Who is running it

Carl C.G. Eriksson

Carl C.G. Eriksson shaking hands with someone at a conference

I have traded systematically with my own capital since 2015. Every algorithm I have published is live in my own account, which is a far more uncomfortable way to be wrong in public.

Most of what I know came from the strategies that did not work, and that is most of what this day is about: the decisions that quietly flatter a backtest, and what it feels like to hold a system through a drawdown it was designed to have.

Three books, the full statistics rather than the pleasant subset, and talks at Web Summit and the IG Trading Summit. This is the first whole day of it.

After New York

Where it goes next.

Two dates are held. Neither is open yet, and neither will open quietly.

  • London Thu 11 March 2027Date held, not confirmed Venue being confirmed, central London. Same format, same full day.
  • Stockholm Thu 6 May 2027Date held, not confirmed Venue being confirmed. Likely the only one of the two held in Swedish.
