How influential has Perry J. Kaufman's work been to Algo Trading?

  1. I am currently going through one of this books and quite impressed with his knowledge and expertise.

    How come he isn't talked about more often in the algorithmic trading space, and how come he hasn't become rich off such knowledge?
     
    murray t turtle and fordewind like this.
  2. Maybe he has, as well as everyone who has read the book

    I see you have only a few posts.

    If you stop posting, we'll add you to the list on the newly wealthy

    You appear to be a real person, but I don't think you're likely to get an answer to a question like that on ET

    You relish living in a negative world surrounded by negative comments.

    Perry is a VERY low-key guy, a guy who isn't into promoting anything. He is a mensch and an extremely bright guy. He enjoys his life somewhere up in the quiet, green hills of Northern New England.

    I have a lot of respect for the guy. His book had an influence on me back in the mid 1990's. I liked his adaptive moving average that used signal to noise ratio.
