Mark You Jun Chia

Hi, welcome to my website.

I am currently pursuing a Master's in Financial Engineering at UCLA Anderson MFE Class of 2026. My academic journey began at the University of Edinburgh in Medicine, where I completed a Bachelor's degree in Health Sciences before withdrawing from medical school.

I have traded with real capital using statistical arbitrage strategies.  In addition, I have hands-on trading experience through the Topstep Trading Combine, where I applied price action analysis to live market conditions. 

Currently, I am working on a project applying non-parametric kernel regression to financial data, with the aim of quantifying subjective day trading patterns and uncovering nonlinear relationships that traditional models may overlook.
