Mohieddine Kronfol serves as Daily Trades' Head of Quantitative Trading, bringing a strongly analytical and data-driven perspective to the firm's quantitative research and systematic trading initiatives. Prior to joining Daily Trades, Mohieddine developed his professional experience at Franklin Templeton Investments (ME) Limited, where he gained exposure to quantitative analysis, market data evaluation, and structured approaches to understanding financial market behaviour. His professional background has contributed to his ability to examine complex datasets and translate analytical observations into clearly defined research and trading frameworks.

At Daily Trades, Mohieddine leads quantitative research initiatives focused on the development, evaluation, and ongoing refinement of systematic methodologies. His work incorporates statistical analysis, historical market research, signal evaluation, performance measurement, and model validation. Mohieddine and his team examine a range of quantitative factors, including historical behaviour, market relationships, volatility characteristics, correlation dynamics, and the consistency of observed signals across different market environments.

A key component of Mohieddine's approach is the rigorous evaluation of methodology before implementation. This includes historical backtesting, robustness testing, sensitivity analysis, out-of-sample evaluation, performance attribution, and ongoing monitoring of model behaviour. Particular attention is given to understanding the limitations of historical data and avoiding excessive reliance on results that may not remain consistent under changing market conditions. Risk-adjusted metrics, drawdown characteristics, distribution analysis, and exposure considerations form important components of the wider evaluation process.

As Head of Quantitative Trading, Mohieddine also contributes to the development of research infrastructure and analytical processes designed to support disciplined decision-making. His work involves continuously reviewing quantitative models and assessing whether established assumptions remain appropriate as market conditions evolve. Through structured research, systematic testing, and careful performance evaluation, he helps maintain a strong analytical foundation for Daily Trades' quantitative trading activities.

Mohieddine's leadership reflects Daily Trades' emphasis on data integrity, methodological discipline, model governance, and continuous improvement. His role combines quantitative research with practical market awareness, ensuring that analytical methodologies are assessed not only for historical performance but also for their robustness, consistency, and relevance within changing market environments.

Michael Leibowitz serves as Daily Trades' Lead Trader and brings a disciplined, market-focused perspective to the firm's broader trading operations. Prior to joining Daily Trades, Michael developed his professional trading experience at Tradition Dubai Limited, where he gained exposure to the demands of active market analysis, trade evaluation, execution processes, and structured risk management. His experience has helped shape a methodology centred on preparation, consistency, disciplined decision-making, and the ability to evaluate changing market conditions without relying solely on short-term market movements.

In his role as Lead Trader at Daily Trades, Michael provides trading oversight and contributes to the evaluation of market opportunities across relevant instruments and conditions. His responsibilities include monitoring market structure, assessing liquidity and volatility, reviewing potential trade scenarios, and supporting the maintenance of disciplined execution processes. Michael places significant emphasis on understanding the broader context surrounding individual trading decisions, including market momentum, price behaviour, technical levels, volatility regimes, and the potential influence of wider market developments.

Michael's trading philosophy incorporates a strong focus on risk management and capital preservation. He recognises the importance of position sizing, exposure control, predefined risk parameters, trade expectancy, and the continuous evaluation of risk-reward dynamics. Rather than approaching trading as a series of isolated decisions, his methodology considers the cumulative impact of positions and the importance of maintaining consistency across different market environments.

As part of his leadership responsibilities, Michael contributes to performance reviews and the ongoing refinement of trading processes. This involves analysing execution quality, reviewing decision-making frameworks, identifying areas for improvement, and encouraging a structured approach to market participation.
