031: Luke Cummings – Low-correlation equities trading; how to avoid being tied to the market

This week I spoke with Luke Cummings, an Australian equities trader with 14 plus years of experience on his side.

After making a last minute decision that journalism wasn’t a good fit, Luke went into a finance degree which lead him to become a stockbroker, which then lead him to become a trader.

Now days Luke remains an active trader, and operates a hedge fund based in Sydney, as well as running The Long And Short Of It – a model portfolio service and trading blog.

We keep things fresh in this interview, by discussing trading methods and strategies that haven’t been spoken about in previous episodes. And additionally, Luke shares some of the common traps that often catch entry-level traders, and how you may be able to avoid the avoidable with insight.

Enjoy team!
