Long Time Trader: Richard Weissman
In this episode/blog of the Market Mamas podcast, host Becky Gaskell welcomes Richard Weissman, a trading veteran who started his career on the exchange floor in 1987. Richard, a startup CTA with products like Return in Alpha and Tara, brings decades of wisdom, discussing his journey from the market crash of '87 to his current role overseeing risk for algorithmic models. The conversation dives deep into the philosophy of risk management, finding the "sweet spot" for aggressive yet calculated trading, and his "casino paradigm" for consistent success, which he details in his book, Trade Like a Casino.
