I apologize if I sound igornant but my question is: how many people here who have a financial engineering degree makes real trading algorithms that makes consisent profits? The reason I ask this question is because obviously anyone who obtained a financial engineering degree is very smart, but since there are so many people who are able to get such a degree how many are actually sucessful at creating profitable trading algorithms. I am not yet a student in a financial engineering program (I hope to be) and so I might not have the best idea of what people with a financial engineering degree does, but I am curious how practical is the knowledge they obained from such rigorous studying/learning. There are people who program much more rudimentary trading algorithms using technical analysis and such, I was wondering if the ability obtained from a financial engineering program would help such people develop better trading systems.
