Many traditional options investments and overlay strategies are rules-based, and therefore rigid. Selling covered calls may be an excellent strategy in stable markets, but a vulnerable strategy when volatility increases. Using investment objectives as an input, rather than strict trading rules permits strategies to adapt more readily as market conditions change, while still adhering to strict risk controls than other approaches. Michael Khouw will discuss the technological approach that Optimize Advisors has taken, provide examples of strategies that were used in different market regimes, and discuss the investment results that were achieved using these methods through the business cycle.
Several technology trends are reaching a level of maturity that is enabling Artificial Intelligence to emerge as a vital component of trading. These trends are the basis of partially or fully autonomous artificial intelligence trading systems that can learn, think, and evolve as new market dynamics emerge. The implication is that these new systems will capitalize on market dynamics in ways that are very hard for traditional traders to match.
