    But what if the code was just the same as the data. The code could process other code as if it were just data. What would THAT language be like?

    Ha ha. No they (the people who make real deals/trades/decisions) are just focused on their bonus. Having said that they also care a bit about their bonus. And of course their bonus is important too. Have I missed anything?

    Try to find out about the different roles. Quants, traders, infrastructure, back office and front office etc. I think traders per se will be less common as automation takes over, and it's a team effort keeping the machine purring. And
