What my guests say...

Anders Lindell, Founder & Chairman of IPM:

Thank you very much Niels. It's been a pleasure. It's rare to have such a conversation over 2 1/2 hours, almost, an interview with such insights into the business in general, so highly appreciate it, thank you.

Nigol Koulajian, Founder & CEO of Quest Partners:

Thanks, you've been extremely accurate, and your understanding of the CTA space, the hedge fund space, psychology, business in general, I think you've covered all areas, at least you've dug very deep into all of the different areas that I have anything to say about, so I'm very, very grateful for your attention, your thought and for doing this. This is a great service for people.

Aref Karim, Founder & CEO of QCM:

Wonderful, thank you very much, Niels. That was a great pleasure to spend the last couple of hours on this call.

Marc Malek, Founder of Conquest Capital:

I think that you asked all of the right questions in the time that we had.

Scott Billington, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Covenant Capital Management:

I think you actually did a great job in hitting on things that I think are interesting. I think we did a great job of staying away from your typical due diligence. I don't remember mentioning a single statistic about Covenant, which I think is great. I think you have obviously done this before there's nothing that I can think of that you missed. I thought this was very well done. Conversational, low key.

What my listeners say...

Unparalled insight into the hedge fund industry

by Pat_Hennessy52 from USA

Top Traders Unplugged offers its listeners extremely insightful interviews with some of the biggest players in the hedge fund industry. It is very rare to have an in-depth view of what really goes on behind the scenes at some of these funds and has enlightened me on many facets of the hedge fund industry that I was not previously aware of. Niels always has well informed questions ready for his guests and this affords the guest the opportunity to speak at a high level about things very relevant to his business. I also love the transcripts of the interviews for those times that I do not have access to audio.

Superb material

by Riccardo Ronco - London from UK

I have been listening to TTU podcasts for a while now and I have to admit that the content is superb. I have found myself taking notes furiously on my notepad whilst listening to several of these podcast. The Quest Partners one stands out for me for the quality and quantity of ideas freely given to those willing to listen. Simply unmissable. AAA+

Very insightful

by Volare8888 from USA

From a new trader prospective a very insightful podcast of the approaches that top traders take in their field. From all the possible aspects of management, some technical insight of the models used, psychological understanding of the market, and how top traders use their emotions for the success of their trades. Great stuff.

Incredible Insight!

Great podcast. As a private Investor / Trader- listening to professionals give advice and encouragement is absolutley priceless. Trying to beat the market, and the large institutionals, with the talent they employ, is difficult, and when you do, you question how long it will last. But as a trend follower- listening to Niels, Moritz and Jerry, gives me the "suppport" group that I need to keep plugging away during draw downs. Keep it up, and thank you! ORT!

The BEST systematic/trend following resource

01/28/2019
Are you seeking information and transparency? Do you value simplicity and honesty? Do you want to learn about risk and money management? Are you interested in alternative investment strategies and long-term capital growth? You will learn this and much more with this podcast through the lens of trend following and systematic investing. Start with episode 1 back in 2014 and work your way through. It’s impossible you won’t learn something useful and applicable.

Great educational resource for all

Ever want to ask specific or general questions about systematic investing and trend following to the guys “making the sausage” and get direct answers? Look no further. This is a terrific podcast full of lively discussions about the CTA business, trend following, how it works, etc etc. They welcome questions from anyone (traders investors allocators etc). Anyone in the business who wants to get better or anyone outside the business looking to learn how it works should be listening to this podcast. Many meals for a lifetime contained within. Thanks to Niels, Jerry, and Moritz for doing this.

Trendfollowing

12/21/2018
I have never been clever or lucky enough to find the “holy Gail” to extract profits from the markets without drawdowns, but after looking at many systems over the past couple of decades, institutional on buyside and sellside and yes there are strategies which generate returns for a limited number participants with large funds of $500m or more… Trendfollowing is as good as it gets for us mere mortals, in brace it! Love it and hang on tight! Yes Trendfollowing is having an awful time right now (Dec-18) but maybe a good time to entre. Niels and his guests really do open up and share the realities of trading a trendfollowing systems – good times and bad! We can all tell stories about the winners but accepting your losses is what this games about! Stay strong and the profits will follow. Niels. Keep up the great work! Keep sharing and take the mystic out of systematic systems!
