Ask HN: Teach Myself Algorithmic Trading?

1 romesmoke 5 8/25/2025, 2:36:34 PM

This summer I got my PhD in computer engineering. I have saved enough money to survive the next 6 months unemployed. I want to invest that time in serious preparation to become an algorithmic trader. If I manage to make consistent money, I'll stick. Else I'll apply to hedge funds/prop shops.

Current reading list arranged by topic below. Any further suggestions/advice? Thanks!

Culture: The Man Who Beat the Market, A Man for All Markets, Market Wizards, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

Finance basics: CFA Prerequisites, Trading & Exchanges (Larry Harris), Wilmott, Hull

Mathematics: Chris Bishop's books (ML/DL/probability), E. T. Jayne's book, David Mackay's Information theory book, Shreve's Stochastic Calculus books

Algo trading: Robert Carver, Ernest Chan

Thanks! Have these actively helped you? There's too much noise around this business...

After reading enough to get started, I realized I wasn't comfortable to invest this way. Too volatile for me, I have a nervous disposition.

Can you program? If you aren't already proficient, learn hardware description languages, like Verilog and VHDL.

romesmoke · 2h ago

I'm comfortable with Rust. Why the HW focus? I've heard about FPGAs being used for HFT, but I'm not going for sub-ms frequencies--except if it's unavoidable.
