197: Confessions Of A Champion Algo Trader - Kevin Davey

Confessions Of A Champion Algo Trader - Kevin Davey

In episode 197 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Kevin Davey, an algorithmic trading system builder, and trader. He is the author of a very well written book on the topic titled Building Winning Algorithmic Trading Systems and new book Entry and Exit Confessions of a Champion Trader.

Over his 25 years of experience, Kevin has been developing, analyzing, testing and creating trading strategies in every futures market from the e-mini S&P to crude oil to corn to cocoa. At the moment, he trades full-time for his own personal account, while helping traders around the world see more results in their trading.

Kevin contributed to the excellent trading book The Universal Principles of Successful Trading by Brent Penfold, where he was featured as a "Market Master." That book was part of my list The Forex Trading Books That Incredibly Improved My Own Trading.
