As I said,for many people,programming is not the be all, end all.People have different needs,skill sets and constraints.And every person processes information differently.I think many higher level programmers take alot for granted,especially when it comes to trading..
Do you really think P.Tudor Jones,Dan Zanger,Steve Cohen,Louis Bacon,Louis Hanover,the late John Mulhern and countless others have any clue to programming??
Some people study the markets..some people study programming..some do both...floor traders may do neither if they are talented mechanical traders.
For those who have neither the aptitude nor desire to program,there are certainly enough tools/progammers out there to make up for ones deficiencies....Do you really think a novice programmer who spends $3,000 to learn to program is going to come up with something better than Blox??
I think not
