    Will the Winkelvii get Zucked again?

    Why does the western world and especially the US always think it is the center of attention? Have you even read the whitepaper and Zucks press releases?? It's clearly stated that they target the emerging markets. 1.7 billion people worldwide do not have access to a bank account. It costs 6%+ on...

    Crypto exchanges usually do not make markets for their clients, some do, but they arr the exception. Liquidity provision is usually managed by 3rd party trading firms like B2C2 et. al. And what do you mean by hedging exposure? Exposure to what?

    How does one build an educational trading business

    unfortunately that's not how stuff works. When you have no idea about trading you have no idea about trading. How would you be able to judge weither the information you see in terms of strategy is useful? Also, there is no single reason to watch a trader. You learn as much from watching a...

    How does one build an educational trading business

    that's how 90% of trading education works: reeling in people by using unverifyable information and targeting their achilles heel aka. their shitty life they want to get away from.

    How does one build an educational trading business

    @ultimatesuccess01: Look dude, there is another thing you have to consider: The extreme difference between expectation and reality. Tjere is just no way that a customer walks out of your course and is able to make a profit. It's just like professional sports...just because the coach teaches you...

    Ridiculous Results Given by Genetic Optimizer

    what @nooby_mcnoob said: learn python. There are so many libraries for backtesting, charting and financial modelling that you find something for your needs. Start out with the Anaconda distribution and with Jupyter notebooks. Python is really easy to get started with, even easier as some...

    Ridiculous Results Given by Genetic Optimizer

    I don't know if this is still relevant but I stopped using NT a long time ago due to the fact that the way it's database is set up, it is nearly impossible got get reliable backtests. This "Optimizer" might just be an overfitting algo, so I wouldn't rely on it anyways. But just to put your own...

    Post Your Bitter Day Trading Lessons Here!

    Well...how should I put it? They way you approach this "adventure" is like sitting down at a 1/2 cash game table with 100$ You can't play postflop, you can't raise or 3bet preflop...all you can do is wait for QQ+, ATs+ or AQo+ and either shove pre or hope you can limp from the button or get a...

    Size is edge?

    It's been a free for all for a long time but now competition is too fierce for my taste. It's actually quite ridiculous how many financial products are out there. I feel like the average retailer only sees about 5% of it. If you really want to go crazy, look over to the German warrants, bearer...

    Size is edge?

    Actually there are a lot of structured products out there that you can trade vs. OTC dealers especially in the FX world. You need to setup credit lines for yourself and you need software to trade it. As you trade against the dealers inventory, there are often mispricings because his inventory...

    Size is edge?

    you know dude, just stop trying to read between the lines. I'm not trying to make up or confirm conspiracy theories. And nobody here talks about manipulating the market, that's just BS anyways. I make markets in 3 products and trade a structured portfolio in others. The advantage you get when...

    Size is edge?

    Well, I guess you just didn't get what I was saying. The trader you describe here is not the market, he's a big customer aka paper. Paper is the reason this industry is alive because most paper is dumb money, which is ok because their customers are even bigger idiots. I am refering to making an...

    Size is edge?

    well, I would actually like to disagree with this article but unfortunately he is correct in a number of points. While his reasoning is a bit odd, he describes basic principles that every aspiring trader should acknowledge: 1. Size is king 2. When you are the market, you make the price In...

    Quant Trade - input wanted

    stop the rambling and google quanto futures... hint: it's not linear and even if it was, the BTC long hedge isn't free either. So you're just another guy trying to cash in on the funding...but there is no free lunch

    Quant Trade - input wanted

    Jokes aside, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. No matter weither you're trying to arb the funding or do some sort of spread trade, just don't. This stuff is not simple, you're dealing with two dimensions of risk within a single product. If you have to ask this stuff on a...

    Quant Trade - input wanted

    ok dude, first of all stop the quant BS if you don't know what a quantO futures is, how it's priced and how it behaves. second, if you don't have an idea about how the trade behaves, don't trade it and journal the market over a couple of weeks to find out. Don't just go on a forum and rely on...
