I'am a software professional working in this feild for the past 2.5 years.I'am planning to quit and get into freelance share trading.
Which course would help me understand this feild better. IF MBA which specialisation ??..is there any other course(other than MBA) which can help me gain more knowledge in this feild.Pls help!!
Please suggest institutes that offer such course in California

Hi,

Share trading can mean different things to different people. A day trader often doesn't really have any formal training, starting off as a hobbyist and graduating to high stakes over time. Others could be technicals based traders focussing on charting or quant strategies and still others could be doing fundamentals based trading, and each of these could be either on the buy or sell sides.

Start by deciding what is it that you would like to be. It is not because there are specific programs for specific jobs but because specific employers look for specific qualifications and experience. Sell side entities are likely to ask for an MBA with buy side entities typically relying on home-grown talent. Some hedge funds may look for specific quant based trading skills and experience and no hard qualifications.

Unfortunately I can't advise on institutes in California but what you may want to do is to is identify your goals and then look for specific programs. Look at the background of people you want to emmulate and that should help you identify what you need for your best chances of success.

Hope this helps.
