Hey Everybody,

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I am still in college, but I would like to pursue a career in trading. Does anyone have any suggestions on classes to take that would be beneficial towards trading? I am trying to learn as much as possible, but it's tough considering there isn't really a trading program where I go to school. I've been reading a lot on here the past few weeks, but I still don't know what some people are talking about. Any suggestions on the intro of all intro trading books?

Thanks

I am not the best person on here to give advice since I only traded a couple times in 2009. I am still learning to be a trader, but I want to help you out. I would recommend:

1. Programming classes. I don't know anyone who trades today without a computer and programming will allow you to test your own ideas without having to rely on others or the limitations of the popular software on the market. Probably two or three programming courses should get you up to speed.

2. Probability and Statistics courses, even better, datamining course such as this one:
Statistical Learning and Data Mining III

3. AI and Machine Learning

4. More math classes

Too late to become a Math or CS major???
