is trading essentially just math?

For day trading, I don’t think you need to be good at maths


Quant traders are obviously gifted mathematicians, though

Yeah nigga. Smart MFs like me who are quant traders especially at places like Jane Street and HRT make upwards of 7 figs. I just love the math more than the trading and that is a lot coming from someone who was into the market at the ripe age of 10.

what math do you focus on primarily? Do you think math is a reliable tool for calculating markets?

I like it and yes it is reliable but keep in mind no computer can predict people. The biggest firm in the world is Citadel and after that the most profitable firm is also a quant firm. If you are looking to get into it. Good luck. Everybody is a genius. My 135 iq is nothing. 1600 SAT is like a bare minimum. For the math I focus on primarily is Calculus like the stuff you would see in AP Physics C. The market and engineering have a huge over lap.

yeah math is fs a big part of it but you also need to research where the company is going, and all in all its mainly a prediction based on the past

the math is there tho if youre looking at quarterly reports and calculating averages
