    Bitcoin Price Thread

    In the certain circles of the cryptocurrency community, there is a belief that the Bitcoin market has its roots in early Christianity, and is documented in the scripture as an incident when two disciples of Jesus, Peter and Judas, were the counter-parties in a market transaction worth of 30...

    ES Journal - 2017/2018

    ES approaching 2530, which I think was the overnight low set on Sun/Mon. If we bounce up from there, that would be a classic double bottom. If we fall through, I have no clue what will happen next. Either way, I think that's an important ES level.

    ES Journal - 2017/2018

    I believe the ES circuit breaker is 5%, which would be triggered at around 2476, I think. So, your stop is larger than 100 ES points?

    Bid-ask spread

    I understand what you are trying to say, but you communicate it in such a cryptic way that your message is lost. What "zero working" and "infinity" mean in this context? You just invented some new linguistic terms and plugged them in without any reference.

    Bid-ask spread

    The proposed new subject, "Bid-ask spread in recruiters" still does not make any sense. Following the OP's venting, I suppose the appropriate subject would be "Why are top investment banks not using top recruiters?".

    Bid-ask spread

    It appears that the OP was trying to tell the following story. While being interviewed for a quant position at an investment bank, he was asked to write a program to count the palindromes in a given word. The night before, the OP did not sleep well, and on the day of the interview, he felt...

    Fundseeder - my experience

    I agree with penalizing the negative skewness, but the penalty for the high kurtosis is debatable. The FundSeeder's definition of kurtosis is wrong. Here is what it says: Kurtosis is a measure of peakedness (or flatness). And here is what Wikipedia says: Kurtosis measures outliers only; it...

    Fundseeder - my experience

    Yep, my account jumped from #33 to #16 in one day last Friday, and all I had was a very small gain on that day. So, it does appear that many of the top FS accounts have a high correlation with the S&P 500 index.

    How to be a millionaire?

    Options (OTM calls on the broad market index, speciffically) would probably be the most straightforward instrument to use.

    Profit Factor

    The win/loss percentage doesn't mean anything when evaluated in isolation. Consider two trading systems A, and B, with 3 returns each: A: {+1%, +1%, -10%} B: {-1%, -1%, +10%} Notice that system A has a better win/loss percentage than system B, but clearly, system B beats system A by a mile...
