I'm running a trading bootcamp at Lighthaven, from Wednesday evening Nov 6 through Sunday night Nov 10. It covers the fundamentals of quantitative trading—markets, order books, auctions, risk and sizing, adverse selection, arbitrage, and how quant trading firms make money. 

You can sign up here, and if you check "LessWrong" for "How did you hear about this bootcamp?" you get a $150 discount.

I talk about the bootcamp on Patrick McKenzie's podcast here, and answer some FAQs about it here. Testimonials from former students:

  • “Ruthlessly efficient learning, with feedback in real-time. Prepare for information density that'll rewire your brain.”
  • “glorious, relentless chaos.”
  • “When you’re learning all the ways you can be abused in markets, you want to have a teacher as fun, engaging, and smart as Ricki.”
  • “You can definitely make a religion out of this.”
