Hello

I'm a young Java/J2EE ingineer / developper, who would like to work in
a financial/trading env.
To give me some chances to find a good job in IT/finance i'm trying to
learn finance by myself but i must admit i don't really know how to
start...


Just wanted to know if some of you have advices...
Has someone here also learnt by himself finance while he was a
developper? How?
And then how to valorize what you learn by yourself?

I suppose that you are interested in creating good software for trading (charts, technical analysis, trading etc).

First of all I would recommend a book: "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" by John J. Murphy. It is good starting point to learn technical analysis.

Then you can read more about technical analysis (indicator's calculation etc):
1. StockCharts.com - ChartSchool
2. Incredible Charts: Home Page
3. Investopedia.com - Your Source For Investing Education
4. Technical Analysis Guru

Hope this helps
