Martin Fund: Combining best of both worlds

摘要

When the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) bought the New York Board of Trade in 2006, David Martin understood that his floor trading days were numbered and began to prepare for life as an electronic trader and eventually as a money manager. He was somewhat prepared because he was not a pure scalper, preferring to trade spreads in the softs complex over the previous 15 years. "I started working to change and adapt trading strategies that would work in electronic markets," Martin says. "I had a trading system that I worked on since 1990. It is kind of like trying to repair your boat when you are out at sea."
