Ep. 1230: Andrew Strasman Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Andrew Strasman, an experienced trend following trader with a background in the financial industry. Currently associated with Totem Asset Group as a commodity trading advisor, he began his journey in Chicago's trading circles in the 1990s and later joined DRW Trading. Andrew's trading philosophy centers on exploratory bets, a concept he embraced after a significant revelation in his career. He places a strong emphasis on disciplined trading, rigorous risk management, and maintaining ambivalence about individual trade outcomes, underlining the significance of adequate capitalization for trading success.

The topic is Trend Following.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Regulatory concerns in trading and podcast discussions
