I'm running a quant trading bootcamp at Lighthaven (in Berkeley) Nov 6-10. This is my first time trying the extended weekend model; it starts Wednesday night so if you're local you only have to take off Thursday and Friday. You can register here, or check out the LessWrong event here [? · GW].

The course covers the fundamentals of quant trading (markets, order books, auctions, risk and sizing, adverse selection, arbitrage, how quant trading firms make money). In terms of vibes, it's a cross between the Jane Street trading internship, Manifest, and summer-camp-style colorwar. 

Also, if you check "LessWrong" for "How did you hear about this bootcamp?" you get a $150 discount.
