With the rise of AI how important is it to have knowledge in coding these days to land a entry level position as a RT/DA trader? I have mostly used Claude to create sophisticated systematic backtests for the equity markets to test strategies trading options. However, I only have a limited beginner knowledge in python. If I can leverage AI then do I still need to be well versed in the python language?
If I can understand a model I am creating why not just use Claude to write the code rather than doing it yourself?
