Welcome to the In The Money Podcast by Zerodha, where we bring you the sharpest minds from around the world in trading, markets, and active investing.
In this episode, we sit down with Rob Hanna, founder of Quantifiable Edges and a widely respected researcher in systematic trading, known for his work on market seasonality, quantitative edges, and rules-based strategies. Rob managed his own private investment fund from 2001 to 2019 and today serves as a portfolio manager and investment advisor at Capital Advisors 360, where he continues to apply data-driven research to systematic investment strategies.
In this conversation, Rob shares how his trading evolved from pattern-based discretionary setups to largely systematic models, how traders can discover edges through observation and statistical testing, and why robustness matters when designing trading systems. We also discuss mean reversion strategies, overnight edges, market breadth, seasonality, and how he manages a diversified portfolio of systematic models while emphasizing risk management, position sizing, and adaptability in changing market environments.
