I'm also a bit confused about re-enrolment. I've already enrolled in 2 subjects for Semester 1 only but I haven't thought about my other subjects yet so can I just leave it as it is for now or is it a must that I enrol in 3 subjects per semester at least?

I'm going to sound like a keen bug rn, but does anyone have BCMB20002 and MIIM20001 lectures saved?

Thanks in advance!!

Commerce fam! Does anyone know enough about FNCE30010 Algorithmic Trading to help me make sense of the prereqs?

• Would it really be enough to have no commerce/finance/economics background (by satisfying Design of Algorithms and Probability/Probability For Statistics)?
• What prerequisite topics from Investments, Introductory Econometrics, and Quantitative Methods 2 (and their prerequisites) would be sufficient to making the course understandable to someone from a maths/IT background?

EDIT: Ah, I now see that Investments is a mandatory coreq, implying that it and a few of its prerequisite bus/fi subjects are important. So, how about QM2 vs. Probability and Stats subjects from the Maths Department?

EDIT 2: I think I've answered my own question, never mind me! It appears QM2 is a commerce version of second year probability subjects, with examples drawn from finance contexts. The pre/corequisite of Investments has its own prerequisites involving introductory finance topics (Finance 1 and Business Finance, or Principles of Finance and Corporate and Financial Decision Making). So that's the kind of background knowledge that would be required to keep up in Algorithmic Trading!

Now. If anyone has lectures/resources for any of these subjects, please get in touch via PM >:]

I'm pretty sure Music and Health didn't scale

awesome thanks
I just read the review for it and it scaled in 2014, but that was a while ago so maybe we can disregard that part now haha

On a related note, does anyone know any good level 3 arts subjects (preferably sem 2, but sem 1 is cool too)? Having trouble filling up my arts discipline slots lol.

Not too sure what you learn in science math as opposed to commerce math but if you've done: time series analysis/linear regression/hypothesis tests(1+ populations, ordinal or numerical data, anova/Kruskall-wallis tests/all the wilcoxon tests etc). & think in particular you'll need all the shit like doing things like confidence intervals for time series analyses, autoregressive models, autoregressive distributed lag models, finite distributed lag models Etc

The lack of finance knowledge would probably be a big issue. Algorithmic trading is for commerce kids wants to learn about computer stuff instead of computer kids wanting to learn about commerce stuff. So if you don't know the investments things i suspect it would be very difficult. I would find business finance lectures for the first topic of the subject ( which is basically pre-investments) and learn that and then beg the faculty to let you do investments or something. However if they think it's a hard subject which builds on background knowledge they might not let you do it without the pre-reqs leaving you the option of summer finance 1/principles of finance - sem 1 bus fi/cfdm - sem 2 investments. It's definitely stuff that requires background knowledge beyond just formulas. Especially in algorithmic trading understanding the capital asset pricing model and market efficiency at a deeper level is important .
But your wam is really high so I suspect they might give you an exception if you promise to self teach the pre req knowledge
