Biography

I have traded as a profession for Australian prop firms in short term interest rate and bond futures markets. The core strategies I used were based on quantitative yield curve spread analysis and outright momentum during fundamental / news events. I have completed a Masters Degree in Applied Finance and certifications in Data Science. My systems are quantitative and predominantly utilise fundamental factor models.
