Mathew Verdouw, CMT, CEO of the trading software company Optuma, was featured on the DailyFX podcast Trading Global Markets Decoded last week. Host Tyler Yell interviewed him about his experience with quantitative trading and his opinion on how to best implement those strategies within a larger technical analysis context.
“The term ‘quant’ is a little bit of a misnomer,” Verdouw said. “[There’s this] perception of people building mathematical models, and it sounds hard, but I think that as a quantitative technical analyst I just want to measure.”
“If I’m measuring my idea in a way that gets rid of all biases, and I’m being as robust and thorough as I can, I’d say that’s being quantitative,” he added.
