Bias-Free Backtesting: The Big Saturday Interview with Trader Ernest Chan

You are only moments away from our Bias-Free Backtesting: The Big Saturday Interview with trader Ernest Chan.

Noted Dr. Ernest Chan of E.P. & Associates and the hedge fund EXP Quantitative on the topic of trading and system development, "The more sophisticated your model, the less likely it is to be actually profitable going forward."

This observation sets the tone for a fascinating conversation with a trader who has worked with investment banks like Morgan Stanley and hedge funds like Millennium Partners. A specialist in trading system development and implementation, Dr. Chan has spent years applying his understanding of statistics and probability to the high-intensity world of stock and futures trading.

He is the author of Quantitative Trading: How to Build Your Own Algorithmic Trading Business, an advanced guide to trading system development that covers everything from backtesting and system automation to risk management and strategy scalability. Read his blog at http://epchan.blogspot.com.
