Wall Street Quants - A History
I have been a trader for over twenty years, and from the start of my hedge fund career working with Victor Niederhoffer I have taken a quantitative approach to researching and executing trading strategies. A quant trader is a trader that builds statistical models to test trading strategies rather than relying on intuition and experience. Today we will look at the history of Quantitative Trading from 4000 years ago up until the present day. We will discuss the contributions of people like Ed Thorp, Victor Niederhoffer, Mike Adam, David Harding, Martin Lueck, David Shaw and James Simons.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceJames Simons Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkbdZb0UPac&t=269sSell In May Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWa1vsaHSLs&t=54sBooks Mentioned In Video:My Life As A Quant - Emanuel Derman https://amzn.to/3vGW0HTEducation of A Speculator - Victor Niederhoffer https://amzn.to/3b3GtdhA Man for All Markets - Edward Thorp https://amzn.to/3xOqlq0Visit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle - YouTube Support the show
