Hello, my name is Corvin

I’m here because I am passionate about helping beginning to intermediate retail traders trading the Foreign Exchange markets to become consistently profitable.

I know what it is like to be overwhelmed by market news, advertised trading systems, and gazillions of unsolicited trade recommendations. What do you do? What do you trade? How do you know it’s going to work?

That is why I am here to help you to

  • Acquire the right discipline to trade successfully
  • Simplify the process of incorporating market news and price action
  • Create a framework for trading that leads to consistent outcomes
  • Present simple approaches to the FX markets that are consistently profitable
  • Make money in a safe and consistent regular manner
  • Overcome all the bad habits that come along with losing traders:
    • Impulsive trading
    • Fear of taking decisions
    • Lack of a plan
    • No patience
    • Overtrading

As a result of achieving these goals your trading approach will become serene, consistent, and ultimately profitable. In the words of George Soros: “If investing is entertaining, if you’re having fun, you’re probably not making any money and good investing is boring.”

Or put another way, by Ed Seykota, one of the trading greats:

My trading journey has been like that of most other traders: starting out by following every market hype there is, following other’s opinions, trying out every trading approach, trying every market that you can trade. The outcome was just a string of losses, almost all due to three most common trading mistakes:

  • Over-leverage and over-trading
  • Lack of a plan an strategy
  • Lack of patience

As my career took me into professional trading I was forced to start focusing. Focusing on one asset class. On one set of strategies. And taking my time to come up with appropriate strategies. The outcome? I have an oversight of the Foreign Exchange markets that allow me to be consistent and profitable. Do all these strategies make money all the time? No. Are they consistent? Yes.

What are the results like? For starters my hedge-fund since inception has posted following returns:

BRIEF BIO
After completing my PhD in String Theory at Cambridge University I went to the City to enter the field of systematic trading. I’ve worked on both the Buy Side (investment banks) and Hedge Funds, ultimately setting up my own fund, which trades the G10 currencies in an automated and systematic fashion.

Following is an interview with me from Nov 2014, which sums up my views on what to expect when you enter the field of trading: Shard Fund Interview

Most people are familiar with the term ORB (open range breakout). It was popularized by Toby Crabel’s book “Day Trading with Short Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout”, as well as the The Logical Trader: Applying a Method to the Madness (Wiley Trading) by Mark Fisher. ORB uses the price range set at the start of a trading period to determine the future price moves, using a breakout-style approach. In this article we’re going to apply this principle to the FX market using a who… Read more
How to Trade the Start of the Year: Guide to Stress-Free Positioning
Kelly betting is an optimal approach to allocating capital to your system. In this article I want to show you how to apply this approach to your trading, and more importantly what kind of interesting questions you can answer using the ideas behind Kelly betting, in particular: “How long does it take to double my money?” First let’s start out with a simple example and progress to actual markets and trading systems. The example is as follows, and tends to be an interview question for a… Read more
Kelly - What Is It and How to Use It
Market timing refers to the fact that by judiciously choosing entry and exit methods in a given market you can out-perform buy-and-hold. The first question of course is why you should buy-and-hold in the first place. The idea stems from the equity markets.  Historically they have risen.  The famous chart of course is the S&P 500 over the last 65 years:
S&P 500 since 1965
S&P 500 since 1965
So why should this happen? Economic reasoning is behind this argument.  Long term macro and micro economic gro… Read more

Mean Reversion and Market Regimes
In this second part of the Mean-Reversion in Equities series we’ll cover the reasons behind why mean reversion works in various market regimes. In the previous article we combined the idea of looking at two consecutive down-days combined with buying the S&P 500 while it was below its five day moving average. A question that stands out: why does it work so well?  And, will it ever stop? The answer to this question lies at the heart of developing good trading strategies.

High Frequency trading has become both the poster-boy and the scapegoat over the last couple of years in trading circles. It’s been seen as a sure-fire way of making money, as well as a sneaky way the flash-boys tax all the other participants in the market. In this article I want to cover some of the basics of High-Frequency Trading, as well as how it applies to trading from your “Living Room.” An example of such trading from your own private realm is the following P&L chart showing profits i… Read more

Investing in Bonds
Of all things on this planet?!  Aren’t they boring?  Not explosive enough?  Isn’t this stuff what old people invest in?  Also, aren’t they supposed to start to sell-off?  And how do you get your hands on these over the counter instruments. In the first article of this series on Creating Profitable Trading Strategies  we started with the premise that you need to look at assets and their underlying biases. We covered equities.  They’re exciting.  Buffett makes 19.1% a year on them.  An… Read more
