    Alexander O'Neill

    Ex-Pro Derivatives Trader, MEng

    After nearly a decade long career in the commodity industry culminating at one of the world's largest trading houses - Glencore, as a Derivatives Trader specialising in Options, I realised that the future of trading lay not in human intuition, but in the power of algorithms.

    I built Spectral Alpha to share my knowledge and experience of deploying hundreds of simple strategies that work by capturing obvious market behaviour.
