Today, I concluded a three-week summer school program at LSE focused on Options, Futures, and Derivatives. While the course was more academic and less practical than I initially anticipated, it pushed me out of my comfort zone. Despite some struggles, towards the end I started to appreciate the mathematics behind these instruments. Our class was relatively small compared to other LSE courses but was diverse in terms of knowledge. Half of the class had finance or business backgrounds, some students had math or physics backgrounds, and the rest were skilled professionals working at either central banks or investment banks. Personally, I don't find London particularly special as a city. However, what makes it remarkable, in my opinion, is the concentration of financial knowledge available both academically and professionally. During these three weeks, I had numerous opportunities to network, and I am grateful for all the tips and advices I received. I am confident I can leverage this knowledge to secure a job in London in the near future. Please excuse the last-minute picture below (I forgot to take one with the LSE sign).

If you’re an aspiring quant or trader… I cannot stress enough the importance of having real trading experience. Either having experience in real financial markets or in building systems on retail platforms, anyone can get started on their own. The number of quants and finance students and grads I see that haven’t actually placed a trade on their own amazes me. Don’t get stuck in the 80s mindset, where trading was done on paper and over the phone. So many institutions haven’t updated their curriculum to reflect the changing times. Catch up or get left behind. Lmk in the comments what your first trade was and what platform you used! #quanttrading #trading #institutionaltraders #hedgefunds

Blair Hull is an American entrepreneur and probably one of the pioneers of High Frequency Trading. This guy founded Hull Trading Company in 1985 and served as the firm's Chairman and chief executive officer before selling it to Goldman Sachs in 1999 for $531 million. Here a few facts you probably didn’t know about this amazing story: 1.      Trained in mathematics and computer science, Hull first applied his skills and training to advantage play in blackjack, and then went on to develop an empirical model independent of Black–Scholes to use on the financial markets. Hull eventually became one of the most advanced trading operations in the world, a quant mecca that transformed the options world. 2.      The company, which leveraged technological innovations and quantitative models, was one of the world's premier market-making firms, trading on 28 exchanges in nine countries. 3.      The company was a global leader in the application of computer technology to listed derivatives trading. Hull developed a proprietary and large scale reliable distributed system architecture, providing automatic real-time pricing, risk management, market making and interconnection with automated options, futures and stock exchanges as they became available.
