Engineers design stuff.
Why do Quants prefer to fit?
In this talk, Robert Carver will explain what designing a trading system actually involves, explore why designing might be better than fitting, and introduce some of the tools you could use. He will also take you through the design process for an example trading strategy. Finally, he will discuss how we can have the best of both worlds: strategies that are well designed and also fitted to the data.
