8 Quantitative Trading Strategies (Backtests and Trading Rules) youtu.be/rlSkRMmycWo #Quantitative #tradingstrategies

Complex strategies don’t outperform simple ones. They just fail in harder-to-diagnose ways. Simplicity makes problems visible.

Your best trading edge may not be a setup, indicator, or platform. It may be the traders you meet. If you connect with smart, adaptable traders, that is worth a ton more than anything else. The people you surround yourself with will either pull your future closer - or quietly keep it out of reach. Hakan and I (Oddmund) have been blessed (and lucky) to meet, but also lucky to meet other good traders. Take my own experience: When i started trading prop in 2001 I'm pretty sure I would not have made it without the help of Steinar L. He was already successful and willing to help me. Steinar gave me a solid foundation for succeeding in pairs trading. In 2003, I went to Phoenix, Arizona, for three months, where Håkan was the office manager. At this time, I was a decent trader (in hindsight), but way too conservative and risk-averse. Håkan "forced" me to step up the size, and finally, I had some good months where I could put aside some money. However, my strategy (yes, I only had one) hit the wall early in 2005 when a regulation change made short sales more difficult. It was back to the drawing board. Just before that, I connected to Ole Richard, a fellow Norwegian. We exchanged some ideas, and by chance, luck, and systematic thinking, we found some huge inefficiencies in the opening cross on Nasdaq stocks (this was the infancy of the opening cross). For example, big stocks like Comcast (CMCSA) could open at 29.3 and just a second later trade at 29.6. This was an "easy" 30-cent profit. Such trades happened pretty often at that time. This was a very lucrative strategy for a few years (now too crowded). 2008, for example, was a fantastic year for opening orders, both Nasdaq and NYSE. Despite markets collapsing, I made a lot of money on the long side, and the short side also worked very well. I worked well with Ole Richard for many years, and together we developed several uncorrelated day trading strategies. Without these three people, I'm pretty confident I would be in a much worse place. Oddmund Groette

Social media is probably telling you to take bigger risks in trading. Who doesn't want to get rich? Especially those under 30 seem to be attracted to this. However, we believe the edge is doing the opposite. The earlier you learn to protect capital and compound consistently, the harder it becomes to lose. You can't compound if you lose all or a lot of your capital. Most traders get stuck in the same cycle: Deposit → overleverage → blow up → repeat. Rule-based trading breaks that cycle. Be patient.
