This guy is a PhD from Cambridge and wrote a 3 part series how to teach yourself math for doing Quant trading https://www.quantstart.com/articles/How-to-Learn-Advanced-Mathematics-Without-Heading-to-University-Part-1

Btw you never, ever want to waste money day trading or buying individual stocks. Imagine a hundred thousands machines all doing high-freq trading, TRADING ON UNKNOWN INFORMATION in terms of market release (because they're so fast), with the ability to react instantly to any situation because they're filled with machine learning AI algorithms designed by experienced quants and traders over decades.

All you can hope for is to put your money in a Vanguard index fund, but the bitcoin/cryptocurrency world is wide open to wallstreet type manipulation for low risk options

Consider the following OP

You are a 4chan autist who wants to learn to trade

80 of all volume of trading is done by large banks, hedge funds, and professional firms. When you buy a stock, you are doing so because it will go up. When you sell it, you are doing so because you believe it will go down. Somebody has to buy from you or sell that stock to you, therefore for every move you make, sombody is betting ON YOUR FAILURE.

We've established that 80% of market trading is professional. Therefore, 4/5 trades you make will be against somebody whose job it is to succeed on the stock market. Whose judgement do you trust more? Yours, or a giant institution with super computers at their disposal?

Its not a meme to say here the only winning move is not to play. Quite literally, the most mathematically logical move is not to trade, or at least to always trade the exact opposite of what you believe will happen.

Not only that but it's totally rigged
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/three-british-banks-in-12bn-settlement-over-currency-rigging-lawsuit-a6706221.html

Those giant banks quite literally had a chat room where they bragged to each other how they were manipulating the currency exchange market in their favor. The $12B settlement is peanuts compared to how much money they made doing this, there's no way they magically stopped esp since nobody went to jail.

>implying the "professionals" did anything but bullshit their way to the top

>>8788144
Have you traded before?

>>8788144
Or like >>8788122 said, buy an index fund so the big institutions with supercomputers are working for you.
