EP 269 | Reducing Anxiety and Drawdowns through Quantifiable Edges | Rob Hanna
The shock of his first major losing year in 2004 as a discretionary trader, propelled Rob Hanna to find quantifiable statistical advantages that would help mitigate the fluctuations in his equity curves. Knowing the dangers of curve fitting, in trying to find that ‘perfect’ system, Rob zeroed in on simpler approaches that would combine seasonality, overbought, oversold and Federal Reserve days. The result is a system that helps minimize anxiety and drawdowns while keeping him invested for the bulk of bullish moves.

I can’t get over that Rob sounds exactly like the secret tunnel hippie from Avatar the Last Airbender. He’s just missing the surfer inflections.

I cannot for the life of me find a swing strategy that works for longs. The top 20 of Kinfo are all shorts. (except BMAC who scalps big bids)

Over what time frame? Could be a product of the recent (since early August) market.

Great episode, but Ian's microphone sounds really harsh and trebly, especially over headphones when he pronounces the letter "S". It's almost painful to listen to. Rob and Tessa sound fine.

@junglecat7263 thanks for letting us know about the sound from Ian's microphone. If you heard the episode from the website version here: chatwithtraders.com/ep-269-rob-hanna/ could you tell us if it sounds less harsh and trebly as you described (or same issue) compared to the KZbin format, so that we know where adjustments might need to be made in future episodes. Thank you.

@@ChatWithTradersPodcast The harshness seems a bit less pronounced on the website version. Throw on some headphones an note how harsh the "S" sounds are when Tessa and Ian speak as opposed to Rob who seems to have a more rolled off treble on his mix. I think you just need to roll off the high end on the mic EQ

@@junglecat7263 Please consider getting different headphones. I am an audio engineer and use industry standard headphones. It sounds fine on my side, so it should sound fine on 90% of headphones basically. Chipping in here. @ChatWithTradersPodcast if you ever need input or fix bad audio, I can help out.
