    Closed study group for options trading

    Well sort of, but incremental changes can be "revolutionary". I'm thinking just of this example: Heroes of Might and Magic 3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_III It's an incremental improvement over Heroes of Might and Magic 2 (and much better experience than it's...

    If sounding pretentious is because I am. You need to beat COVID-type of menaces if you're going to be worth your penny. That's well beyond arithmethic, not that arithmethic is wrong, only it's something you do 30 years before even standing a chance at COVID-type of menaces.

    Do you teach "Four Derivations of the Black-Scholes Formula" there? Do you understand this paper there even if you don't teach it? https://frouah.com/finance%20notes/Black%20Scholes%20Formula.pdf I'd bet a full month's salary ($5000) on the fact that you don't. From arithmetic (started by me...

    Speaking of video games, I've got a highly innovative idea that requires some 1 week of effort on my side for a proof of principle implementation. A month for polishing it and getting to production level. Then try to sell the thing on Android market for like $2.99 / piece for great...

    Closed study group for options trading

    This is an iteration of the ideas I tried so far. After considerable experience working with options, it's increasingly obvious to me that the domain is extremely competitive. I would compare it to video games. There's a huge difference between doing a video game (trading options) for business...

    NATO

    That was one side of my family, the one I know most things about. The other one stopped the German Panzers right when they signed the deal with Hungary. The records, if my aunt doesn't burn them, hope point towards an optimal progression towards European Union. They were supposed to kill...

    >> So much of the good old memories about those days. On the side of my mother, grandpa told me a story. He and his brother were trying to make a business selling pigs but it was hard due to all that competition. Grandpa told me a story how he managed to go 40km without being robbed to my...

    Man. You an admin or something? Thread's in options precisely because you have options. There's free options and the sort of 88 anti aircraft gun from WW2 options that the mujahedines used to shut down Russian helicopters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.8_cm_Flak_18/36/37/41

    Noticing that is like noticing religion is obsolete. So what next? Anywayza, racism and xenophobia within NATO is an established fact and to be different would be uttermost surprising giving the hiring base. I'm: - White caucasian. - Former Soviet Union extended member. Eastern Europe was...

    You know why big names hire rookies? Coze they aren't depressed. I'm a veteran.

    The guy / company I buy the data from, to my knowledge is only offering the data. Using it, writing the tools / software to use it, is up to the client. And even for an experienced quant developer like me (developer since 20 years, worked as an options quant about 10), writing this software is...

    Replied on a private thread. Reason is I don't wanna badmouth them, since they're affordable. Plus the data is mostly OK and with some curation (ideally automatic, worst case manually), it's definitely usable. I'm just saying it's not perfect. Heck knows how data from such as Reuters or...

    I think of option trading as mining gold and my software as a tool for mining gold. It's like those documentaries along https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aussie_Gold_Hunters , I admit watching them sometimes when I'm bored and surfing TV channels. In the days of the California gold rush, or the...
