Welcome to my online repository of research and insights on automated trading system development
Trading hand signals - tradingpithistory.com
It’s nearly the end of the Summer and I hope you enjoyed a nice time. The blog will go on a short break until the end of August, while I (hopefully) enjoy some good weather in the French Cevennes and the English Lake District.
In the mean time, I’ll leave you with a link to a pretty cool website I found (Trading Pit history – sample pics above), which documents the various hand signals used on the futures trading floors. A typical part of the trading folklore, and a language of its own, probably in decline due to the advent of electronic trading.
New readers: Welcome to the blog! You might be interested in catching up on the posts from the main 2 topics of the Summer: roll yield and back-testing results statistical significance – or older posts (the “Popular Posts” section on the left-hand side is a good place to start).
