Lifelong Learning aka Making The Switch

Today, 11:08 am

So with the advent of large scale learning models and the general annoyance of Mr Altman and the rest of the lobbyists..... my life as a software engineer is on really shaky ground, especially at my age of 54 years. 

While I can never afford the CFQ out of my own pocket I've got more and more interested in the numbers, learning the math properly and the potential. So I treated myself....

...and I'm not talking about the cup of tea. 

Being here, I've now become obsessed with fill times on the Nasdaq e-minis, build bots to parallel run strategies on various crypto coins (interesting I'd pragmatically build out some work on limit order flows in crypto so seeing Prof. Carol Alexander's talk on Limit Order Book Flows and Price Formation in Crypto Markets from a more academic perspective was reassuring I was actually on the right lines). 

I appreciate everyone's notes, support and nature on here, makes me feeling like the black sheep of the forum not so difficult. But I look back on the last 18 months and have surprised myself on how much I actually have learnt.

It's CQF not CFQ. But apart from that, you are doing very well...
