          target="_blank"
          >trading bootcamp</a
        >, which teaches the fundamentals of quantitative trading &mdash;
        markets, order books, auctions, risk and sizing, adverse selection,
        arbitrage, how quant trading firms make money &mdash; typically over the
        course of four days.

      <p>
        The philosophy of this bootcamp is that the best way to learn to trade
        is by trading. We use a fake economy and exchange, run through many
        sessions of trading games designed to teach progressively more complex
        concepts, and auction off prizes at the end using our internal currency.
      </p>

      <p>
        It's an immersive program and participants are expected to attend for
        the entirety of the bootcamp, since the content is dense and cumulative.
        We generally have 15-30 students.
      </p>

      <p>
        I teach trading bootcamp with 2-3 instructors (if you've taken the
        bootcamp and are interested in instructing, please reach out). As of
        October 2024, it has been run 10 times.
      </p>

        iterations below.
