      @OverTheMountain69 4 года назад +3

      Sometimes it's best for everyone on the team to focus on getting to first base as often as possible, and this often leads to the most points on the board at the end of each game. Take the doubles, triples, and home runs as they come, and try to avoid too many strike outs (or pop flies caught by the other team) that come too often when one worries too much about swinging for the fences.

    If any trader ever doubts what's been talked about here hit me up and I'll show some of the models or patterns. I don't have their systems but what I've managed to come by so far is mind boggling. The price chart is simply a mathematical function and of u have tools to identify the rate of change of the function aka price ure golden! This models shows up on even on the smallest timeframes like the 1min. The markets is fractal in nature. All we must be looking for when trading is the rate of change and price is the last thing to change on the charts. Peace!

    To my view, Simons may have overstated the importance of quant model: some years his core fund outperformed non-core funds which, reported by media, seems to be front-run by his core fund.Steven Cohen is a suspect of insider trading as his formed fund firm was dissolved by all sorts of legal suits;;;

      Rentech does large scale statistical arbitrage. Law of large numbers works in their favor plus they have insane leverage and tax optimizations for Medallion. Their other funds don't do as good because they use the discarded signals that isn't incorporated into Medallion.
      Steve Cohen gets 30% with insider trading and 1% without it (Point72 performance)..

    • @OverTheMountain69
      @OverTheMountain69 4 года назад +2

      Cohen is said to use lots of options. If you have a lot of money to start with, and you're buying both puts and calls on very volatile securities, you're probably going to make serious money over time - particularly when you can buy those options cheaply.
      If you have very little money to start with, options may not be a strategy you'd want to fool with until you build up a decent sized nest egg. You also want to be very careful when selling options.

    • @OverTheMountain69
      @OverTheMountain69 4 года назад +2

      He's more conservative. Since most rich people are older people, and most older people are more conservative in their investments, it is generally a wise strategy for a fund manager to be more conservative and transparent with client money.
      Dalio's returns have been more modest than the others, but many people with money (particularly older people who are retired and not in a position to take big risks) will prefer to invest their money with someone who is more conservative and traditional, and who is personally very open, transparent, and has no real secrets.
      A typical 65 and over retiree is probably going to be more reluctant to give very many of his millions or more he worked hard for to someone running a black box that generates constant short term capital gains, pays no dividends or bond interest, and whose managers admit to having limited understanding of traditional business, accounting, etc... and use 3000 trades a day based on historic chart patterns and other technical signals to generate returns. No matter how high those returns are reported to be.
      If I had been born a generation or 2 earlier, and had an extra $100 million or so laying around decades ago when both Dalio and Simons were accepting outside investor money, I probably would have been more comfortable giving Dalio a much larger chunk of my wealth than Simons. I would have seen Simons's fund as being riskier (although obviously generating much higher reported returns), and would have been more comfortable with Dalio's incredible knowledge of economics, business, accounting, etc, and willingness to share it and explain everything.
