Why read Quantified Strategies?
While we don’t give any specific investment advice, we do believe we have some insights to offer. We have skin in the game and eat our own pudding. We trade many of the strategies we publish on this website (obviously not all).
Why do we run websites if we make a living trading and investing?
We make a living out of our hobby, but we also like to make money (like most people). Moreover, we also have a true passion for anything related to trading/investing. We like being in contact with traders and we become better investors by running the website. The more traders and investors we know, the better we get as both traders and human beings.
Our main motivation for this blog is to improve our understanding, knowledge, and competence. Writing is a very powerful tool, and we believe an audience makes us put in a little more effort.
We both have higher educations, but we quote Nassim Nicholas Taleb: “What I was given to study in school I have forgotten; what I decided to read on my own, I still remember”.
We regard ourselves as more “street smart” than “academic smart”. We have survived in the markets for twenty years by being adaptable and flexible, not by building theoretical and complex models. If something seems reasonable, we go for it.
We’re investment agnostics: We invest in whatever time frame there is: day trading, swing trading, or investing for decades. We don’t go into the office in the morning with a rigid framework/mindset for where, when, and how to invest. Investing is a continuous learning experience.
English is not our mother tongue, so please apologize for any grammatical mistakes.

Editorial Standards
Let’s shed some light on our editorial standards:
We have been (and are) full-time traders since 2001, and our mission is to simplify and help trading and investing decisions so that our readers have the confidence to make money. We aim to ensure that all of the articles on our site are helpful, practical, unbiased, and accurate.
The Quantified Strategies staff (Oddmund and Hakan) work with our network of contributors and review articles, update them, and manage all the articles you find on Quantified Strategies. We don’t make recommendations for you to buy, sell, or hold securities or investments – we are not financial advisors.
We offer independent, backtested, and unbiased articles (and videos) to provide relevant analysis, insights, and educational information about financial markets. We don’t give opinions – we give statistical and historical evidence in the form of backtests:
Statistics and facts don’t care about opinions!
To make it clear, we don’t give opinions or anecdotal evidence.
Unlike most other financial websites, we have been trading full-time (and successfully) for decades. We have hands-on experience – our hands are dirty and full of scars.
We are continually updating, evaluating, and editing articles to make sure anything is not out of date. Sometimes we even completely rewrite articles. Such articles are stamped to reflect this.
Each article has a byline that shows the name of the author, or the one who contributed to that particular piece. The byline has also a link to more information about the author. Each article is reviewed and confirmed by a second contributor/author.
Our editorial team approves all story ideas independently, but are later verified, fact-checked, and confirmed by a second contributor/author.
We don’t publish if there are any conflicts of interest.
All content is for educational purposes and is not a substitute for someone who is a licensed or certified professional. And no backtest is, of course, any guarantee that it will repeat in the future.
Fact-checking
Every article that is published is reviewed and verified by a second contributor/author.
We aim to provide high-quality content with no use of Artificial Intelligence.
Corrections
We strive to keep our brand name of Quantified Strategies in high regard. Thus, anything that is not correct or outdated will be removed or changed.
In the financial markets, there is little “evergreen” content. We date-stamp articles that are updated.
We welcome specific corrections to errors or mistakes. If you spot any errors or mistakes, don’t hesitate to contact us.
