Trader+coder here.<p>This article is missing something very important, the fact that coding doesn&#x27;t mean you&#x27;re going to trade better.<p>A coder doesn&#x27;t know how to trade right off the bat, they&#x27;ll only know how to code in a specific trading rubric (most trading algos aren&#x27;t even good unless we&#x27;re talking HFT) that has been told to them from someone that already knows how to trade successfully.<p>Anyone that&#x27;s a real trader and has managed clients money will instantly be able to tell you that this is articles title is misleading.
