"Algorithmic trading has the potential to level the playing field for individual investors, enabling them to compete with large institutional players on equal terms."
"The beauty of algorithmic trading is that it removes human emotions from the equation, allowing for objective decision-making based on data and market patterns."
"Algorithmic trading is like having a team of tireless, disciplined traders working for you around the clock, always ready to capitalize on market opportunities."
"With algorithmic trading, we can uncover patterns and exploit market inefficiencies that would be impossible for human traders to detect."

Who Is Lisa Chen?
Prime example of high performance and precision.
Lisa’s journey is one of diverse passions and entrepreneurial spirit.
From excelling in classical dance and piano to her obsession with sports cars, she found her calling in finance. At 21, armed with licenses obtained through the Canadian Securities Institute, she executed trades for stocks, options, bonds, mutual funds, and fixed income securities on behalf of clients at a Canadian national brokerage firm for the next four years.
During this time, she discovered her love for auto racing and quickly achieved impressive results, with multiple top-three finishes out of 80 competitors in her rookie year and going on to achieve dozens of podium finishes across North America in autocross before transitioning into road course racing.
Exhibiting her entrepreneurial skill, Lisa helped transform a modest two-person startup into the largest supplier in Canada’s sign and graphics industry, with offices in Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary. This achievement secured her a runner-up position in the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® award. After her company was acquired and a brief retirement, her enduring passion for trading drove her to achieve a Top 5 ranking in the 2021 World Cup Championship®, earning her a place among the esteemed 13 World Cup Advisors®. Whether it’s mastering the fine arts or in auto races, Lisa consistently raises the bar and surpasses it.
Now with her team at LCT of dedicated Quantitative Strategists, she is now focused on in-house trading the most reliable strategies identified by their Quant Portfolio Intelligence platform.
