Hello Chaitanya,

I am not an expert on "high frequency trading" despite this blog post, but will try and answer you as well as I can answer you. I know several folks who work in the HFT space and, I am sorry to say for your sake, that they are all mathematicians and also very innovative when it comes to their understanding of computing. I think it would be difficult for you to enter the HFT space without these skills.

I know you are reading CFA's Enterprising Investor from your recent comments on the blog. Coming soon is a post I have written about how to get started in the investment business. Your careful assessment of your own interests and aptitudes is essential for your success. When these are in alignment with a work opportunity then success is easier. That you dislike mathematics and computing is very valuable knowledge and helpful for you in discovering what style of investing would most resonate with your consciousness.

Best wishes for success!

Jason
