From Chasing Trading Dreams to Getting Paid to Learn

The Harsh Reality of Trading

 

At 18, I had one goal: make money online.

Like many, I got pulled into trading.
Every video promised the ‘secret formula’.
Every course felt like the missing piece. None of it worked.
I lost money. A LOT of money.
Finally, I asked myself the question no one talks about:
 
If trading is so profitable, why don’t top universities teach it as a degree?
The answer changed everything.

Why You’ll Never
Find the Secrets Online​

In trading, information is the edge.
The more people know about a strategy, the less valuable it becomes.
 
So ask yourself: if someone had a truly profitable trading system…
  • Why would they share it on YouTube?
  • Why would they package it into a cheap online course?
They wouldn’t.
Real knowledge doesn’t live on the internet.
It lives inside hedge funds, banks, and trading firms—with professionals managing billions.

The Only Real Path Into Quant Finance

So how do you actually learn?
You get inside those firms.
 
You sit in the room.
You learn shoulder to shoulder with professionals who live and breathe markets.
And the entry ticket? University.

The Data Doesn’t Lie

I reviewed over 4,500 quant finance job listings in the U.S.
Do you know how many didn’t require a degree?
Just 0.4%.
That’s reality.
The firms with real edge hire from top programs, then train you further — on the job.
Meaning: once you’re in, you’re not just working…
You’re getting paid to learn.

  The Two Potential Paths:  ​​

PATH ONE
  • Sit alone in your room.
  • Burn money on day-trading “systems.”
  • Hope something finally sticks.

PATH TWO
  • Build a career in quant finance.
  • Work with the smartest minds in the industry.
  • Get paid to learn the business from the inside.

One path is lonely, slow, and expensive.
The other is structured, supported, and paid.

My Realisation

I stopped chasing shortcuts.
I stopped believing in secret formulas.
 
Instead, I built a real career in quantitative finance.
 
And that’s why I created QuantPy.
 
Because if you’re serious about trading, here’s the truth:
  • You won’t find the edge in an online course.
  • You’ll find it inside the firms that run the markets.
 
And the best way to get there?
Go to university. Land the job. Get paid to learn.
