    055 - Toby Crabel - Short-Term Futures Trading with Size!

    Toby Crabel — founder of Crabel Capital Management (~$5B AUM) and author of the legendary *Day Trading with Short Term Price Patterns and Intraday Breakouts* (1990), the book that gave the world the opening range breakout and NR4/NR7 patterns — joins the show for a rare, wide-ranging conversation. Toby traces his path from a pro tennis career to the Chicago trading floors, his formative stints with Victor Niederhoffer and his early connections to Monroe Trout and Paul Tudor Jones, and how zero-commission floor trading shaped his short-term edge from day one. He unpacks why the "clean open" that powered ORB for decades has eroded under 24-hour markets and institutional flow, why studying historical price shocks (1987, COVID) is non-negotiable for systematic survival, and why PhDs and machine learning are no substitute for a causal, market-structure-driven research process. For the solo systematic trader, Toby's advice is refreshingly practical: start with one market, build strict rules around a single idea, and know exactly when your edge has died. A must-watch for anyone serious about the history, robustness, and future of short-term systematic trading.

    054 - Kieran Duff - Trading for a Living

    Trading your own account was never going to replace a salary — the compounding you need gets wiped out by the withdrawals you need to live on. The more commercial option is to trade investor capital, but the options are limited. In this video we get a look inside a trader's journey with Darwinex, quickly establishing a track record and attracting external capital. In the Substack article I break down why prop firm evaluations are built for the firm to win, not you: daily loss limits, trailing drawdown, and consistency rules that quietly punish traders with genuine edge. I talk about why fixed stop-losses backfire to explain exactly why trailing drawdown is the worst offender, and why the industry's real ~10% pass rate says far more about the rules than about trader skill. Then I cover the alternative most traders never consider: platforms like Darwinex, where there's no evaluation to survive, just a certified track record and capital that's actually incentivised to see you succeed. Check it out: https://algoadvantage.substack.com/publish/post/207723117 I've just released an incredible 'Trading Breakthroughs with AI course' for members of the Collective. You'll also get the bonus chat with Kieran (and all my other guests). https://algoadvantage.io/collective Contents: 0:00 From Crypto to Systematic Trading 7:31 Switching From Discretionary to Systematic 12:44 Building a Live Track Record on Darwinex 18:05 Trading Styles That Attract AUM 25:47 FX, Breakout and Trend Following Systems 32:20 Choosing Timeframes and Trade Frequency 37:18 Mentor Lessons for Trading Psychology 42:48 Scaling Into Futures and Better Execution 49:12 Metrics Darwinex Uses to Fund Traders 57:03 How Darwinex Allocates Trader Capital 1:00:33 Track Record Length and Strategy Fit 1:06:59 Using AI and Claude Code for Trading

    053 - Martyn Tinsley - 2 of 2 - Walk Forward Correlation: A New Tool for Robust Strategy Design!

    Big discount on Martyn's tool for subscribers: https://www.algoadvantage.io/toolbox/ Watch Part 1 first! https://youtu.be/Kxvp00VbLx0 My detailed write up on Walk Forward Correlation Analysis: https://www.algoadvantage.io/podcast/053-martyn-tinsley-2/ Martyn introduces Walk Forward Correlation (WFC) as a diagnostic for two problems that sit at the heart of systematic trading: over-fitting and structural edge. Traditional walk-forward analysis typically optimizes a strategy on an in-sample window, picks the “best” parameter set, then tests that one choice out-of-sample. Used the wrong way, there’s a potential flaw here: one parameter set can look good out-of-sample purely by accident. That tells you very little about whether the underlying model is genuinely robust. Tinsley’s move is simple, but useful. Instead of judging one selected point, he looks at all parameter combinations in the optimisation grid and asks a harder question: does strong in-sample performance tend to map to strong out-of-sample performance across the whole space? If yes, you may have something real. If no, you’re probably flattering noise.

    051 - Samir Varma - Classify Risk Don't Chase Alpha

    What does a quantum physicist & inventor bring to quant trading? He thinks differently and is purposefully anti-alpha - instead focusing on risk management. After years of trying conventional risk models, Samir’s conclusion was not that risk is impossible to model. It was that most people are solving the wrong problem. They try to predict exact future risk levels. His approach shifted to classifying market states instead: when risk is low, be exposed; when risk is high, reduce or eliminate exposure. That is a profound change in mindset. Prediction asks for precision. Classification asks for usefulness. And in markets, usefulness usually wins.

    050 – Samir Varma - When Academic Finance Theory Fails

    Where Real Edge in Quant Trading Actually Comes From Do not watch this podcast. This is Part 1 with Samir Varma, and in Part 2 we go into great detail about his quantitative trading. In the Collective, he gives our members some specific instructions on how to measure risk differently – this stuff isn’t fluff. But in Part 1, I got derailed into quantum physics, determinism, AI, Asimov’s three laws of robotics and more. One of my favourite shows – but the first show I’ve done that isn’t about trading! It’s the warm-up you need to make the most of Part 2 though, and if I didn’t publish it, I’d be depriving a great many of you who will no doubt find this stuff as fascinating as myself! Still, if you only have time for strict ‘trading content’, fair warning, skip this. Let me know your thoughts…

    049 - David Bush - Build a High-Performance Quant Crypto Portfolio Without Blowing Yourself Up!

    Crypto Trader's Edge Course: https://www.algoadvantage.io/academy/crypto-traders-edge/ Most crypto traders are still thinking like coin pickers when they should be thinking like portfolio architects. High-performance systematic crypto trading is not about chasing narratives — it is about robust portfolio construction, trend following, mean reversion, risk management, alpha stacking, diversification, and building strategies that can survive extreme volatility. This pod with David Bush breaks down how to build a smarter algorithmic crypto trading portfolio using proven trading logic, better R&D, and an all-weather mindset. If you want to trade crypto like a serious systematic trader — not a gambler — this is worth your time. #CryptoTrading #AlgorithmicTrading #SystematicTrading #QuantTrading #CryptoPortfolio #PortfolioConstruction #RiskManagement #TrendFollowing #MeanReversion #TradingStrategy #Backtesting #RobustTrading #QuantResearch #Alpha #CryptoMarkets

    048 - Michael Wallace - Dynamic Position Sizing Like You Haven't Seen Before

    This interview with Michael Wallace (who was inspired by Larry Williams & Ralph Vince) brings a few things to mind. First is the absolute centrality of the role of position sizing in trading, second is the nature of ‘probabilities’ in trading. They are highly related obviously. Sizing is not an afterthought; it can change everything. Presuming an ‘average win rate’ is going to apply to your next 10 trades is not a wise way to proceed either. You want to be more ‘statistically minded’ than that – just toss a coin 10 times, and do that 10 times, the number of heads you get in each group of 10 is going to vary wildly no doubt. Toss it 10,000 times and ‘averages will tend to show up, this is the law of large numbers, but accounts can blow up a long time before averages play out. Because... sequencing risk.
