There is much mystique and lore around professional trading and how organizations like hedge funds and prob traders operate. Some misunderstandings and myths can lead to dangerous trading approaches and excess risk taking. This practical presentation, by Andreas Clenow, Chief Investment Officer at ACIES Asset Management, will outline the key differences in approach and methods used by the professional community, and retail traders can benefit from understanding the other side.
The presentation doesn't cover concepts common on the professional side but often neglected on the retail side. We look at how to approach trading model design, how to define risk, how to scale and deploy risk, what type of trading strategies and reasonable and what kind of results are realistic. The presentation aims to be practical and of direct use for traders dealing in stocks, futures, currencies and other markets. Concrete examples will be used to demonstrate ideas and principles.
