One of the most common uses of optimization is to find the “best” values for a trading strategy, but is this approach only giving us part of the picture?

Are there other uses for optimization that we can leverage to create better trading strategies?

Today we’re going to have a quick chat with World Cup Trading Champion Andrea Unger,  the only trader to ever win the competition 3 years in a row.

Andrea has a slightly different view on optimization which we touched upon in a previous podcast episode, back in Episode 16.

Today we’re going to dig into that a little more and hear Andrea’s thoughts on optimization and how he uses it to get a deeper understanding of the markets.

Don’t miss The Trading Masterclass of 2017

Back by popular demand the Trading Masterclass is running again this year, however this could be their last so don’t miss out seeing all 4 of these champion traders in 1 room, sharing their extensive trading knowledge.

It was an incredible event last year (one of the highlights for me) and it sold out fast.

This year looks to be the same, so get in quick – I’d hate for you to miss out!

Sounds great, give me more info!
