STOCKS & COMMODITIES Editor Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan interviewed Guy Cohen via telephone and email on January 8, 2014 on ways to keep abreast with market momentum, mistakes traders make, and how he uses data.
Guy, please tell us a little about yourself and what attracted you to the financial markets. How did you get interested in them?
I was always interested in the financial markets, even as a teenager. From a professional standpoint, I got into finance while I was specializing in commercial real estate in London. My original idea and plan was to combine my commercial real estate training with finance in order to become a property developer.
I completed my City exams in London, which is the equivalent of the tests a person must take in the US to work on Wall Street, and then I got an MBA in finance at Cass Business School, where I took the options elective. From that point, I started developing software for my own option trading. At the time, option-trading software was somewhat primitive and didn’t do what I needed, so I started building my own software application, and then was compelled to keep going.
