Karim V.

I have 12 years of experience in the financial industry and I've been on both sides of the fence as a retail trader and as a professional. I have a quantitative and research background. I've worked on projects to search for and optimize trades, build algorithms for trade execution, and backtesters to put context around trade ideas. TECHNOLOGIES: Python, R, C#, Excel, VBA, EasyLanguage, thinkScript, RESTful PLATFORMS: Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, Metatrader, NinjaTrader, Trading Technologies, TD Ameritrade Thinkorswim, QuantConnect RECENT PROJECTS: -My last consulting project was to research and backtest an equity trading idea for a portfolio manager. Once the trade idea was finalized I built the trade execution and integrated it with their desired broker. - I built a C# app for a FX options trading group. They were trading over the counter options which expired at 9am daily and needed to view their expiring inventory easily. The app ran a database query, followed by some data wrangling to display everything to their desired format.
