Trader+coder here.

This article is missing something very important, the fact that coding doesn't mean you're going to trade better.

A coder doesn't know how to trade right off the bat, they'll only know how to code in a specific trading rubric (most trading algos aren't even good unless we're talking HFT) that has been told to them from someone that already knows how to trade successfully.

Anyone that's a real trader and has managed clients money will instantly be able to tell you that this is articles title is misleading.

a "real trader" manages his / her own money, not that of clients.
the street doesn't make that distinction
