Yo this quant stuff is too confusing. Yall are talking Einstein all the time. But not going to lie, learning about probabilities and laws of statistics changed my view on the whole industry (Social Media Trading). And my backtests have improved dramatically too. I am in my 4th year of trading already, 3rd year was profitable with 32% return and 6.1% Peak DD (not compounded) but the approach was just not really a fit for my character. I have deviated from that approach and now I am trading a combination of FA, SA and TA. I plan to study economics in germany and build a verified track record on the side with Darwinex. They are an institution where you pay 50 bucks a month and trade the way you trade and they have an algorithm that scores your trading and depending on the return, DD, trading frequency, style etc. They allocate you real investor money, they are FCA approved and everything. Do you guys think it can accelerate my path to landing a job at a trading desk? if you have any suggestions I am open for business. (I am a discretionary trader and trade mostly FX, metals, indicies and BTC).

If you have capacity to trade like that just attract capital, easier said than done but landing on an institutional desk you are talking about what sell side or buy side?
