Kicking myself for getting drawn into this... The entire point of my comments were to put things into perspective. The OP needs to realize who...
Dammit, this is the last time I post on this thread, but since I can't edit my post anymore I'll let everyone know that I realize I wrote "your"...
This number is meaningless as long as it doesn't take into account 401ks and other employer-sponsored savings programs. For example, I would...
I also like how "Big Brent" can practically insist that someone "earn his respect," but he can't spell or coordinate sentences worth a damn.
Wow, Brent, ease the fuck up, huh? First, trading is great. Obviously, I like it a lot since, well, I'm a trader. But let's not pretend you...
You should switch one of your majors to computer science and learn to program.
LOL! This gets better all the time.
Holy crap! This thread is still alive???? THE MARKET DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOUR INITIAL POSITION IS!!! IF YOU THINK IT'S RATIONAL TO SCALE IN THEN...
LEARN TO PROGRAM!
People on this board are in love with the notion of financial collapse.

Perhaps, but a person with good programming chops can compile market statistics and test hypothesis WAY faster than one without.
I'm by no means and expert, as I've only just begun to seriously study programming and software engineering in an academic setting, but for what...
I can't imagine that their being too much of a language-specific bias within an industry not directly related to software engineering. Hence,...
I agree with jim c. Some of the people on this thread think you're talking about a typical shop, not a real MM firm. It's just a question of...
Brian, although I hate risking another programming language "war," I'd really recommend learning Java or Python before you learn C++. They're...
You're an arrogant dipshit to refuse to interview a person because he has a designation that only a handful of people have the tenacity and...
You're going too far here. Again, though I recommend programming or financial engineering first, you're dead wrong if you think a CFA designation...
Churn4Fun, I have completed all three levels of the CFA program, and I'm getting the designation next month. I also work at a pretty successful...
Thanks, Mojo. I'll definitely follow that thread. I can't do any automated brokering yet, but that's definitely the sort of info I'm after for...
