QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

Algorithmic Strategy Development
Designs and iterates on automated mean reversion strategies for MES and MNQ futures on the Quantower platform. Manages multiple concurrent strategy versions with production-grade C# architecture.
System Architecture
Builds tick-by-tick execution engines with thread-safe entry guards, JSON state persistence for restart recovery, configurable InputParameter exposure, and intrabar trailing stop management via quote events.
// Wilder SMMA RSI — production calc
_rsiSmma = (_rsiSmma * (_period - 1)
          + currentGain) / _period;
Signal Research
Researches and implements multi-factor entry gates including RSI exhaustion, ROC momentum filters, slope gates, and delta threshold guards. Focuses on statistical robustness over curve-fitting.
Macro Market Structure
Deep familiarity with repo market dynamics — GC repo, SOFR, ON RRP, BGCR/TGCR, SR1/SR3 futures, FRA/OIS spreads — and their intraday implications for futures liquidity and mean reversion behavior.
