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

Following on in the series of Market Dynamics the NFPs presented a great opportunity to take a closer look at what happens during important news events. I’ve learned my lesson by now: don’t trade during news events. And this is especially true of stop orders in these situations. Price will just hop straight through. When it does the fill is awful, and the worst part, as happened on Friday: it reverts very quickly hitting any protective stops. The outcome? You book losses which could… Read more

As discussed in the articles on Bullish and Bearish Engulfing Bars, this indicator highlights the bars, and allows you to implement those trading strategies. The only input is an offset as to where to put the arrows indicating the bars in pips. This is best placed on an hourly chart.  The indicator will loot at the previous 8 bars, and check to see if the first group of four hourly bars engulfs the previous four hourly bars.  This is then rolled over with every new hourly bar.

I’ve written several articles on what happens during news announcements, and associated quick trading strategies.  But from a regular trader’s perspective, surely there must be another way to approach these things. In this article I’ll given an overview as to how to trade these news announcements in a slightly more leisurely way, and see if there is anything to be had out of trading against market hysteria.  The instrument of choice will be the EURUSD, though you can pick any other inst… Read more
Trading News Announcements Systematically: EURUSD and Non-Farm Payrolls
This week’s article is more tongue in cheek: do natural phenomena affect the markets? What we’ll be particularly looking at are the full moon, new moon, and solar eclipses, especially since we had one on the 9th March this year. Back in 2005 I wrote a similar article at Barclays Capital for the weekly quant newsletter we sent out to clients. It was a summer lull, and it seemed like a swell idea. The results back then indicated that it was the New Moon rather than the Full Moon that really imp… Read more

Equity Mean Reversion
At last!  We’ve made it to the mean-reverting part of the series, starting with our focus on equities and their mean-reversion habits. So, here’s the deal.  We’re going to keep it simple, just like in the previous three posts, and start from the ground up.  Over the following series we’ll culminate in a simple, straightforward (and well known) system that still works. In detail for this article:
  • What do we mean by mean-reversion and how can we measure it?
  • What are some natural meth… Read more
