Yearly theoretical minimum in finance and trading?

There is a desire to get comfortable in the modern world of finance: we are swinging income . I would like to operate both at a manual level (basics - types of instruments, their profitability, rules of the game, how the financial world works, yesterday and today, types of trading terminals, a typical day of an amateur trader, related basics and mathematics, etc.), and automatic (trading robots, strategy optimization techniques and everything around it).
Where to begin? Well-known folklore - theoretical minimums in programming (such as sharpc.livejournal.com/67583.html), in quantum physics, data structures. We are looking for the same theoretical minimum in finance. The seeker is a senior developer-mathematician-algorithmist with experience. I want to understand the foundation deep enough, but also get there quickly enough with practice. Not all books and blogs are equally useful, I want to find those very best-of-breed resources and go from conditional zero to confident middling within a few months of unhurried immersion.
Who has already gone or is going through this path - what would you recommend? Thank you!

Until you have an extra (or not so) couple of millions and, most importantly, the necessary acquaintances, you should forget about it. There is enough information on the web, just google for the keywords forex and cuisine. Why? Because 99.9% of all online brokers working with deposits with less than six zeros are kitchens.
However, you can earn. One has only to understand - it will be a roulette, serious materials are unlikely to help. It is worth understanding people what is in these kitchens. The very minimum that is worth knowing can be read on the websites of the same brokers. You can trust them, but you should not follow them. For if the broker advises to play for the fall of the ruble - 90% will play for a fall and then no stuffing will help - they will all lose all their deposits.
So I can only advise this - take the minimum leverage - so there will be less chance of losing your entire deposit, forget about any subscriptions and any bots - they are inadequate in the kitchens. Well, trade in small, very small amounts. With a certain amount of luck, it might even work. Well, you should choose a trusted broker - cases of non-payment, especially during an unstable market, are very frequent.
And don't forget - any kitchen is a casino. I have not seen another, and it is hardly possible. It is better to put on a deposit in the bank - so you will do good to the economy. Last but not least, a mutual fund. There is a chance to both earn and lose everything, although most likely there will be only a small plus compared to the bank, but more hemorrhoids. And good luck, you'll need it.

If you remind me, I'll tell you what and how later, closer to the weekend. I must say right away - forget about forex and all sorts of binary options. The stock market is regulated by law, and the rest, basically - only by the islands.

Nothing needs to be studied. Financial markets are not predictable. It's easier to program a cat: korrespondent.net/business/rynki/1476929-britanski...
PS A robot can make money on market imperfections. For example, at option arbitrage in the field of "option antinodes"... At the long-term competition of robotic traders, only such robots are guaranteed to skim the foam. Everything else is either luck or robotic drives to a prop trader (human). But it is difficult to calculate "optional antinodes". And we need specific liquidity ratios. And then arbitration simply will not work.

On the process of learning to trade, you should read this article . The post mixes finance, algorithmic trading. These are very different things. If you are a programmer (i.e. you love it), then you need to delve into algorithmic trading, HFT trading, robotics, strategy testing. The theoretical minimum for finance in trading will help you a little. Only if you do not engage in fundamental analysis, investments. But, for example, day trading and investments are generally different universes.
