![]() ![]() I might be interested in creating a very simple simulation of a broad trading strategy I have in mind. I guess what I'm trying to say is that VBA is pretty easy to learn, but if you learn Python then VBA won't be that tough to figure out if/when you need to, but the other way around isn't necessarily true. At this point I feel pretty comfortable in VBA. Honestly I never really 'learned' VBA - I learned Python (and a couple of other basic languages, but Python is by far the most useful), and initially when I had to work on something in VBA, I struggled through but made it work just using Google and my experience with Python. ![]() ![]() Anyway, the industry is generally moving away from R towards Python.įor some roles you'll only use VBA, for some you'll only use Python, and for some you won't use either. C++ isn't really necessary unless you're working on pretty low latency strategies, and some people use R - you could argue R is easier to learn than Python, but I'm not really sure if that's true. It depends on the fund, role, and PM you work for, but in general for a trading role I would say VBA and Python is a good toolbox.
