Psycho-Chemical Warfare
Published (2009-11-25 20:23:00)
A funny coincidence, today in the Financial Times: Alpha males must trade on more than machismo - FT Nov 25 "Male traders, like animals in the wild, take more risk when their testosterone levels rise. Research by myself and my colleagues found that moderately elevated levels of this hormone increased the profits of high-frequency traders although at higher levels it can cause overconfidence and risky behaviour, morphing traders into...

Ah yes, Singleton is the Holy Grail of patterns if you want to have a shot at it (the C++ committee gave up I believe) I would 1st of all not do the GOF OO Singleton (it's wrong paradigm and I bet it's not thread-safe) but Singleton<T>. have a zip file using a Destroyer and instead of that these days boost smart pointers are better. The problem with static objects is that they are created before main(). How will...

Significance Test
Published (2009-11-25 23:45:00)
Two suggestions: 1. Any test of significance should be on data that was NOT used for estimating the optimal T. That is, you'll want an out-of-sample test. 2. I'd compare your daily average pnl to the pnl experienced by a strategy of buy-and-hold that has the same average exposure. For example, if your system gets a buy signal an average of once every 15 days and spends an average of a 1.5 days in the market, then it's average...

Talk on Fisher Black at Bloomberg

Good talk. I always enjoy an expert talking about as aspect of something "basic" as they penetrate to the root of a problem help us poor people understand it much better. Feynman is an excellent example of that, as is Martin Gardner.

Thank you for presenting very interesting result. It works for non-differentiable payoff cases where Piterbarg's pathwise greeks method cannot be applied. I could not figure out the reason why the method works for CMS spread TARN digital payoff but does not for CMS digital bermuda. Do you have any idea?

those are very 80's... the drawback is the lack of statistical understanding of the generated model. You can pick number of neurons, topology, observe test performance, but it lack understanding, bounds on error etc. More recent methods are kernel machines, support vector machines, gaussian procceses regression.. these have nice mathematical and statistical foundations....

i don't know anything about xlw but in Excel dates are stored as a serial number which happends to be the number of days from 1900 (or 1904). XLW should be able to cope with XLOPERS which is the Excel would pass a range.

It's no secret that most MBAs are a con and waste of money. There are only about 50 worldwide you should even consider. About 20 in the US; 4 or 5 in the UK; and 1 or 2 in each significant national market, that always benefit from a home bias advantage.

See "Trolls" and hopefully you will bring your sense of humor with you. *** Cuchulainn, bless his heart, is always ready with the data, but naturally it cannot tell the whole story.
