  5. What laptop do you have?

    The laptop that I have problems with is Sony F1190X/B - this year earlier release of F1390 - I wouldn't buy it.

  11. Algo trading

    I doubt that even a PhD student can properly learn all those subjects in 5 - 6 years. I also doubt that majority of algo traders posses a deep knowledge of those subjects. There is no program that teaches such a mix of subjects. A PhD student majoring in a quantitative field would have to take...
