I'm new to the site. Who are the "real deal" handles here?

This is precisely the question I am seeking to answer, except a portion of it. It's exceedingly hard these days to find talent to allocate to that truly have consistent positive expectancy and generate alpha. Just trying to find diamonds in the rough using creative methods to source talent. One can no longer give Citadel, Millennium, Verition, etc. etc. any money. The best Managers in the world are closed to outside capital now.

If that person is a talent, that person will prefer to work alone and make his own money and will not be interested in any money given to him because he can make his own.

Rare birds are not to be caged. I am sure you know that?

I'm not looking to learn how to trade through any paid mentor. I was a trader for one of the most successful Firms in history but that style of trading is long gone back in the 1990s. I want to be Julian Robertson and find the next Chase Coleman. Not an easy task.

Why don't you develop a new style of trading and become the next Chase Coleman yourself? There, just saved you $1 billion. LOL

Thank you, BMK. This guys knows what he's talking about in options. I have volatility arbitrage guys and US stocks are so picked over by the smartest robots in the world. I wish I could find someone like this who plays in a softer playing field like liquid but esoteric options like Cheddar Cheese or whatever. Maybe in Asia too there is more juice. It's hard to beat SIG and other players like that in US listed options but I'm going to read his threads fully. Thanks for the heads up on this guy

You need to be careful about the Asian market. They have different rules and understandings of the concept of "transparency" and the practice of having it. In China, companies give shares as collateral for the debts that they issue. So I cannot imagine how the options can be valued based on those shares. LOL

The absolute level of return is not relevant in isolation. It is the level of return for each true unit of risk that actually matters versus the probabilities of hitting those losses, etc. Not a simple or objective matrix. Lots of subjectivity. However, in isolation, if i knew i could make 8% with a 2% risk versus 20% with a 15% risk, of course, I would leverage my 8% return 2x and make 16% returns with 4% drawdowns/risks. The problem and job is to figure all of this out because there is a lot of subjectivity to it even if someone has a 10 year track record. That is why the edge of the strategy is much more important than the numbers. Also, this presumes one is accounting for the risk of ruin as well in the calculus such as in the case of option selling which may appear to be amazing but has that risk of ruin in it that kills the whole thing.

Go DeFi; deposit a basket of stablecoins in CRV and then the LP token into a YFI vault. Decentralized, permissionless, trustless and has the liquidity you need.
