Steven Tan

Steven Tan is the Head of Data and co-founder of Hoc-Trade. He leads the design of the behavioral detection algorithms that power TradeMedic, oversees the data pipeline that ingests and analyzes trading history from 500,000+ retail accounts, and directs the statistical methodology behind TradeMedic Research's published findings.

Steven brings a deep academic and practitioner background in behavioral finance. He holds a Bachelor in Mathematics and a Master in Economics and Finance, and pursued doctoral research at IESE Business School focused on behavioral finance and network theory.

Before Hoc-Trade, Steven worked in high-frequency trading and market making at a cryptocurrency exchange, where he built execution infrastructure, microstructure models, and risk controls for automated trading at scale. This combination of academic depth and production trading experience shapes how TradeMedic's algorithms are designed: research-grade rigor translated into infrastructure that runs against real trader accounts daily.

At Hoc-Trade, Steven works most closely with the data and backend engineering teams, and collaborates with Jonas Schleypen (CEO) on research methodology and the transparency of published findings.
