I spent a couple of years working as an options trader at an investment bank, then seven years as a portfolio manager / researcher in a large systematic HF. I now manage my own capital from home, and do a little writing. My main portfolio is trading about 40 futures on a fully automated basis, using mostly trend following signals.
Areas of (some) expertise:
- systematic and automated trading
- trend following (not high frequency)
- futures
- fixed income
- fundamental, global macro
- python
- linux
- Interactive brokers API
I wrote some books on trading.
