My Matlab Expo 2016 keynote presentation (32:45)I will be presenting in two upcoming Matlab conferences:
- April 5, 2016 – Tel Aviv, Israel – Matlab Data Analytics [3]
- May 10, 2016 – Munich, Germany – Matlab Expo keynote [5] (presentation slides [6], presentation video [2])
In both cases I will present a professional pairs-trading and analysis application (“Pairformax”) that I developed for use by a New York hedge fund. This application analyzes large amounts of data relatively quickly, and presents the results in a professional-grade GUI. My aim is to use this example to show that contrary to a widespread mis-conception, professional Matlab programs can be created without sacrificing performance (speed) or appearance. Coupled with Matlab’s recognized benefits (rapid app development and off-the-shelf functionality), Matlab is certainly relevant for serious user-facing applications, not just for prototyping and internal organizational use.
My presentations will be focused on the technical Matlab aspects, not the specific financial functionality of the program. I am targeting the presentations at anyone who designs and creates Matlab programs, not just in the financial fields. I will discuss some of the technical challenges encountered during the development, and a few simple techniques that can be very effective for improving run-time performance and visualization quality.
If you are in the area and wish to meet me to discuss how I could bring value to your work, then please email me (altmany at gmail [7]) to coordinate a meeting. We could meet either at the conferences, or in a dedicated (private) meeting.
Below are screenshots from the 2016 presentations. The program was improved since then – see updated screenshots [8].

Any chance you’ll have a recording of the [English] presentation Yair?

@Scott – in [17] there were video recordings of several presentations, so there’s a fair chance that my upcoming presentation will be recorded. However, I do not know whether this will in fact happen. If it will, then I will be sure to update this post with the relevant link.

@Scott – while I still do not know regarding the recording, you can already see the [18] (English PDF). Enjoy!
