Is there a way to get into an investment bank without becoming an analyst grunt? Many of the ivy league graduates complain about making pretty reports with charts for bank clients. These charts and reports are never ready apparently but their creators who work 6 days per week at 12+ hours per day. Sounds fun. You basically have no quality of life nor balance. Are there other ways to get into the very high paying positions in these banks? I have my own solution with lucrative crypto currency pairs so see below. Apparently there is if you read this Quora article with other links.

Note one answer is from the head of talent acquisition of Point72 which is the private family office from of the largest hedge fund manager known as Steven Cohen. Remember the insider trading fiasco of SAC as few years ago?

My solution

As of today, I will be drawing a solid segregation line between trading and the technology behind it. After years of experience sussing out the psyche of different people, it seems to be there are those that want to get into algo trading without building anything themselves. This is the DIY (Do It Yourself) approach I strongly believe in. There is another set of folks with the technical chops to accomplish it, but they realize how hard it is to get a fully algorithmic trading system with automated execution/orders to their broker. The farthest they get are to generating trading signals. They don’t factor in automating risk, portfolio optimization or construction, nor automating their orders. It is a huge ordeal to piece all of this together.

As a result, I have two separate membership services I created over the last few months, The first is the Analytics service.

Notes from yesterday:

Python Course Pricing Re-adjusted

I just doubled the price of the Python 3 Infrastructure Algo Trading course, This includes fast moving crypto currency. If you did take advantage of this, you will note that I managed to discover high 12% intraday  moves across 3 crypto currency pairs. This was in a severe down day with only 2 profitable crypto currency pairs out of 100+. There were others with 800+% but there for tiny coins coming off an ICO.  Always remember initial coin offering can be highly manipulated but I may focus on those down in the next few weeks. It reminds me of how Timothy Sykes does his penny stock teaching

If you are concerned about pricing, I just posted the more affordable but older Python 2 Infrastructure course without the Crypto currency.

I also have the ELITE which is more geared towards the technology of these systems. It is for more advanced programmers which is purposely not cheap! There are many free resources out there but good luck in looking for unique trading ideas from them. Ask yourself if they are real traders earning from what they show? It is most likely no.

As you know, the QuantLabs.net site has verified this by a third party:

Crypto Currency pair secrets with the reward

Not just that, I am finding some great discoveries 12% up moves intraday for certain crypto currency pairs? This is where the entire asset class is getting crushed. I have not even described yet the about the up 850% intraday move from tiny crypto coins. These are most likely part of ICOs (initial coin offerings). I am interested in focusing on these entire areas instead of being proud of 20% annual move of the S&P 500. There are many unknown areas to discover for huge pops intraday which I want to focus on. As a result, I am not interested in telling the world about it. This is where I will focus via my Quant ELITE service which is why it will not be cheap.

I also plan to do my usual webinars LIVE on Monday nights. I will be splitting up the event in two hours. The first hour will be public showing recent results of what I see. The second hour will only be available for my ELITE members where the replay gets archived. These videos will not be made publicly anywhere except behind the paywall fo the ELITE service. This starts very soon so keep your eyes peeled on my QuantLabsNet Facebook page for these.
