Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place to post about this or not. I figure that there must be a couple guys on the board involved in quantitative finance.
I'm currently in grad school doing an MSc in geo/spatial statistics. It's pretty heavy on statistical math and programming. Right now, I'm about half way done my MSc and already I'm fairly good at programming in Matlab and Fortran.
When I'm finished this MSc, I want to go back to work as a geostatisician (I would be making resource models) for a couple years. Eventually, I would like to work at a bank in the investment banking arm doing research and analysis on the mining sector.
What I'm looking for is a good book or resource to start learning how to code in Matlab for financial purposes. I have all the expensive toolboxes on my student license and I think it would be a good time to start learning that skill in my free time.
I would like to get to the point where I can make a trading model that downloads information from a free source like Yahoo then fits the data with a model and makes buy/sell recommendations based on that. I think this is within my current programming ability in Matlab. I do; however, need some good resources.
There are so many books out there and I'm not sure which to buy.
