Presented at QuantCon Singapore 2016, Quantopian's quantitative finance and algorithmic trading conference, November 11th.
Risk management is an essential but often overlooked prerequisite to success in trading. No one would like to see their substantial profits generated over his lifetime of trading just vanishing over a few bad trades.
In this talk, Danielle will discuss a quantitative understanding of risk. She will then share a few techniques in risk management, with a case study to show how a proper risk management system helps improve the overall performance of trading strategies.
