This quants’ approach to algorithmic trading—Michael Halls-Moore, QuantStart

EP 090: This quants’ approach to designing algo strategies—Michael Halls-Moore, of QuantStart For this episode I’m joined by Michael Halls-Moore, who runs QuantStart.com—a site well-known by many algorithmic traders. Prior to trading, Michael studied computational fluid dynamics and was the co-founder of a tech startup, before getting involved a small equity fund as a quant developer—where his key role was cleansing data. Now, independently, Michael trades his own short-term algorithmic strategies, consults to hedge funds on machine learning and quant infrastructure, and also has a keen interest in space exploration. We discussed a whole range of topics, including; the need for quality data, thinking about risk from a portfolio level, trading multiple automated strategies, the role of common sense in parameter optimization, learning to program, and more. - - - - - LINKS - - - - - · Show notes: https://chatwithtraders.com/ep-090-mi... · More interviews: https://chatwithtraders.com · Free resources: https://chatwithtraders.com/resources · Sponsored by Tradovate: https://tradovate.com/traders · Twitter:   / chatwithtraders   · Facebook:   / chatwithtraders   · Instagram:   / chatwithtraders_   · Soundcloud:   / chat-with-traders   · Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/chat-...
