About Course

Building Winning Algorithmic Trading Systems by Kevin Davey

“Kevin Davey was awarded either first or second place three years in a row in the World Cup Championship of Futures Trading®. I’m typically not impressed with that sort of performance, but I think Kevin is an exception. Why? First, he published my feedback about winning the contest and what he learned from it. He then goes on to not only give a complete approach to algorithms, but also talks about how your psychology can still sabotage you. Finally, he spends a lot of time talking about objectives and position sizing. This is a very impressive book.” Also

“The winning trader is rare. The quantitative winning trader is even more rare. Kevin Davey’s book Building Winning Algorithmic Trading Systems is the rarest of all gems. It is a book that tells the quantitative trader how to build a quantitative trading system. It should be the textbook for all would-be quantitative hedge funds. I highly recommend this book to all traders, even those that do not use quantitative methods.” Also
