Chat With Traders interview with Nick Radge
Recently Nick Radge had the opportunity to chat with Aaron Fifield from the Chat With Traders podcast. This is the second time Nick has appeared on this podcast and you can listen to the first interview here.
The new podcast is titled ‘The Casino Edge, Mean Reversion & How to Develop Robust Trading Systems with Nick Radge’. That’s a lot to cover in one podcast but Aaron and Nick managed to do it.
Listen to the podcast here: EP 064: The casino edge, mean reversion strategies, and how to develop robust trading systems w/ Nick Radge
Nick is a systematic trend follower and momentum trader, most active in Australian and US equity markets.
This time around, Aaron and Nick discussed mean reversion strategies and why they may appeal to certain traders, the importance of trade frequency when developing a system, which then leads into the characteristics of a robust trading system.
One of Aaron’s ‘top takeaways’ from this conversation, was hearing about Nick’s emphasis on trying to break and stress test systems – rather than simply trying to develop the “best system”.
Like the last few guests, Nick has also offered to answer any trading questions you might have. So if there’s something you want to know more about, just leave your questions in the comments are at the bottom of this page.
