Careers at Double-Digit Numerics

We always welcome contact from people interested in working for us or collaborating with us.

Since we are applied mathematicians we prefer employees who have gotten their hands dirty in the real world. This means five years or more experience analysing real numbers.

But if you are smart although inexperienced or if you are interested in theoretical collaborations then we are interested too.

Contact us if you are interested.

 

Do You have a Trading Scheme?

We sometimes get approached by people with trading schemes that they want us to validate. Before we look at such plans you should be able to:

• Calculate the alpha generated by your scheme and a confidence interval for that alpha.
• Explain what is the market inefficiency that you are exploiting (if you don't know where your alpha is coming from then how do you know you aren't just lucky?)
• Demonstrate that you have not optimised a backtested model (use cross-validation to prove that it will work out-of-sample)
• Prove that your positive alpha does not come with a risk of compensating negative alpha (it is no use generating alpha for ten years then losing it all in the 11th year)

Remember that we are skeptical and cynical. And proud of that.
