2 What do systematic traders actually do? Why do we use algorithmic execution? What do we do? An anecdotal history of systematic trading 1954: IBM introduces the 704, the world s first mass-produced computer with floating point hardware, index registers, and core memory. 1956: Mathematics PhD student Edward O. Thorp observes that a deck of cards has memory the conditional distribution of the next card depends on the previous cards dealt. He uses the IBM 704 to bootstrap a systematic strategy for Black Jack. He doubles his money in his first weekend. 1962: Thorpe publishes his system in Beat The Dealer, becomes a NY Times best-seller, and forces every casino in the world to alter the rules of the game and ban card counting virtually overnight. 1998: After being barred from the casinos, Thorpe applies his research to the stock market, and reports a 20% compound annual gain in his personal portfolio for more than 28 years. Man Source: Man database and Wikipedia. Session 2 Kerson 2

Source: Man database Is it an advantage not to read newspapers? Simulation of the Man Commodities Fund systematic overlay and WTI Crude Oil in New super-spike might mean USD 200 a barrel oil (MarketWatch, 7 March 2008; Model is LONG) An ominous warning that the rapid rise in oil prices has only just begun (The Independent, 11 June 2008; Model remains LONG, but starts to CUT) Will oil prices recover after tanking in 2008? (The Telegraph, 29 December 2008; Model remains SHORT) 6 Sample period of backtrack data: 1 January 2008 to 31 December In this backtrack, which corresponds to a simulation of the Man Commodities Fund USD institutional share class. There is no guarantee of trading performance and past performance is no indication of current or future performance/results. Sources: Man database and Bloomberg. Session 2 Kerson 3

5 The rise of the machines Coming soon to a market near you At least 30% of all US equity market volumes are traded by machines, with some estimates suggesting 60% or more In electronic commodities futures execution, we estimate that algo share has doubled in the last two years, from 20% to 40% High-touch or human-to-human rapidly going to zero for liquid futures US Equities markets: percentage of orders generated by algorithms Percentage of equity volume Man Sources: BloombergBusinessweek, 6 June 2013: How the Robots Lost: High-Frequency Trading's Rise and Fall. Marco Avellaneda, 2011: Algorithmic and High-frequency trading: an overview.
