Questions for ET QUANTS

Quote from Chicken Little:

Here is something new to learn: look up the definition of TOO and use it in place of to at the appropriate times. Mullet.

Quote from aPismoClam:

cuants do "maths," not "math." everyone knows that.

note the arrogace. truly it is "the revenge of the nerds." everyone watch genius fail, again (and again). Don't worry, the everyday guy ultimately pays for the flights of Daedalus.

busted!

Quants may in fact "do" maths, however when they "obtain degrees" from a college or university they get them in Mathematics (math).

Once again, please take a moment to THINK before you post.

and while you are at it look up the word "gauche", as I believe your photo is there.

Happy 4th

Quote from steve46:

A "quant" is a person qualified to work in finance using quantitative methods.

A "quant" working on Wall Street always possess a graduate degree (usually a Phd) in quantitative methods, math, computer science, physics or similar discipline. They are always graduates of one of the top 10 schools.

That leaves everyone here "out" and by extension, unless someone shows up to claim that they are qualified, there are NO quants here.

I realize that my description is oversimplified, but that is how it has to be for the majority of folks that frequent this site.

Wonderful talking with you again.

Obviously Steve, you don't know much if anything at all about them kwants.

Indeed you contributed a most profound statement with your: "Once again, please take a moment to THINK before you post".

and in answer to your question, I almost never sleep, and that is because I spend so much time at night running tests.

Let us know again when one day you start trading (day time) with real money.

Stevo, before this lamentable thread is consigned to C-C, I invite my friends here to list their degrees and accomplishments. I myself have two and a half, all in "hard" subjects. I authored an engineering textbook which is still in print 35 years on. I can joke about signal estimation and backtesting subtleties that a phony like you wouldn't even have the sophistication to recognize as jokes (or at least Joe Doaks can), and I can run rings around your ass on mismanagement insulting. Not that any of that makes a shit relative to the ability to read the tape, which our diatribes elesewhere proved that you DON'T have. Remember? V leads P? Yeah, like dick leads pussy!

Most importantly, he often shows off the lack of intellect/ intelligence!

The good-natured insulting masks an important issue. Can the foolish, unquantish small lot retail trader (that would be me) survive, much less prosper? I haven't bothered to run the stats, but in NQ it seems to me that about half the volume is in trades of 50 cars or more. Feels like a mouse dodging dancing elephants. The only saving grace is that the elephants often seem to be dumber than I am. Maybe because they are salarymen? Or quants? Oh, and BTW, Stevo, post some execution reports and impress me. Otherwise you just look like all talk.
