About

Hi, I am Jez Liberty. Au.Tra.Sy is my “online home” for all my work, research and insights on automated trading.

Automated Trading

I have had a passion for trading and particularly automated trading for over 10 years. I have given it lot of my time, lots of thoughts and I have now taken it to the next level in terms of commitment – including the creation of the Au.Tra.Sy blog.

Trend Following

Given the nature of the markets, I believe that Trend Following offers one of the best strategies to build wealth over the long run. However, most posts written here should apply to mosst types of automated/systematic trading strategies.

I am not limiting myself to any one strategy but Trend Following is my primary strategy of interest.

    Hi, you have a nice blog, can you add us on your blogroll and we will add you? What is your core business?

    Joe,
    Thanks for the comment and the offer. As per the About page, I try to keep the blog focused on automated trading system and Trend Following and as your blog does not seem to cover this category, I will pass.

    Just by curiosity: how much time a week do you dedicate to your own project (building an automated trading system)?

  • Jez // Dec 1, 2009 at 1:45 pm

    Alex,
    The short answer is “not enough!” ;-)
    Seriously it is hard to quantify as every week is different, sometimes I get stuck (like these last couple of weeks), sometimes I can spend the whole weekend working on it.
    I would say on average probably 20/25 hrs a week (including everything: reading articles, looking after the blog, developing, etc.) when I seriously work at it (it’s been an on and off project).

    But I think the most important is to work effectively (for example I spent quite a lot of time before trying to build an back-testing platform in java while learning the language – which I think was definitely not the best use of my time!)

    Great blog! I’m an undergraduate student in Finance, this is a good resource for me on getting started.

    Though you come from a technical background, I may have some catching up to do reaching our goals.
    Keep it up

    Thanks for sharing all your insights. It’s really a great blog!

    Just one question: have you ever used metastock?

  • Jez // Mar 9, 2010 at 11:30 am

    Hey – Thanks Kevin! No, I have never used MetaStock…
