Ep. 198: William Adams Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is William Adams, a private trader and systems developer. He is based in Zurich and works with institutional clients. Adams has over 17 years of experience in financial markets.

The topic is systematic trading strategies.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• The first time Adams got the "trading bug"
• Early trading strategies
• Generating alpha
• The strategies that Adams uses today
• The "core satellite approach"
• Why Adams chose options over futures
• The seasonality of trades
• Inspirational resources found by Adams
• The influence of Zurich on Adams, and whether or not Americans can learn a thing or two from the Swiss
