Perry Kaufman<br />
Mastering Systematic Trading<br />
Perry J Kaufman began his career as a “rocket scientist,” before becoming involved in the futures markets in 1971. His earliest<br />
systematic programs used exponential smoothing and moving averages. In the late 1970s he moved to New York where he<br />
developed the most successful in-house commodity investment program for Prudential-Bache. From 1980 through 1991 he<br />
headed the systematic trading for Transworld Oil, which traded the largest proprietary account in futures markets in the world.<br />
From 1992 to 1999, Mr Kaufman was a principal and Head of Research for Drapeau Advisors, a Commodity Trading Advisor<br />
focused on short-term trading. From 2000, Mr Kaufman’s consulting business served clients such as Cinergy’s proprietary<br />
trading group, Graham Capital Management, and Mizuho’s Alternative Investments. Mr Kaufman writes extensively on<br />
markets and strategies. He has published 13 books, of which “Trading Systems and Methods, 5th Edition” (2013) is the most<br />
recent. He is President of KaufmanSignals.com, a new business that serves retail investors (www.KaufmanSignals.com). He<br />
continues to lecture to economic forums, investor groups, and graduate students.<br />
