Fifteen years is not a short time
I personally think what you need may be different markets

After two year, I couldn't get pass Chapter 3, "A More General One Period Model".
So my new year resolution is to take a couple of Coursera classes on partial differential equations.
Ironchef, tell you what.
I'mma gonna have a lecture on differential equations with my nephew in a couple of weeks. Probably just me and him, making him a bit more aware on where he comes from and where we go (if we had the power).
How bout joining us?
I always look for something in return but as long as they good enough here's my "payout": stories. Tell me stories from your life.
Example from actual happenings in my village. A group of German tourists were visiting the local "shepherd" range. Senior shepherd was a bit late (read: drunk as a skunk fallen somewhere) and his teenage kid was replacing him. Things went on, don't remember all, days later a German guest told a friend who later told me he found himself running through a corn field, shepherd's son on his tail agitating an axe threatening to kill him. He said to himself "surely it's a joke and I'm dreaming or both. but let's keep running". He's still alive to this day, and the shepherd's son is serving a life sentence for "axing" a guy who thought too much instead of running or fighting back.

Have you seen "What we do in the Shadows"? ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7908628/)
Along with telling you I'm literally from where vampires are supposed to have been invented? (Transylvanian Carpathian mountains).
I like that part in "What we do in the Shadows" where Nandor thanks Guillermo for his effort in the last ... two years? (It was 10 btw
).Yeah I know. I wouldn't have revealed it if not for GDPR.
Thanks for finding it anywayz, it shows you're capable of reading at the very least.
I'm very serious but I might need to up my rates there. If someone pays me $65.5/hour for a minimum of X hours, I'm definitely providing that analytics and trading I quote there. Whole idea of the high rate is to essentially never be bothered with an actual contract, while at the same time if someone accidentally happens to order and pay for it then what the heck, why not? With emphasis on *never be bothered with an actual contract*, hence the need for upping the rates just to be sure
Rule of thumb I used to double my job rate for a quote but I'm already in the $40 / hour so I wouldn't move a finger for consulting if not at least $160k / year.
Again on the personal website, the fact that someone offers something for sale doesn't mean they are actually making any sales. Like, if someone somehow stumbles on my site and wants to buy from me, then by all means. In practice the website it's there just to have something up and waiting for a better product and marketing strategy.
Since I'm currently in the process of developing an actual sellable product, I'll probably completely redesign the website in a couple of months, adding some actual dynamic content not just a few lines of static text.
But again, there's zero certainty that I'll be able to sell anything.
At least I'm no longer impressed by profiles on LinkedIn which link to a website offering some marvelous trading product (have seen quite a few lately). Taking some bootstrap template and modifying it so it lists something for sale it's easy peasy. Selling the stuf... well, there's no evidence most of these sites are actually selling anything.
I wanna make money from trading options and since I already invested some 15 years into this already, it's gonna be this or nothing at all.
At this point I have some promising trading strategies but I wanna debunk them with a partener before proceeding to the next step.
Actually I have:
- Historical options data for all US equity and indexes since 2002.
- A software to import that data and use it into backtests, plugging in my strategy ideas and option pricing models.
- Background in corporate finance and math, basically I used to work as a quant for an options market maker.
"Beating" (doing better than) the market is not easy, there's 100k *registered* quants on Wilmott and with 100% probability, almost none of them does that.
Add to that at least 10,000,000 self-identifying retail "traders" (lol, "self-identifying".
Optiver is the only legit shop in Europe, so I think, like your fake software biz, that it's all BS.
Half of your posts equate to a gofundme, so just admit you have nothing to offer. If you did (have something to offer) you wouldn't be begging anon randoms for cash.
WTF have you been trading for the last 15Y without success?
I know I'm feeding the troll but can't resist it...
Lolz, so outside Optiver people still live in trees?
Don't recall "begging for cash" as you name it. A software-shop cofounder is something quite different, not sure if you got the background required to make the difference
I never said I've been trading for 15 years.
