I can see this channel blowing up soon! Keep up the good work :) I would also love to see a video on you explaining the pathway for someone to become a quant. I think there’s a lot of people who would love to get into this field but just aren’t sure where to start due to the very secretive nature of the industry.
I have zero knowledge of stocks, Wall Street, or finances. But for some reason, this is supremely interesting. It's like a vice-esque look into a unique, modern pocket of life that is not exactly mainstream.
Really great video! I love the calm style how you explain it and also really interesting insights! I'm currently learning statistics and also Java and Python. I was wondering, which language do you usually code in?
Could you make a vid about your own background and how you got the job? Also do you have any friends working in software for these quant firms that can also share how they broke into the industry?
I love your content!! Lots of people are interested in quantitative analysis but don’t know where to start, and you’re helping every one of us. Have you considered becoming a paid coach/tutor for people who want to get into the field? That’s something I’m looking for. Cheers.
@DIAMOND_HANDS what the hell are you saying to become a quant you dont need to know how to make money in the markets , it does help, but comparing becoming a quant to getting in the nba is such a dumb analogy. quants recruits want competent graduates highly dedicated in the field of mathematics and yes knowing to code does help. Its a career path like another other and geeting a job will be as tough as getting a job in other fields. keep diamond handing ur doge, dont bring ur uneducated perspective of the finance industry in here where people really want to get a REAL education and make a career from it,
I've been trading stocks a while now before I started trading crypto coins. Even though bitcoin is volatile, its price movement is influenced by the same conditions as tradFi(Supply and Demand), With this you can time mrkt pivot signals with the right tools, "rinse and repeat". Recent capitulations are perfect for a rally. Considering all this, you need to have a go to strategy when trading, because when you buybitcoin, you're buying days you won't have to work. Prior to meeting Callum Lucas, I've suffered a series of trading losses. His AlgoSignal strategies have been extremely profitable for my crypto trading as I've watched my portfolio grow by six figures under his guidance.
Impatience has rekted many; at this time the markets are highly volatile and will inevitably rise and fall in value. Let's simply be patient and trade while we're at it., Lucas is someone who sets asset allocation that fits my tolerance and risk capacity.
There is this podcast I was listening to and it said something venturing within your tolerance and risk capacity, see you mention it again got to me. It's the best way to start till you're grounded to take thing on your own.
I'm new to crypto and I must say the entire correction and recent capitulations took me by surprise leading to a -75% loss of portfolio value. Was hoping I might get a breakeven earlier but took some losses more. Will see how this works out... How do I get through to Lucas?
awesome channel! glad someone finally made a channel for quants in buyside. I'm an aspiring quant, getting my masters in computational finance, do you have any tips for recruiting & interviewing? Do you find job security and stress a major concern? Especially as you stay longer in the industry?
The Quant industry is over-saturated, Am I wrong? Profit from trading can only have so many winners and losers each year. Also physicians in the US have a bit more stable income. Nowadays, 300-600k a year.
This is awesome content. I would love to hear you talk about the relation between market makers and quants. Ive been messing around with some algo backtesting as a hobby as well. Would also like to hear about algo performance on a short vs long term scale? One algo I made recently would of had a +81% return for the past month trading USDCAD on a back test but when I ran it for the year backtest, -65% return. Finally would like to hear about the machine learning aspect as well. Thanks for the content. Liked and subscribed on this video alone.
Just found out your channel and your videos are extremely informative and well-explained. I wonder why you haven't upload anything in so many months. Hope you're okay, man!
For someone who is not from a well-known college, how does one break into this world of quant-trading as a fresher? What kind of accomplishments and projects do the deal? Assume a Computer Science background while answering these questions.
Quick question -- are the salaries you listed for quant traders or quant researchers? Generally what is the difference in pay between quant traders and quant researchers (and developers)? Thanks :) Loved the video
Wow I am so lucky to have found your channel. I am a sophomore at Florida State University Majoring in Finance but I want to be able to also have doors open in the computer science and quant firms as they interest me more. What majors would best prepare me for quant? I am thinking right now of including an applied mathematics major so it would be a dual major in applied math and finance. What are your thoughts?
I’d recommend going for an applied math or stats major plus a CS minor. You can also minor in finance or econ but the CS minor would help more in my personal opinion.
Hi, thanks for the info, any thoughts or tips for career progression advice starting from undergrad? Best types of majors to obtain, how much education to receive, what sorts of internships to look out for while obtaining your degrees(in between undergrad to graduate degrees, during graduate school, during undergrad, etc.)? Also maybe some advice on the different conventional and unconventional routes to becoming a quant, as well as the difficulty of each route would be helpful. thanks
Just found this video and this was super informative. I am currently an engineering major and I aspire to become a quant one day. Please make a video on what is the most popular and/or most useful career path to becoming a quant.
Hey! Awesome video!! Keep making them, please. I am finishing my undergrad in Physics (with some study in Econophysics) and would like to know if you have any advice of what should I do to become a quant researcher. Like what should I study to be able to do this job. And again, thanks, bro, awesome content.
Quants interviews are notoriously hard (all iq tests and puzzles instead of anything finance related). They usually recruited from the best of the top universities in the us. The current pipeline is the quant companies will sponsor college math competitions and interview the top performers. I know people in my school that lives and breathes for the Putnam competition. Your best bet is to join math club in your school
Please post a following up video to those additional topics and questions you mentioned at the end! Really really helpful. Would love to be a Quant one day
Two questions brother, 1. What major and minor should I be taking in college to get into the field as a developer? 2. How hard is it to launch your own quant firm?
Do I need a PhD, or is a Masters enough? I’m currently in my final year of my BSc doing Stats and Finance. Next year I’m doing a masters in Data Science, so I want to know if I actually need a PhD on top of that. Coding wise, I’m mostly proficient in R but I’m looking to pick up python soon.
Second this, Do I need to have any relevant internship experience to be a quant? Does prestige of the school you go to matters for the masters degree university I apply for?
@@curiousintrovert1016 yes prestige matters, yes internships matter because why would they hire you, with no internships when there are hundreds of others with the same or better grads from better schools with internships.
I have a great mathematics ans statistic background, im graduating physics this yaer, but i'm not good at programming. I relly like what you said about the work a quant does. How hard is the coding part of your job? Again, i wont have troubles with the math. And what are some advices you could give for some one who doesnt code that well?
Hi! Thanks so much for uploading the great content that you do! I find it very helpful! I’m currently an undergrad studying at the University of Texas at Austin majoring in Economics. I am considering either double majoring in Finance and Econ, or just majoring in Econ and either minoring in Risk Management, Finance, or getting a certificate in Applied Statistical Modeling. I am not particularly interested in studying CS, but I am interested in pursuing quant roles in finance. Do you think that my current plans would be good enough for me to try and pursue quant roles after undergrad (and if so, which minor do you think is the best, or should I double major with Finance), or is there something else I should do instead in your opinion? Also, do you think that UT Austin is a good school for someone who wants to be a quant, or should I look to transfer to a “better” school? (I saw your previous comments mention that MIT and UChicago are good schools for quants.) Thanks, and have a great day!
In general, if you can land a quant internship, your school doesn't really matter too much. You just need it to open doors to interviews. Honestly, finance and econ programs can be a hit or miss because some tend to be quantitative than others. I don't think the double major would help you in this case for quant roles specifically (maybe it would for fundamental roles, that's outside of my domain). Quant firms see to like candidates who pursue very technical, math-heavy majors like math, stats or operations research. These majors tend to be more difficult so many recruiters appreciate that as well -- just checkout any job listings you're interested in to see what types of majors they prefer.
I see. Thank you so much for the response! From what I have been looking at, it seems like math, CS, and physics are the most popular majors among quant positions. I don’t think I’ll be very prepared for quant roles with my Econ background haha, but I still enjoy watching your videos nonetheless.
Really Amazing content! I'm majoring in computer science and thinking of double majoring in computational math. Do you think it'd help me in landing a job as a quant? Also if you could suggest some topics/books that will help me understand quant, that'd be great.
Would you mind sharing some of the tech stacks (programming languages/ frameworks) that is typically required by the different kinds "quant" that you have mentioned in the video. :)
Python is extremely popular across firms due to its strong numpy-centric data libraries. C++ is common in job interviews and listings. Jane Street is famous for its prioritization of OCaml.
Thank you for the awesome content!!! I'm an eecs major having only done software engineering internships so far, but I became interested in quant (developer) & this is really helpful :) I was wondering which courses you'd recommend I take as an undergrad to become a quant. Also, are there any projects that quants like to see on our resumes-or what else do you recommend I try to prepare for quant interviews etc.?
What’s the most important math and computing skills for being a quant? Can you break it down into what’s needed for getting in and what’s needed for day to day work?
Varies firm to firm, planning on a more in depth video in the future. For more generalist or entry-level roles, the fundamentals of statistics and probability are most of what you need. More senior or specialized positions often require more.
u should post a video gon throu online courses(MOOCs) that would help us learn the basics of quant trading maybe some programing courses and what ever its necesary
hey, just found you, love the content. just curious to know, what degrees do you hold and what’s the common career path to becoming a quant trader? thanks heaps, keep up the good work
I have CS bachelors degree. Traditionally it’s been undergrad -> quantitative PhD -> quant roles. Lately, lots of people get hired out of masters or undergrad. There’s also some inflow from folks already working in the data science space.
Awesome channel! Do you have any sense on the "difficulty" of return generation based on scale of aum? I like to think it's many times easier to beat the market by 20+% when aum is nowhere near 8 figures.
Q: MFE programs advertise that their starting salaries range from $100-$130K base+bonus. Are starting salaries still in the $300K range, or have they come down post-pandemic?
Hey I’m duel majoring in finance and mathematics(w/honors), along with a minor in economics. But my programming skills are lacking, how could I improve this skill set to transfer into the job market. And, what programming languages do you recommend I focus on?
Good video. Could you introduce more about your work? for example, quant developer writes those codes, and "pass" it to traders to execute? any suggestions about preparing for such jobs?
I'm about to turn 17. I have 0 coding experience but I'd like to think I work harder than the average person soooo. What advice could you give on becoming a quant. (schools, internships, books, ?)
Thank you for the video! Do you know of any companies that would be ok to hire a remote quantitative researcher? Most the company I know still require that the quants are on-site.
I want to apply for a master degree on computational finance or FE . Can you please advice me on how to choose the right one to become quant trader? And also it would be great if you talk on the specific topics in statistic ,probability and math that as a quant trader need to work
