Key is to burn the plastic at a high temperature that destroy the dioxins. I belive they inject oil into the chamber if needed to keep the temperature above an certain level. Burning plastic in open-air is very bad.

Construct an power plant and burn it to make electricity through steam turbines. Here in Sweden we import garbage from all of Europe to burn it. The Indians could learn from us and do the same to get rid of their plastic waste.

No. Mentors are pretty meaningless as everyones style of trading is unique and is tailor made for them and their personality. Some who are an introvert may have one particular style that fits them very well. That style will not work well for someone who is an extrovert. Same for people with...

Was thinking about exactly this the other day as I live pretty north and it may get as low as -22F some days and -4F for multiple weeks. If one could rent/lease miners for the seven months needed. My issue was how to deal with the noise. The miners are pretty noisy and not something you want in...

Is is fake artificial demand by speculators or is it real demand by builders of wooden houses.

High IV meme stocks? lot's price volatility in intraday price and gamma in the weekly's.

Mechanical trading is the same as "rulebased trading" is the same as "systematic trading" is the same as "algorithmic trading". Algorithmic trading and automated trading is not same thing. This is a big misconcetion, I see a lot of people wrongly belive that algorithmic trading got to be...

Would park it in an short term interest yield ETF at 2-3% annualized and use that as Portfolio Margin collateral for short strangles on S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100 at 8% annualized. Then they call, I would say, "yes, ma'am, I will deliver the cash at date X in 1/2 weeks". Until they call I would be...

You got problem reading. For on-chain payments that is. Lightning Network is for everything else. Western Union and other such services is very expensive. Transfer costs are above 0.50%, which is an insanely high fee for an transaction.

Bitcoin itself is for larger purchases, lets say $10k and up. If you are purchasing real estate, car, motorcycle, motorboat, yacht, sailboat, art, etc. it will work fine. Bitcoin Lightning Network is close to production ready. Instant transactions and fee's a lot lower than...

Personally I compare absolute eq return of underlying instrument to the absolute eq return of the trading activity in the same instrument for my selected time period. I do like to isolate the alpha component and plot it.

Speaking the truth. If one got a source of verified real Alpha you will have all the money you need. If someone say they got Alpha/edge but got no money they are either lying, a fool or have mistaken themself.

One should know it. Be aware that it may be "optimized/tuned" by choosing different risk parameters.

Asking for Sharpe or Sortino is pretty useless. Because it depends on the risk mandate. How large annualized MDD you are willing to commit to is flexible, it can go all from 0% to 100%. If you risk 5% of eq your sharpe, returns, etc will be one number. If you risk 10% of eq it will be a...
