Best Qualifications

Hi There,

I have a lot of TECH BA Experience and I am part qualified ACCA. My work experience mainly involves global markets area/trading/ working on trading platforms (both investment banks and trading firms)

Recently I was looking for a higher career move, however I have found that I lack some technical qualifications.

What would be the best qualifications to pursue in order to either go into pure trading /quantitative analytics career or a higher function from where I am now?

Examples: MATLAB C++ Python PM qualification etc.

If you do work in those areas, I would be keen to see your thoughts.

Thanks
