Hedge funds and the like are not covered up the regulations governing retail clients and tradable products though. that was bascially my job, I would produce a new idea every monday, every investment bank was the same back then. The more complex you make it the more potential payoff you could...

I was an exotics derivative structurer for 15+ years (IR, hybrids, credit). Trust me you have nothing new (by the fact you mention BSM, Prehistoric in terms on how derivative traders value financial instruments.) Banks don't give away their models and the one's in J Hull are long dated, in fact...

all trainers say that though, "anyone can learn to trade, just pay me $3000 first and I'll tell you how, but lets not get focused up in minor details like audited accounts" "Live trading? Sure" You can see my screen but naturally i can't show you P&L, open position list but you can listen to...
