"Dept of Quant Trading: In my experience over optimized quantitative trading models fall apart spectacularly. I'm a fan of robust models which to me means simple models (ex simple moving average crossover). I do like to layer these to avoid betting too heavily on any one model. Over time this approach has enabled me to achieve real time results that are exponentially closer to simulation results vs complex over optimized models. However. If you apply robust models to something like a broad market index (ex. SPY) you can improve drawdowns versus buy and hold (sometimes significantly) but you're"

I wonder how many people actually walked away with a profit considering everything they did (long or short) over the past few weeks. If you were long and using a tight stop you almost certainly got chopped up a ton recently. If you had a wide stop you're still long and hating it right now (although you might still be profitable depending how early you got in - but down 30% in one day sucks 🤮).

To achieve a similar result going forward Bitcoin would have to go to $15600000000 (or thereabouts). This seems highly unlikely and thus I start to wonder if it is worth adding Bitcoin to the mix"

"Having read Reminiscences and Livermore's various books and bios many times my personal take is that two people he looked up to were Old Turkey and the nameless guy from the mountains in California who came to his broker's office a few times a year to trade on data that was multiple days old.
