Daniel Perczek.

My career started as a trader and market strategist. After successfully placing 4th twice in the final standings at the US Trading Championships (option writing division) and 9th in the Timer Digest list (pics below) I accepted positions at Ned Davis Research following by working at various Hedge Funds. Ten years later ended up designing software and implementing risk management frameworks for multiple manager platforms. This software was used primarily by fund of funds and pension plans; Ontario Teachers Pension Plan later became the largest customer. I was also involved in the research and implementation of Hedge Fund replication products and options strategies including an option strategy designed to hedge tail risks. These were successfully implemented in 2008 by multiple European Funds during the 2008 financial crisis and later implemented in the US by JPMorgan’s “Alternative Beta Hedge Replication Index ABI.”

For the past 12 years, I have been building long/short trading systems capable of performing well regardless of the direction of the SP500. I am a systems trader with a strong dislike for market timing - which I view as destructive for trading. I run a continuous exposure to the SP500 where risk is managed at the individual system level and not at the portfolio level. The systems I build are driven only by the trend itself and implied volatility.  The portfolio’s exposure is posted daily at the EOD at daniel@exporiskprivate. All my work is proprietary.
