Optimize Your Execution: Trading Research Best Practice

In a rapidly evolving landscape, trading research continues to grow in significance. As trading shifts towards more dynamic, learning-based models, understanding and measuring the incremental value of trader decisions, strategy behaviour, and model outputs becomes even more critical. Effective trading research should explain what happened, explore the reasons driving this behaviour, and identify actionable insights to improve future trading decisions.

In this 45-minute interactive virtual workshop, we invite industry peers from both buy and sell side financial institutions to join us in a discussion, including a live analysis demo and Q&A session with industry experts and market practitioners, on how to go beyond measure & interpret your data to address real-world challenges in trading research and execution performance.
