    Third language?

    I was fairly sure it's Spanish for US. That's not even an option where I'm from (Romania, Eastern Europe) and I'm pretty sure it's the same all over Eastern Europe. Spaniards have virtually not ever been here culturally. On the other hand, we are or were in the near past neighboring Germany...

    Competition in this field - programming

    Getting rejected automatically AS A FIRST STEP IN A MULTILEVEL PROCESS, when you've got 10,000 applicants and your business model only accepts a few, might be acceptable... as long as it's acceptable to practice this sort of inhumane culling, but that's another talk. But not being able to make...

    Competition in this field - programming

    I already have a job, I mean with almost 20 years in the field of programming, this is pretty much self-understood. What I merely tried is to register on UpWork. I find it deeply upsetting that I got rejected and add insult to injury that ALL their fucking customer support system is completely...

    Third language?

    I'm bored so let's try something silly. Everyone's second language is now English, those who aren't natively English, of course. What about the third? I'm fairly sure school forces everyone to learn not just one but two foreign languages. What's your second foreign one? For English speakers...

    Competition in this field - programming

    I ranted some time ago that while looking for quant jobs on LinkedIn, I noticed an ordinary job post (no big name or big money mentioned) with 1048 applicants. What shocked me was that the job was posted just 17 hours previously. So getting ahead in this field has become a ruthless numbers game...

    Best option strategies to learn ....

    On another account, and speaking of it (the account), is it possible to nuke my account here? I've said a lot of shit after downing some beers, which I would like to keep private. Anyone knows of past occurrences here, politely ask the admin (and perhaps for a small charge), have my account...

    Best option strategies to learn ....

    Sometimes, though, I wonder. I'm struggling with stochastic integrals and partial differential equations and see shit like this making it to billion dollar valuation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_Shave_Club It doesn't make any sense. If this current stint of mine into the fine art of...

    Best option strategies to learn ....

    Thanks. Well, I DO hold a job, that's still under the making money category :) The "other" stuff I do on a side it's essentially a combination of hobby and playing the lottery. Odds of success are definitely similar to winning the lottery but if I stop doing this, what the heck am I gonna do...

    Best option strategies to learn ....

    This sounds right on a superficial view but then again, it's the 440 strike that's at 50% probability. The 445% one likely is two standard deviations away, thus 2%. Integrating (averaging), the whole strategy probably has far less than the 34% probability you're paying for it. But don't take my...

    Put Call not in parity

    But time to maturity is short and the interest rate is near zero. So e^(-r * T) is practically 1. Therefore S0 - K <= C - P <= S0 - K, thus C - P = S0 - K, holds exactly.

Myself being a Romanian developer with 20 years in the field, 10 as years quant developer doing options market making. I program for free but get to use the strategy too if profitable.

    Association proposal for options trading system

    I'm seriously considering relocating temporarily (a few years), while my family would stay here. I know they won't be ecstatic but looks like I hit an income cap here with the companies and jobs available. I still got some businesses on the pipeline though, in order of potential: one of my own...

    Association proposal for options trading system

    >> I long to create a 1% of the 1% for... EVERYONE. Realistically speaking if I could create 1% of the 1% just for me, I'd piss on your mother's throats, preferably while still alive ( http://factsanddetails.com/russia/History/sub9_1b/entry-4937.html : "He once let off a sequence of 74 curse...

    Association proposal for options trading system

    I long to create a 1% of the 1% for... EVERYONE. When I was a kiddo back in high school and the bullies there were beating me, I took up the courage to ask one of them: "why you do this, to me and others? weren't you at your own turn beaten when you was a kid like me?" And the answer was...

    Association proposal for options trading system

    I'm not 'a Romanian', I'm an 'elite Romanian'. Meaning: 1) I make a pretty good living here too, always did and probably ever will, so there's no hard incentive to try my luck in some other place. 2) Having a wife and kid who goes to school makes moving even more problematic. In case you...
