Interesting Interview

Posted on another forum, http://forex-hunter.blogspot.com/200...ine-talks.html.

That was interesting. He also has a knack for explaining things clearly.

Indeed, I liked this one...

"Algorithmic trading which, we know, can make money does belong to the realm of technical (not fundamental) analysis. But I am skeptical of the broader forms of technical analysis where the question of randomness (or lack thereof) is often poorly addressed. One ought to be always mindful of the fact that a properly constructed random model can emulate many graphical signatures to which chartists ascribe significance."

I like this one:

"It depends on what you mean by ”simple.” Everything that can be conceived by a mind is simple to its creator at the moment when it is created. But it may take tens of thousands of lines of code to turn it into a practically useful product and years of work to work out the details."

For what its worth, this russian guy was ranked as the second most world-wide cited scientist in 2005-2006:

Quite an achievement especially considering he turned in his PhD thesis in 2001...

I'm following his Forex Automaton project with great interest. I always find it inspiring when scientists apply their knowledge and skills to try and make money (as I'm a scientist myself). Could he be the next Jim Simons?
