-funded trading firms?

Quote from emg:
And don't forget, MIT BlackJack Team made a million beating the house. They win becausef they are:
Higher Educated
You really do seem quite confused. Yes, having a degree or MBA from a good school will help you gain junior level entry into an investment bank, which, as an institution, does have an edge. The degree in this case is a hoop you must jump through to get employed by the entity with an edge.
Possession of higher degrees in itself does NOT give you any edge in the markets - nor will it keep you solvent. The people who broke LTCM, Lehmans, RBS and lots of other fine institutions were some of the most highly educated people around.
