ROBERT CARVER
Writer & Trader
​
My books explain how to trade and invest, eithier fully systematically or by combining systematic rules with discretionary judgement. They are written for readers ranging from complete beginners with modest capital to experienced professionals managing institutional portfolios, and aim to be theoretically sound while remaining highly practical. The strategies presented are statistically robust, with properly evaluated performance rather than curve-fitted or selectively reported results, and draw on more than 25 years of real trading experience, including investment banking and hedge fund portfolio management.
They include the systems that I trade myself.​​​​
