You are invited to join the San Francisco Behavioral Finance Symposium on November 14th

Are you allowing for known behavioral biases when building your algo trading strategy? And are you exploiting behavioral market factors in your trading strategy itself?

ATA members get discounted admission (45%) to attend the San Francisco Behavioral Finance Symposium.

More and more traders are realizing that behavioral science is an integral part of successful investing today, regardless of whether the trading is executed by a human or programmed by a human to be executed electronically. Numerous fin-tech start-ups are now focusing on the ways in which behavior affects trading, and how trading strategies can be designed to exploit behavioral anomalies in the markets.

As an Instructor of Behavioral Finance at both UC Berkeley, I hear a lot about what's happening in the field, and the more I see, the more I realize that algorithmic trading and behavioral science are not only the two most rapidly growing themes in investing today, but that they are rapidly converging with each other. I'd love to hear what members of this group think about that and whether they are using behavioral science in any way.

I also want to make you aware of an upcoming educational event in San Francisco that addresses this subject, and let you know that Algorithmic Traders Association members can attend at a 45% discount to general admission. The event is the 3rd Annual San Francisco Behavioral Finance Symposium – held on November 14th at Golden Gate University.

This full-day event is a unique collaboration between academia and industry dedicated entirely to education on behavioral finance for financial professionals, traders, and individual investors. It is entirely non-commercial and there is truly no event quite like it anywhere.

The full agenda, speaker bios and registration details are available at this link: https://behavioralfinance.wildapricot.org/page-1741319

Discounted admission for Algo Traders is just $120. (use registration code "partner15" and select Algo Traders Assn from the drop-down menu)

Speakers this year will include: 

Richard Peterson, MD (author of "Inside The Investor's Brain" and CEO of MarketPsych)

Clare Flynn Levy (CEO of Essentia Analytics)

Ludwig Chincarini (author of "The Crisis of Crowding")

Raife Giovinazzo, (Director of Research at Fuller & Thaler Asset Management)

Tom Howard (author of "Behavioral Portfolio Management" and CEO of AthenaInvest), 

and well-known behavioral coaches such as Cynthia Harrington and Rich Friesen, among others.

I look forward to your thoughts on behavioral science for Algo traders and hope many of you will be able to take advantage of this upcoming event.
