robertvolta trader's profile

My career consists of 25 years of Systems Engineering and Enterprise Architecture. The systemic and mathematical diligence required in this environment has been invaluable in establishing a mindset for trading, more specifically, algorithmic trading.

To trade successfully, as in successfully delivering engineering projects, requires sound methodology. I feel most comfortable deploying algorithms for trading markets once they have been tested over a long time sample using a massive amount of data, typically spanning the past 15 years. This process is a lengthy one but necessary. Once this provides a positive expectancy, we move onto a simulated real-time environment. After several months of real-time observation and we are comfortable that back testing and real-time results are relatively matched, we then go live in a funded environment.
