Hi,
Aside from finding a job, one of my reasons for pursuing an MFE is to learn how to design automated trading systems, for my own personal enjoyment, as a hobby.
I enjoy books like Quantative Trading, by Ernie Chan; Stocks on the Move and Following the Trend, by Andreas Clenow, Systematic Trading, by Robert Carver.
I have heard that UW's CFRM 522 and 523 courses are pretty good, for learning to design medium-frequency trading systems. By medium-frequency, I mean systems that place trades only once per day, and can be run from one's home, or on a cheap server.
Can anyone comment on CMU, as far as the ability to use the automated trading courses for personal use. I have looked at the website, and viewed the courses. I also, did a keyword search on the CMU reviews. However, I wonder if these courses are applicable mainly to trading for large institutions, or whether they can be applied toward a hobby.
Thanks.
