Quant trading's most lucrative programming language (you never heard of it)

In today's video I interview Jeremy Lucid. Jeremy programs in one of the most niche and lucrative programming languages in the world of quantitative trading. While most have never heard of it, all large banks and cutting-edge financial institutions are demanding ever larger amounts of developers proficient in this language (despite their continued shortage). The full uncut version is available for my patrons (link below).

I was looking into Q n kdb back in 2018 when I completed fin trading certificates. We used python and the boilerplate setup was too cumbersome. So it makes sense. I will be la7nching a channel for it soon

Apache Cassandra and Kafka can do time series and have bigger Dev networks. For ultra low latency why not C++ over kdb+ ? I can see factors like time to market and built in domain specific features would give kdb an edge. I can argue He chose kdb because he close to kc systems. I can’t see how much more simpler to run a calculateVWAP could be on q vs. c++. Reporting and integration is a plus, ok. You basically have a stack like c++, Kafka, redis, influxDB, zeromq, etc, etc. built into kdb+. That’s a plus haha Honestly I would have to take it for a spin. Great video, glad to see coding-J is back !

everything is finance is done cause thats the way its done and investment in tech hurts bottom line. covid displayed that heavily but even in hft where tech = alpha, theyll still use shit like kdb even tho it doesnt do anything special. the high salary is just supply/demand for existing software to maintain

@gameacc6079 2 ай бұрын

Theres no kdb in tier 1 or even tier 2 hfts. Kdb is for finance. Coding jesus probably works at a bank or a small tier 3+ hft

@akaalun 2 ай бұрын

Haven’t heard of kdb before not sure if it’s open source. But if it is not - that could be the reason. If it’s supplied by a vendor then the vendor could be sued or be responsible if something goes wrong or if there’s a vulnerability. Financial orgs are usually quite strict regarding the allowed software. Similarly no industrial stats is done with R they use SAS which is vendor supplied and supported. Regardless of R might have a bigger community and cooler features.

Math., Programming, and more math. Depending on where you are in your career considering going back to school. Take linear algebra, calculus, diffy Q. Know or learn 1 programming language really really well . Be ready to learn c++/python if not yet. Personal being interviewed wasn’t a quant, he was a SWE.
