A Little Math Goes A Long Way On Wall Street
No, you don’t have to be a full-blown quant, but
knowing a little math–like statistics and probability theory–can really help
your trading out a lot. It can create a distinct edge in your trading, which is
really what you want in the first place. There are articles in
TM University that can help you out with this, and we cover this topic daily
in
TradersWire. If you really want to know how to use math to ramp up your trading, check out the
TradingMarkets Swing Trading College and
The Alvarez Factor.
