Panel discussion on algo trading in India with Symphony Fintech
Video description
FinBridge on 15th March 2015 invited panelist to discuss Algo Trading in India for Active traders. An interesting discussion to give insight on the current status and how one can adopt Algo Trading as a beginner.
Trading psychology and risk are somewhat intertwined. When you look at how humans trade with their intuition, they can be very very wrong. In fact, it can lead to health problems like heart attacks or strokes. Tsk tsk. Thanks to our automation for trading.
What I take away from this, is the discussion of random theory in the markets. I keep going on about this especially in the upcoming future/options algorithm course I am starting next week.
I just added a new video on my upcoming Global Macro FX strategy. This shows you how the US treasury ten year is a strong indicator of Fed rate change forecasting. As you can imagine, this will be very powerful for my many drivers that I will use to forecast direction between currency pairs. As you know, it is very hard for humans to be able to analyze markets like this on a consistent basis.
Details for the event TONITE from Dr Paul Cottrell online is listed below.

A query from a highly experienced trading educator
Hope is all well. I wanted to ask you if you have come across any chart based trading platform where you can autotrade based on trendlines or technical levels and assign certain rule based orders. Let me know. Thx.

13 Researching Traders Went
As I am rebuilding my foundation for retirement, I am focusing a lot of my portfolio effort into ETFs. Why?1. They are half the fees of mutual funds2. They will eventually exceed the entire hedge fund industry within two months3. Over 42% of chosen assets/strategies, ETFs are used for retirement4. Universal selection covers all aspects of t…
Truth about shoddy trading educators and certificatoion to nowhere. Discussion about your career path vs indie trading
Here is another crucial Facebook Messenger conversation I had with someone from overseas. They seem to be misguided by what they read. Most educators are shoddy no different than used car salesmen selling you overpriced trading strategies that will ‘change your life.’ They are selling a dream but only sizzle with no steak. Don’t fall for that crap. This is one other conversation I have to educate on how REALLY it is in terms of learning this automated trading/quant wanabee/ HFT nonsense. They are pretty well either con-artists or theives with a short term vision of collecting money with no long term value in what they do. Some even have the audacity to promise jobs in hedge funds that offer 2% annual rate of return. Honestly, theyse companies no longer exist and the jobs no longer exist. Deal with it, the competition is fierce for these jobs and it gets worst each year!
I’m looking for a certificate in quant finance / financial engineering
cqf is pricey
what is your level of schooling
?
B.Sc. electrical engineering
a cfa would go farther than anything uot there
CFA is not related to QUANT trading
well, are you looking for a job or be self employed?
looking for a job in quant trading
i have come to this
http://www.risklatte.com/cfeonline.php
do u have any idea about it ?
Risk Latte – Online Training Section
www.risklatte.com
i don;t think these sort of programs are useful for you
they might not be recognized by industry
same with cqf
you do need a phd or CFA to get anywhere career wise
aha
nothing else
if you are self employed, that is different story
ok , so you think that even CQF will not help me ?
it can help in learning but it is way to pricey in my mind
ok , what about the other option
http://www.risklatte.com/cfeonline.php
Risk Latte – Online Training Section
www.risklatte.com
it is only 450 $ ?
it is up to you, i know nothing of them
if you want to learn quantopian is decent
but that is more of a starting point
so ?
so what? i don’t understand
quant latte?
yes
there a now a million of these places that teach
there is a very good metric you can use to see how their visitors are doing
how is that please ?
watch this video i did

you out there
look for sites that allow quantcast measurement, if not run
over 35% of our visitors earn over $100k a we are the only ones who canmake that claim
sir : i will buy yours courses for sure
just a learning a tool
i’m just looking for some QUANT courses
for verification
i see
ok , do u think that CQF will help me to get a job ?
if they are bs or not
not sure
on the cqf guarantee for jobs, there are fewer of them
cause your courses are only for TRADING , not for QUANT in general
oh no we got algo courses and how to use matlab for quant trading
my elite also contains all my notes on khan academy math learning
what about other subjects in QUANT ?
databases? languages? charting?
you name it we got it
i am now moving into futures and options learning
also we do demos from industry every week

Quant Finance
Toronto, ON 1,455Members
Quant Finance group talking hedge fund, investment, quant analytics, and quant tech development. This includes MatLab, C++, C#/.NET, Java, Excel, VBA, Python, R, etc. I would …
sir : i’m asking you becuase i’m looking for the best degree / certificate online that will help me to get into quant jobs ?
you name it we got, a true end to end on stop shop for what you are looking for
i would offer certificates to but no one would care about it outside of a phd or cfa
anything else is pooed pooed upon no matter the these cruddy vendors tell you
ahaaa
so only phd / cfa will matter
i think so
i see
check the career sites
you better contribute online to, build brand
that is only way now
the competition is fierce
don’t get sucked into the hype
your choice is to be an indie trader doing all thisquant/hft/automated algo stuff
you know ernie chan?
yes
he started me on this path
he is a friend of mine
he even thanked me in his latest book for some tech choices, you really need to decide if you want to follow his path or get a career in a bank/hedge fund
as said, careers are very very fierce also, i would not be interested in 90 hour work weeks for $15/hr
that will be your reality
most only survive about 2 years in those sweat shops
ok , you said ( your choice is to be an indie trader doing all this quant/hft/automated algo stuff ) : yes it is my dream , how shall i learn that ?
well my site can help, we got a community of a lot of people and it is growing fast
some of my folks do really well
they key is to participate in the weekly meetups
i will be doing ‘trading clubs’ etc
the more they get to know you, they more you engage, the better you will do just for pure learning alone
the weekly meetups are key
you need to constantly show to have people get to know you
some people have gotten decent payng gigs b/c of the networking
this facebook group is proving to be another good source now as well
right
in summary, you need to put yourself out there
contribute as well
OK
i am here to help people but i don’t do homework for them
go get them tiger
I see
in summary , you think that CQF will not help me much for getting a job ? only CFA will help ?
from my opinion no, i know a few people who did it but are now indie traders with no career goals in a bank
that seems to be the trend
the reason why quantopian and quantstart are growing is b/c old cavemen traders are realizing automated trading is the only way they can stay in the game
python is now proving to be ok but when you want to get serious, you better be a damn good software engineer
i cann’t get your point
it all comes down to you, everyone wants to find the magic bullet
more screens or being a phd make them a better trader
look at all the brokers that got exposed by that recent SNB forex fiasco
2 went bankrupt and 1 got a lifeline
not because of their education that kept them in business
what ?
read my stuff, we are constantly about this but you shall get my point
ok : which programming language you advise me to learn ?
to be a quant trader ?
start with c#
it is easy
or python ?
sure but i struggle with python
most banks only use it for middlewhere
some analysis
java c++ in linux is what you need tfor the big buck jobs
what about matlab / R ?
definitely matlab
r is ok but ernie uses r as well as paul cottrell
sorry ernie primarily uses matlab
so you go figure?
huh : how u compare matlab to java ot c++ or c# ?
you don’t
matlab is where you generate your trading and then drop into a trading platform developed in c++ or java
that is what we will be doing soon
this is the best path for my future as compared to others that i looked at including r and python
