Henry Carstens has been playing with ideas, inventing, and building things ever since he watched his father write a story on a roll of paper towels and punctuate it with taped-on toys. He bought his first stock when he was 12 and built his first trading system in 1996.
Henry’s first trading system was an opening range breakout system based on counting compression and expansion in the OEX 100. Later, Henry entered a stock picking contest with Heating Oil, won, was disqualified (for picking heating oil in a stock picking contest : ), and met Dr. Victor Niederhoffer and Dr. Brett Steenbarger.
Henry works as an idea developer, quant, strategy developer, portfolio manager, and proprietary trader. He has strategy automations running at a Chicago firm, publishes a newsletter called The Trend Day Forecast that predicts tomorrow’s closing prices for equities and fixed income and trades his own accounts.
Henry has degrees in mathematics, economics and physics. Henry has a trading blog on verticalsolutions.com, a trading ideas blog on henrycarstens.com and a general ideas blog he has turned over to his children on crowdofideas.com. You can reach him at carstens@verticalsolutions.com
