Here's my comment on the lowlife scum "contracting" as recruiters in the Western corporate melting pool: You need to correctly visualize who the recruiters are and where are they placed in the social hierarchy. If a company's social structure is described by the Gervais pyramid (...

By the way, I bought this just to have some starting point talking to Western recruiters who dismissed my 20 years of experience, GitHub account, mathematically proven trading strategy I'll be selling as investment advisor, with a link to a pre-screening IQ test which I flunked obviously, barely...

Well I'm sorry for not being dirt-poor to start with, but only decently-poor. My grandparents on both sides of the family (mother and father) would be classified as Kulaks ( peasants who owned over 8 acres (3.2 hectares) of land - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulak ). They still had to hard...

Well several months have passed and my boredom level risen enough that I succumbed to the mermaid call of another recruiter, coincidentally hiring for the very same position described here. In summary they were asking me to do 4x the workload / effort I currently do while paying *less* than I...

Thanks. Created the LLC as well and now I must follow the process to get it approved for NACE code 6619 (Other activities auxiliary to financial services, except insurance and pension funding). That's €20,000 in capital, the certification from the exam I just passed and a ton of further...

Wonder what his momma has to say about this.

This one's so cool, I must post it here:

I would have posted this on "Ask Hacker News" but I always get banned there the second after I post some deep thoughts (or torments). So if and when I become a billionaire (see my "Got approved" thread), I will need to take special care of Elite Trader in that it's rewarded for holding out as a...

For registered investment advisor in a certain Eastern European country member of the European Union. Exam wasn't all that hard but not easy either - nevertheless I count on ESMA holding their part of the bargain and me being approved consequently for the whole EU. I see billions in the...

As a general rule, the budget is NEGATIVE in these cases. Not only you aren't getting paid but you're offered the "chance" to waste some of your own time working on some idiotic idea.

Want complex math? Here's a "simple" introduction to it: Tomas Björk - Arbitrage Theory in Continuous Time. You can get the other way into complicated territory till you drown yourself and achieve nothing. No way you are having an edge, you do not have an edge, never edged, never had an edge...

I was born, raised and continue to live in a former Communist country. The Communists has a very efficient way to deal with the recalcitrants. Put them into an insane asylum. Communism is perfect, hence to contest it's perfection equates to insanity. What's yer thoughts on this?

Uhh ohh, our "old friend" with the "fair puts" brilliant idea strikes again with an even brighter one. If we're at it, why not have option-less options? So something that's sort of like an option but instead of having a maturity and a strike, how bout have none of them? Maybe calling them ...

Well sorry if I offended you, it wasn't my intention. Mind though, finding an edge is next to impossible, which is not to say an edge is a prerequisite to making money - plenty of successful examples otherwise. Perhaps the real genius is making money with no edge. Like no way they're providing...

Alright, let's discuss the trading aspects then. Someone claims they have a valuable strategy. It's simple to evaluate a strategy: does it have an edge or not? All the jibberjabber about a billion parameters and trader intuition and sentimental analysis is just dust in the eye to cover the fact...

See attachment. It's not just me, it objectively looks bad.

Guy has the weirdest profile: registered in ... 2007, has ONE POST in ... 2007 and absolutely nothing, nada, zero, since. Then all of a sudden another post 14 years later (FOURTEEN F****G YEARS!!). Advertises turning $500 into $40,000 in a month. I've seen weird but this is cuckoo.

I suppose you mean wings with BID prices, so someone's buying at that price (vol). Because ASK price can be any ridiculously high amount but if there's no bid as well, it doesn't seem very reliable to me.

You seem to use a lot of heuristics / back of the napkin calculations, I'd simply use a market model which considers the vol of vol, like the Heston model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heston_model Then you don't have to reinvent the wheel since you already have a pricing formula, so you can...
