Thread from 2016, good thing you don't quote what I said in kindergarden.

In a few weeks I should have some test results. I'm not killing myself (to implement the stuff faster) since I also have a job and by experience, most attempts at trading strategies fail anyways.

Actually the reason for "incoherent posts" it's not ADHD but alcohol, I rarely post when not inebriated, don't find enough motivation otherwise. I know proper term "exotic options" means what you said and I'm not interested in those at the moment. Volatility as underlying though seems pretty...

I'm talking about VIX options.

Thakns. It's derivatives of derivatives.

1953. Could you have done it? He kept a Tommy gun close, always.

@Fx-Game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary Around 1915, Romania had enough either land or naval power to obliterate anyone opposing it, at least nearby. What followed could and can only happen in a democracy. We lost it all.

I've jumped ship so far to know that unless I actually try to save the next ship then I'm gonna have to jump it too. And the one I work on with currently is listed on New York stock exchange, gives us all the benefits a software developer could think of, and the process from fantasy in the...

The way the world is structured at the moment rewards: 1) Lucky funks. 2) Slackers. If I'm one of #2 who embarked on a lifetime of pain to try reach #1 and didn't quite reach it, then I'm #2. Worst of both worlds, I'm too far away from #2 to mingle with it anymore but still no #1. So what I'm...

>> First of all: How liquid is the product? Very liquid. >> Is it listed, is it traded OTC, which jurisdiction? It's listed and exchange-traded. >> Is there a minimum capital requirement to trade it? Definitely. I started my journey into finance on Japan's Nikkei225 and it takes 1000x...

Not into FX, sorry. I did for almost a year research a thing for a German guy, former trader in Amsterdam, on some FX arbitrage issue. Pushed to the limits maybe it could provide two guys with a living income for a few years. But I already have a living income for a few years. I'm interested in...

Btw, I may or may not get my PhD in math at the Bolyai-Babes university. Bolyai ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A1nos_Bolyai ) might have been one of the early guys who noticed calculus (differential equations) and algebra (probabilities) overlap to a significant degree. He (yes, Hungary...

Small research team for trading an exotic option product Could make some billions per year, btw. So I'm freaking all by my self now trying to solve some excruciatingly complicated equations which means there's noone by myself to ask wtf is wrong when something is wrong, and it's definitely...

I like the Warren Buffet example.

The idea with my website is to provide curated marketdata but I haven't worked in that direction much, instead concentrated on a few underliers that have reliable data and I'm interested in. I'll give you directly the address of the guys I get my data from. As I may have already said on this...

There was this SciFi story I read as a kid which wasn't simply possible. Jeff1228, 17 posts, 2 likes, eventually beating Goldman Sachs and Black Rock to their own game. And if you like SciFi stories like me you realize: 1) It's impossible. 2) You are like me. 3) It's entirely possible. A joke...

They have a thing called "saving the face". Translated to Latin it means being "polite". I may blow off some gaskets while among "friends" as on this site but I'm really really uncomfortable when someone does this at work. First and easiest reaction is to have them fired. As I've been banned...

When applying for jobs, I think the following: Would the Bill Jobs of today, solely on technical knowledge, pass an interview with an ignorant smug who not only thinks all he knows is all there is, but has the power of life and death upon you with the little shitty piece of universe he knows...

Definitely. I've tested estimatively 100s strategies. And by that I don't mean literally option combinations like say "iron condors", which are useless without a model behind them which tells you that you are right and the market price is wrong. I mean the models (indicators) behind those...
