On this episode, I\u2019m joined by a quant trader who works at a high frequency trading firm\u2014though you might be surprised to hear, he started out on the same path that many retail traders do\u2014his name is; Dave Bergstrom.\nThe thing that makes Dave unique from most traders who\u2019ve been on this podcast previously, is how he uses data-mining techniques to develop trading strategies. Though data-mining, in trading, often has a negative connotation attached to it, Dave believes this stems from bad practices and poor evaluation of methods.\nIn addition to the above and ways to reduce curve-fitting, we talk about escaping randomness, learning to write code, Dave\u2019s three laws for strategy development, setting expectations and plenty more.\nQ+A: Got a question for Dave?
