Build Trading Systems with Confidence - October 18-19th, 2008 in Chicago

Many system traders operate in a vicious cycle in which a system is developed and deployed, shortly thereafter going into a drawdown greater than the maximum historical drawdown. In response, the trader pulls the system and goes back to the drawing board, only to watch the system recover to its former performance levels. Our goal is to break this cycle by understanding its underlying causes and developing tools to cope with them.

At the end of this intensive 2-day seminar you will have a solid foundation in automated trading system design, development, testing, and deployment. You’ll learn how to assess and address infrastructure needs and data issues, system design methodologies on various timeframes, how to avoid common traps in evaluating and testing trading systems, and automated execution of trading systems.

Perhaps most importantly, you’ll learn how to calibrate your expectations realistically and assess the real-time performance of your trading system. Along the way, together we will build the tools necessary to perform the above (primarily in Excel) and apply them to the development of a complete trading system from concept to implementation.

Here are some of the topics to be covered :

Building Blocks - Costs, Data, Time Frame, Execution

Various Types of Trading Systems

Statistical Concepts

Tools - Position Sizing, Porfolio Testing, Resampling

Trading System Development - From Concept to System
