I am going through this right now actually. I am learning more math aggressively, pursuing a degree in Economics and since I am writing my own tools I am always refining my C++. So far I have 9 apps that make up my process and each do a different step in my process.
The Chan books are good. I'd recommend staying away from his latest book. There isn't much new content in my opinion.
E-Mail in profile if you get stuck.
Edit: I am also reading "Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (10th Edition)"
- matt_the_bass 9y agoHi. Do you have a strong reason to write your tools in c++ and not python?
- jason_slack 9y agoI have 20+ years with c++ so I just default to that for my projects.
- matt_the_bass 9y agoYou may wish to consider trying out python for this. In my experience it is likely a better match for this job. It includes simple libraries for: - Web hooks - Plotting - logging - text parsing - unit tests And it can be run as a simple script. I understand the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” mentality. However if you are finding any friction using C++ you might want to consider a different technology.
- jason_slack 9y agoThanks. I am always willing to try new things. For c++ I just write what I need if I can’t find an api I like.
