could you please elaborate your post?

I would like to know if PW still believes it.

"Master's Thesis topics in quantitative finance?" why not HFT?

is this a 1st edition???

what about break & continue?

From the trunk of memories. This thread is interesting

I wonder if Craig is still looking for someone?

What about a section dedicated to HFT - High Frequency Trading

Someone advised me ... "Unfortunately, it is not active. And the only guy replying frequently (I guess he is moderator) is quite tough"

yes, you are right BTW worth to read AN post, thanks !

Wall Street’s embrace could break Bitcoin

nothing

Is quantitative finance as difficult as medicine? no, it isn't! it is much more difficult !!!

Most of them are relatively easy. Let me suggest you to learn Red Black Tree and all its operations. The implementation in C/C++ is another story

What is the difference between Ultra High Frequency Trading and HFT ?

This course looks quite interesting. All topics are so useful

when you master C++ you do not want to go back to C, because C++ makes your life easier, then it is hard to say C is not "easier" than C++

make it public please ;)

switch(exp){ case i_th: // code ; break; } is usually used when several branches are required, (more than 2). My C code uses switch statement for +10 case i_th: // code; break; how to code switch() C-instruction in the most simmilar way in python ?

Thanks for your reply. what about do{ //... }while(); ? it differs from while(){}

and the python code is ... ?

so please help me with this: I need the equivalent structure in python of these C structures: do{ // my code }while(exp?); I want to translate some C code to python, also I need the equivalent python code for this switch(?){ case i: //code ; break; .... } try not to google, no...

I am still waiting for Baruch online program, hopefully soon

this is interesting ! I will have to code -copy paste- and see by myself.

no, it is not. But it requires programming in C/C++

currently it is only halfway, hopefully I will

I am taking this at COURSERA: Text Mining and Analytics this is a VERY challenging course, in terms of programming. You don't need much maths, this course will really proof your programming skills, at least it has been for me

I would be glad to help you with the C/C++ version of your code

could you please explain why ? :) -sample-

I have been coding in C/C++ for +25 years. I am pretty sure that I would fail those interview questions linked previously. what would it prove?

I recommend Coursera, but it is not for a beginner, you need in advance some background, also MS Visual Studio has some courses.

can you be more precise ? pls why? your arguments. I was interested in CQF.

IMHO Pointers are not so easy. When you think you know it all, I bet you are half the way. The key point is that pointers are extremely useful, you can not avoid learning how they work and when to use them. Pointers make C/C++ sophisticated and elegant compared with other computer languates.

besides all the previous posts, if you want to be part of the HFT, there is no option, it must be C/C++
