Eric Novik

Introduction: I am a private derivatives trader interested in statistical analysis of financial time series for strategy formulation and risk management.
The Wilmott Forums, Quantnet.org and Nuclearphynance are great online financial engineering communities. The purpose of this group specifically is to encourage active group participation. Have you RSVP'd yet YES/NO/MAYBE for our next event?: I will be traveling for the next few weeks, but I am interested in attending future events.
The main purpose of this group is for local NY/NJ Quants and Quant wannabe's to meet in person or discuss on the message board. Would you be interested in actively participating on the Message Boards or meeting in person?: Sure
What is your professional background ? What was/is your careerpath to QF ?: Computer Science, Statistics, and Business. I am private trader, so the analysis I do is strictly for myself.
What is your interest in QF ? Why are you drawn to it ?: It gives me a benchmark against which I can evaluate alternatives, but a model is only a model ;)
What do you hope this group will do for you?: Introduce me to new/better methods for financial data analysis
