This event is recommended for risk managers, heads of trading desks at hedge funds, institutions, and trading companies and professional traders.

Conventional market wisdom teaches us that a more thorough understanding of trading statistics and market models is the answer to limiting risk and maximizing return. But is this reliance on a purely numerical approach truly capable of capturing the volatility in human behavior in the face of market uncertainty?

Synthesizing insights from Neuroeconomics, Modern Psychoanalysis, and 15 years of trading experience, Denise K. Shull, President of the consultancy Trader Psyches Inc., will outline more effective ways to accurately perceive, evaluate and judge market and trading risks.

“The Holy Grail lies in systematically integrating qualitative data into the framework of quantitative and algorithmic based trading strategies” she says.

Promoting the idea of Psychological Capital as an asset to be valued, managed and leveraged, Ms. Shull will present a revolutionary approach to trading and market psychology.

Denise K. Shull M.A. is a thought leader in market and trading psychology. Leveraging her understanding of neuroscience, she integrates academic findings into real world trading and risk decisions. A member of CME Group, Denise provokes her audiences to rethink their own approach to market and risk analysis. Fox Business, ABC News Now and The Discovery Channel have featured her insights. She has also written for Thomson Reuter’s Hedgeworld, AllAboutAlpha.Com and CME Magazine.
