@@Finaius Is Prado book useful practically? I thought it is closer to academic side. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I will read it and implement some of methods from the books. To me, only hedging and arbitrage works . Trend following with prediction models hard to predict the consistent pattern.

I read their papers and one indicated Pareto optimal trading times are buying at the close or at the bottom of a vol smile, selling at the open. one HFT firm even glitched the mkt 1 summer until they were fined : Athena. the biggest name in finance research today, De Prado, found there are micro-inefficiencies on avg at hourly ticks, bc a lot of models recalibrate at even timestamps
Well said... ! My experience attests to what is said in this video. I have been a trader for almost 20 years and have been trading full time on my on for the last 7 to 8 years. I moved from using technical analysis to quant analytics using machine learning. Gone are the days when finding patterns on a chart worked. Now trading edges are tiny embedded in highly noisy data. We are like mining micro gold dust in a pile of dirt. The only way is to do it algorithmically and to combine lots of the gold dust into something worth while.
Another thing is many people think that success in trading is about finding a "secret sauce". Once you find that, you'll live happily ever after. In reality, the market is reflexive, meaning as more people trade in a similar way, things that worked in the past will stop working in the future. That's why there are so many scammers out there who manage to prove that their models actually work beautifully during back test. But after you pay them thousands of dollars and apply the model to future markets, they will fail miserably. Therefore, to be consistently profitable, models will have to be re-trained periodically and constantly to find new patterns. That becomes an impossible task for old-school traders who are still trying to find patterns manually. Algorithm is the only way to go !
@@BlackSwan-sq2iw I can safely say your thesis that algos are the only way is wrong, maybe you just aren’t able to do it without algos, but that’s short sighted to state your personal experience as fact. I’m an “old school” discretionary trader and I find new patterns that repeat or evolve every day, in multiple time frames and across asset classes, that are trade-able and I actually trade them. Problem sometimes if anything is finding too many patterns. People who say short term price movements are white noise aren’t looking at it correctly or maybe just don’t have the required pattern recognition skills.
@@vinaychauhan7936 can't agree more. Suddenly we gotta hear someone tell us trading is this and that and limited. I trade a certain "pattern" nowadays that simply rarely fails as long as I understand the concept around it and wait. Certain specifics dont go away
Literally the only thing you said about D.E. Shaw's quant strategy was that they use statistical patterns... Not to be rude but this video does not explain anything.

Love your channel! If possible could you make more quant fund videos. Those are my favorite & you seem to be one of the only people making them. Even videos on the topic of quant finance may even make for good videos.
So as a regular retail investor you have very little chance of success unless you build your own systems to compete against the most sophisticated systems the world has known..? Got it! 🤦♂️😂
Nope. Just be on the side of the manipulation. They can't manipulate it in all directions at all times. You can go long, short, strangled, condor ect ect. So they might manipulate the market for sure.... But not all retailers lose because of that
@@aaryanmehta4609 You can't automate EW back-testing. You have to do it manually or do several months/years of forward testing. I'm pretty sure folks like you can't commit to that. That's why you failed. 😂
thats true. I used to laugh so hard at those "forex/trading gurus" out there that showed some lines on graph calling it "technical analysis" , those guys can't make a simple moving average having the formula in front of them.

@@OlatundeAdegbola Also basic fundamentals! Always listen to and read what the Fed says! Last April they cut rates & said they're not increasing for years. I've been shorting the dollar since 🥃
When other people are aware of your patterns, it can be easier to be one step ahead. All financial apps have the big data of all patterns for all traders that use their platforms. Big data is different than individual best performer data.
Not sure if the case with this particular system (nothing in this video actually explained how anything worked) - but have noticed in the past certain folks tended to release them after they found out they are not as useful as they thought and can then make better and more consistent gains selling books.
The reason some of these patterns work is because the algos manipulate the price and create the patterns. Jim Simmons said one time "no one is keeping any secrets, they're all doing the same thing." I've seen some intraday patterns repeat themselves over and over, touching the price levels to the penny. Coincidence? I don't think so.
As an economist I vehemently disagree with these claims asserting economists accepted understanding of market prices are flawed. The biggest consensus across viewpoints argues that fundamental economic assumptions and “comprehensive” models are flawed and cannot possibly be a successful tool at discrete points in time. Also, the idea that economists are unaware that a significant enough proportion of traders seek short term, and even intra-day, profit, is what is fundamentally flawed. Prices at any given time are determined by economics, which yields poor short-term predictive efficacy. Quantitative data providing statistical analysis to describe price movements, or predict irrational shocks, given available parameters is not in the realm of economics. But interpreting that information to predict the future must have an economic foundation. That’s how multi factor models work. Regardless, thank you for the cringe. I couldn’t have enjoyed it without your Ill founded claims and misinformation
so the video was a bit respectful in describing economists, and so what. Its a channel from the finance person point of view , definitely not academics
I don't mean this in a derogatory way. I wish I was that bright. These aren't traders, they're speculators. Pulling stunts on the markets and it's participating crowd with actions never before seen or heard of. That's speculation not trading. They didn't play by the rules or guidelines, they circumvented the rules.
