Description

This course will give you exposure to how some of the best hedge funds on the planet trade FX (FOREX). I have spent the vast majority of my career in front office roles at some of the most prestige funds on the planet. My goal is to leverage my experience at Bluecrest Capital and Brevan Howard Asset Management and teach retail traders how institutional traders think about and trade financial markets. There is a clear disparity between the success of retail traders and hedge fund traders, most of this can be attributed to the information asymmetry between the two. Retail traders tend to be very technical analysis driven, whereas, whilst institutional traders incorporate technical analysis it is a small part of their trading process. They focus heavily on mathematical and statistical techniques to identify mis-pricing in markets and aim to take advantage of these asymmetric opportunities.This course will give you exposure to one of the best and most commonly used strategies (in my opinion) for trading FX The course will teach you how the strategy works, the core components of the strategy, how to implement it in python and how to generate trade ideas using the strategy. We will then focus our attention to different ways to backtest the strategy as well as explore additional ways the strategy can be further developed/optimised. By the end of the course, students should be able to construct proprietary Fair Value models for a multitude of currencies and use these models to identify asymmetric opportunities in markets.
