    Econometrics and practice

    I stopped believing in market cycles a long time ago. It's not about believing, it's about showing some hard, statistically significant figures. in the end you must trust your prediction and play it or admit...YOU DON'T KNOW! React, adapt, rather than predict - key rule in trading...

    Econometrics and practice

    "I have been struck recently by the disconnect between the worldview expressed by these economic and finance papers, and the view that I was seeing by standing on trading floors and talking with investment professionals" I have a similar impression. They're using entirely different languages...

    I've posted similar questions on Wilmott forum, but I didn't get what I wanted. Maybe ET'ers will know more. Do you know of any trading system (excl. arbitrage) and it's historical hypothetical or real performance on most popular markets (futures, stocks, forex; in 1-30 min. intervals) based...

    Hedge Fund Jobs??

    Zero hits in google for the phrase "portfolio optimization with stochastic adjustment". Why they don't ask for something easier like "constrained recursive kernel density and regression estimation by stochastic gradient method" :D
