Yeah, I felt the focus on OCaml was weird. And then the article ended... To be honest, to me it would seem they survived and succeeded in spite of sticking with a language few are using.

Infinite Sharpe ratio!

Same deal with cat toys really. Buy a robot mouse for the cat for $100, and the cat prefers to play with a toilet paper roll...

The past is a flat fact (probability 1) vs the future which has a range of potential outcomes (w/ a probability distribution). Similarly, you can therefore talk about a piece of the past as if it was a bull or bear market as a fact, but you can't talk about the future like that. The confusion...

Yeah Yeltsin "ruined Russia" (to the extent it wasn't already pathetically broken after Soviet rule) but you got to be careful with cause and effects beyond that statement. The economic reforms Yeltsin sought were brought about (with the help of elite US economists) in a very bad way that in the...

Isn't there a comparatively simple answer to that? Monetize the hedge when you exit the hedged position (or scale both down, proportionally). If a new hedge would be too expensive then keep a small position that doesn't need to be hedged. I.e. the active decision is to what extent to keep the...

This pattern is "easy" because it's hard to actually profit from it. Consider the options: Shorting. So you need to borrow shares and watch out for borrowing rate. Furthermore, the "apparent easy" slow money part is counteracted by potentially explosive multiple 100% (or historically...

Respect for holding through that kind of DD, I wouldn't manage it... Hope your 2022 will be better.

Kuwait? Attaching a mildly outdated chart that I saw today that might guide you on a further search.

Depends. ESMA here in the EU enforces CFD providers to provide protection against negative account balances. Then AFAIK UK residents have tax reasons although I haven't needed to remember the details. Add that to say e.g. IG have a quite wide range of tradable stuff on a semi-decent platform and...

Don't think it's an unreasonable guess that soon ARKK will be on par with Nasdaq 100 since inception minus expenses.

Learn from this and be smarter next time. $190 sucks but it's not the end of the world. Report to him to whatever cyber crime unit seems most applicable given his location, but your money is most likely irrecoverable. There's never any point for paying for "bots", "algos", etc. until you've...

I've been speculating it's some kind of "activity increaser" sanctioned by Baron (if you check member list over most active users, it's a reminder that this forum doesn't have a huge following compared to say certain Reddits). Mostly because I pointed it out to (tagged) Baron and my comment was...

Yeah I have an old IB account with weird currency balances around as well. I've simply ignored it for a few years, intend to deal with it at some point if returning to use IB again.

This is true to a large extent. Another way of saying it is, everyone gets what they want out of their backtest, whether that is to show something that does not exist or show that something does not exist (note the subtle but massive difference). If you want an overfit pile of crap for ego...

Funding him would have to be an ongoing effort after he blows account by account.

What's your average leverage applied on this (position size sum / account size)? I guess you scale it dynamically as well?

You will fit right in padu

I've also been skeptic for similar reasons although former tech colleagues have been trying to push me into the sector since they follow Facebook without doing much more than first level thinking, "FB must know what's up!". Also, who the hell wants to live in Zuckerberg's VR world? The gullible...
