    How to reduce a loss

    You may not like this answer but there's absolutely nothing you can do. Negating a loss is in finance what a perpetuum mobile is for physics: a pipe dream and physical impossibility. If you adhere to the quantitative theory in finance then expected value of a stock price at any moment in the...

    Yes. If I can emphasize I'd also wanna point out that although I'm a clear loser at this point. There's quadrillions in what "losing" means beyond this point.

    M1 Garand

    There was not much to simulate this game with for a gun, you could do it with bare hands or a leaf if you wanted. But somehow the guys who got the cooolest toy guns tended to win. How do you explain this mo**ers? Technically it shouldn't matter. A leaf from a tree as a toy "gun" would do the...

    M1 Garand

    It's for my kiddo. When we wuz kids we used to play a game which amounts more or less to airsoft contest now. The moment you seen, the moment you dead. Yeah, not fair since it depends on the shooter, accuracy, time to be seen. WHAT EVER. On an average if you're seen you're dead. So it didn't...

    I wanna buy this thing. It's legal in my country, albeit very very expensive. Thoughts? https://www.denix.es/en/catalogue/world-war-i-ii-1914-1945/rifles-carbines/1105/

    Looking for a partner

    I know what you say and mostly agree. On #2, I'd mostly ask corporate to sell. But I'm Romanian and we have a saying which translates to "stealing your own hat". In making money there's these options: 1) Steal someone's hat. You win. 2) Have your hat stolen. You lose. What I propose...

    Looking for a partner

    Monetization path for this partenership: 1) Our own money. World is cruel and unfair and will take advantage of you one day crushing you next day without the least of a moral guilt trip. So whatever I do was, is and will still be applicable to my own capital. 2) Selling to corporate. It's...

    Looking for a partner

    I wanna make money from trading options and since I already invested some 15 years into this already, it's gonna be this or nothing at all. At this point I have some promising trading strategies but I wanna debunk them with a partener before proceeding to the next step. Actually I have: -...

    Open source options software

    At some point I was thinking in open sourcing my options strategy backtester but eventually I grew smarter and realized there's absolutely no upside in doing that.

    Risk-Neutral Probabilitiy: Intuitive explanation?

    Sweet mother of Jesus that's a lot of words for "intuitive". Actually the math behind risk neutral is very simple. The purpose is to replicate the price of an option by trading in the underlier. So you can make money by buying cheap replica and selling expensive option. Or vice versa. And thing...

    Here's the proof that Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) is WRONG

    Apparently Black & Scholes got the Nobel for the ingenious way to completely remove the risk (growth rate) from an option price by means of delta hedging. Mathematically it's a very clever thing indeed. And used to work good enough, in the 2000s my employer was making good money with it. But...

    Beginner question on call options

    Well if you stick to the letter then it's definitely not infinite. But any option trades at a price which is very very close to it's expected value over a large number of expiration cycles. If the stock is $100, a 1 month option (either call or put) would trade at about $2 (assuming a volatility...

    Does / did anyone buy trading strategies?

    There's a(nother) strategy that I'm currently testing and gives good results in backtests. A problem with backtests is that you're wondering: is the data real or just a sampling error? So I implemented it on live data.. so far it holds to some degree. In backtests I scan over 1000 stocks, in...
