Robert has an impressive CV, over the years he has worked at many prestigious firms including:
- Fixed income exotics trader at a major investment bank
- Research manager at the Centre for Economic Policy Research
- Head of fundamental strategies and subsequently head of fixed income at one of the UK’s leading hedge funds. (Where he was responsible for strategies trading $5bn of client funds)
He now manages his own wealth as an independent trader using a fully automated trading system, deploying numerous trading strategies across multiple markets. So this trader is a serious player! In this conversation I asked Robert a variety of questions including:
- What was it like working at a hedge fund?
- How can retail compete with hedge funds?
- What does his trading system look like now?
- Mean reversion vs trending strategies
- When to pull the plug on an automated trading system
- Backtesting and curve fitting
- Converting your discretionary trading strategy into an algorithm
- & so much more.
This was a really in depth discussion with a knowledgeable and seasoned trader. Enjoy the episode!
