After a lot of thought, soul searching, research and plain reality, I have concluded that my time and energy is going to be focused exclusively on becoming a quant trader and on developing multiple quant systems.
Simply because I now believe in clear objective thinking, rather than wishful subjective thinking by having a robust time proven edge FIRST, and then a good psychology/discipline.
And for me this is through quant/automated systems.
However, my background isnt in programming, math, science, physics or anything as such, so I know theres a long path ahead of me.
Considering this is something new to me and that there is a lot of BS online, id like to humbly ask for some advice and recommendations with regards to information I must read and learn and if possible any good sources of information which I can gather the info from:
- Programming software to automate and test ideas.
- Research papers with regards to volatility and/or any 'important' data.
- 'Must know' keywords of commonly used technicalities by quants.
- Specific subjects required to become a quant.
- Suggested reading material with regards to quants/markets/programming.
Pretty much any and all info required to put me on the long and narrow road.
Those that know me know I dont look for hand holding. Just some direction...
My aim? To build multiple systems that complement each other under all market conditions.
I know what I want, I know that sooner or later I'll get what I want but im not sure which path (knowledge wise) I must follow.
If ive said anything silly (which i probably have ) please forgive my ignorance.
Im all for learning in a humble manner
All I ask is for the topic to keep on track.
