I'm a quant researcher for one of the asset managers. And Coding Jesus's content is really the most interesting and insightful available for free.

dude howwwww do i break in quant trading? i go to a non-target studying compsci specialising in AI. im graduating this summer, do u know if it's possible to get recruited say 6-12 months after graduation? i want to spend 6-12 months self studying heavy heavy math & quant strats, would that be a bad idea?

@@fadedsedated it really depends on what you want to break in. For quant research, I suggest you look into grad school. Most firms will only consider master + phd. For quant dev, it’s down to networking and passing interviews. For me, I got my master from a target school, so I’ve been having internships even before graduation. I worked on building hedging alpha using L2 order book data. Then graduate into portfolio optimization position. It’s not a straight line for me either

@@fadedsedated heavy math yes, programming yes, quant strat just the basic like markowitz optimization. No one expects you to come into an interview with a working strategy. Most things you can find online doesnt work in practice, that’s why you can find them lol

Great content! Waiting for more videos on the order book, amazing stuff 🔥
Thank you really much Jesus, that was a really helpful video. It would be awesome to be have more of this theoretical video types. Really appreciate your teachings ^^
Your back! You were gone for like two years man. Good to have you back, is this the second coming then? 😀

Gotta love that smug look in the thumbnail! All hail our savior!
Great explanation.
As a qd, do you think platforms like bookmap that visualize orderbook like a heatmap and have addons like iceberg detectors can give retail a robust edge or it's just glorified technical analysis?
Can you please make a video on the future about book-map? Thanks for the awesome content tho! Keep it up😊
Great stuff as always, on point! Would be amazing if you could do a video on how to measure latency, especially inside a trading server, from nic up to user space and software :)
Thank you for the video. Could you please recommend any books related to order types and different exchanges queuing algorithms? I’ve read some books about HFT but there isn’t much information about L3 analysis and exploitation
@Coding Jesus. New to the channel, very informative, thank you
Hey, thanks for the video! A question about prorata: if i come 8 hours before opening and willing to buy 5 units of the asset, and you come one second before opening and you’re willing to buy 10: if the seller has 7 units to sell, would you get the 7, or would you get 5 and 2 for me, or 6 and 1. Because at the point of selling the 6th unit, we would both still be willing to buy 5, since i came first, maybe i am granted the right to buy over you. Is that how prorata works? Thanks for your content

Gamestop would sell 7 / 10 = 70% of their allocation to me. so I buy 7 * 0.7 = 5, you get the remaining 2. I explained Prorata as Price-Size priority when it's really Price-Share priority. I'll clarify in a future video.
Which book is best to learn about these market microstructures and technology and exchanges. More technical books?

good question, speaking as an outsider I would also like to know.
The most important thing to learn about the order book is the reason its there... For quants to front run and scalp.
How about addressing spoof orders on the order book? How do you deal with that?
Thank you
Love the video, the only word i understood was Gamestop.
could you do ore vids on market making algos for market makers
I came here for technical analysis - and i got it - head and shoulders all the way through the end.
What's the utility of "code an orderbook," though? A real one would be implemented as a giant complex of interacting components, not just a clean set of classes. It's like saying, let's implement core accounting system for a bank and it's just some customer, account and entry classes.

how do traders read the lvl 2 and make trade decisions based on it?

I used to do it well 25 years ago. In low to medium volume stocks you can see where larger orders are, and by also glancing at time and sales you can see how stock is being bought or sold or how that large order block is supporting the stock (until it gets worked through). In high volume stocks the book is so big that it is usually just two stacks of giant numbers at various prices a penny apart and I'm not sure how people use lvl 2 for an edge there unless you can parse out which orders are real and which ones are fake (posted for a split second). So, basically, if some of the large posted orders are real (and not just posted and deleted to lure people in) then you can trade in front of those prices. In my experience, however, that game changed and there was a more sophisticated manipulation of the order book to "look" a certain way so I stopped looking at lvl 2. I am sure some people can still make sense of it as it is a skillset, but my edge with it evaporated. Hope that helps. As for programming with it...

@@Harchit23 Yes especially when there were larger visible orders. Obviously, sometimes they get filled and everyone recalibrates or panics quickly. I imagine nowadays there are many more ways of faking the look of the level 2 so don't trust it too much. Do you program?
