Dave Davis II
@davedavisii
I build systematic futures trading, research, and data automation solutions that improve performance and execution.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
I've spent 16 years at Eclipse Capital Management building and managing systematic futures trading, research, and data operations across global markets.
As Global Trading Manager, I managed 24-hour trading functions, performance and risk monitoring, clearing-bank relationships, and brokerage flow. I introduced basis trading that reduced trading costs by 20% and helped transition the firm to algorithmic execution.
I automated data collection and distribution, reducing errors by 80% and completion time by 50%, and built parallel backtesting systems that increased testing output by 1000%. I also used TradeStation, EasyLanguage, C#, SQL, Python, Excel VBA, Bloomberg, and proprietary tools to test strategies and improve research workflows.
Earlier, I led research on Chinese futures and global market inclusion, supported Bloomberg EMSX execution, wrote investor and industry research, and developed tools for market data and real-time performance tracking. I'm a CFA charterholder who thrives on deep analysis, technical advances, collaborative problem-solving, and data-driven growth.
