About Course

Michael Duane Archer has been a commodity futures and FOREX participant for over 40 years. He has acted as a private trader, registered CTA and CPO, branch manager (Heinold of Hawaii) and SEC investment advisor. Archer was one of the first to do serious technical analysis research using a computer. And is recognized as an expert in the fields of artificial intelligence and complexity models applied to trading.

As a CTA in the 1980s using his proprietary Jonathan’s Wave expert system, he managed USD 20 million in the commodity futures arena and compiled a 48% annual return with exceptionally low risk parameters and high Sharpe ratio, as documented in Managed Account Reports. This was the first successful application of AI to trading. It also spawned the term ‘algorithmic trading.’
