Reading "Dynamic Trading" by Taleb...am i supposed to understand any of it?

Really?

What about John Hull?

Yeah, I can't name anyone who's read the CRR book. I won't allow any of my kids trade without first reading Hull, twice.

You have them go straight to Hull? They have basics before this I assume.

And do all the math problems. That was my first assignment on the derivatives desk.

No, that’s why they have to read it twice.

Props to them, that's kinda heavy stuff to dive into. You and a few other guys on here worth listening to recommend that book the most from what I've seen.

And do all the math problems..

I've seen this emphasized before as well.

I hate sayin this, but this was back in '90. No one knew from Hull.

... one better...Read CRR, and never read Hull

Ouch, bad memories. I still have an old red notebook filled with notes solely pertaining to that book. I went page by page, formula by formula dissecting it.
In retrospect I'd say it contributed $0.00 to my P+L.

You say it contributed to zero bucks but maybe you made a few bucks from it subconsciously lol
