What do people think of the High-frequency stat arb space nowadays? Seems like there is increasing competition in the area and it is becoming more and more difficult to generate $$. Any thoughts on whether it's worth entering the area?

Anyone have any opinions about High Frequency FX prop strategies? I come from an equity stat arb background and am considering moving into HF FX... Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

A friend of mine interviewed there. Supposedly it's run by a bunch of X Goldman Sachs Asset Management guys. They seem to be pretty top notch and manage a large amount of $ for the number of employees (about 60 I believe).

<t>Hey folks,I'm looking for a S&T summer associate position this summer and want to learn more about the different products the large investment banks trade.

Thanks HedgeQuant.I'm looking for beginner's level, with the goal of attaining a solid understanding of statistics before beginning a FE master's program. The most important aspect of the book I am looking for is readability since I will be learning on my own.Thanks,pettenor.

<t>I'm looking for a book to learn statistics from. It needs to start at the very beginning but would ideally end up pretty deep into the subject matter. It would also be great if it delved a bit into probability and if it at least touched upon stochastic processes. Any recommendations would be very...

I ultimately decided to enroll in MIT Sloan's MBA program this fall. Sloan has an FE 'track' within the MBA program. Students can also take l...
