Which products typically require less computer science or programming knowledge? I am aware of the fact that trading is becoming increasingly electronic and most products will have quantitative/system/program trading specialist firms and traders, but I am curious which products are more macro and qualitative analysis driven?
To clarify, I'm interested in trading but I am not interested in computer science or programming, so I'm trying to determine if there are areas of trading that would be a better fit for me.
Let me save you some time. You can't make it as a trader any more without some quant background. You'd just be putting yourself too far behind the eight-ball to ever make any money.
You don't have to be able to write the next OS for Microsoft (actually, based on the abortion that is Vista, that probably wouldn't be too difficult), just familiarize yourself with algorithms and how to write them.
If you're really interested in trading, you'll do what's necessary to at least level the playing field.

Fair enough, I'll do that. I appreciate the honesty- thanks.
but some quant background still needed ...
