<p>It goes beyond using spreadsheet modules in excel. But it doest go into the most advanced code either. You can search around online and find examples. You can run your code in something like matlab if coding in c. From the looks of it, it does not look very complicated. I could be wrong</p>
<p>You mentioned the importance programming coursework as well as quantitative classes and I was curious to know which math courses you recommend. I have spoken to several firms and many have told me that they like Engineering majors because of their mathematics background. What are your thoughts on this and which courses do you think overlap into the trading world? </p>
<p>Also, I keep hearing about buy side trading positions and sell side trading positions. Can you explain this to me please? Thank you!</p>
