My main area of interest is algorithmic trading and trading strategies. However, I am also very interested in macroeconomic topics, especially since I lived and studied in Shanghai for half a year. That is why I plan to write about those topics with a focus on China. I am one semester away from finishing my bachelor’s degree in Economics and Finance and plan to pursue a master’s degree in quantitative finance afterward. I have also visited finance-related events such as the Abu Dhabi Finance Week and hold a CISI level 3 certificate in Wealth and Investment Management. During the past 2 years, when I managed money via the copy trading system of Etoro, I realized that I would get far better clarity concerning my investment ideas when discussing them with other investors, hence my motivation to write on Seeking Alpha. My track record has so far been a rather conservative one. During the end of 2020, when I first started trading, my portfolio yielded 17.5 percent. Shortly before the crash in 2022, I went market neutral and managed to be almost flat on the year, only losing 0.16 percent. What followed was my worst year, only gaining 0.8 percent while the market was soaring. This made me realize that I needed a system for when to exit and enter the market and start my journey as a quantitative trader. Since then, my portfolio yielded 12.84 last year at a beta of less than 0.6. This year, I have finally increased my risk to enable a higher yield on my investment.
