All the dumb doods were hella jealous that the smart people were making bank, so they just created tax laws that helped rig the game (because the dumb people always seem to either be politicians, or trust fund babies born with a silver spoon in their mouth & a politician in their pocket). By systematically deducting investment losses from investment gains, you generate an asymmetric return stream known as Tax Alpha (no relation). Studies from eg MIT show you can add an average of 0.85% to 1.10% in annualized excess returns over a passive strategy. But that's a starting point, not the end game.

@sling_trade Says:
LOL. The equation that has destroyed the financial system over and over again except for bailouts which the "uninformed" paid for. Nobody factors in the fact that, when more than one player uses these models, they cancel each other out. The real way to beat the market is be a big enough player that you can push the price around and force your options to pay off reliably. Or to have more information than others about the surrounding environment, known as "macro".

Very neat video. I lived in Chicagoland for a bit & visited CBOE a few times including a tour of the trading floor. There weren't crowds of folks on the floor even though volitility was high. I asked the guy at the IBM pit about using the Black Scholes model & he showed his analysis on his tablet PC which had wireless data connections. The trading floor went fully automatic several years ago. I'm sure it will get more exciting with AI.

I spent years working on the floors of F&O. First I was so chuffed and proud to be there, being part of the big game.. I worked for a few Tier1's across the globe, but I can remember being on the floor in London when a leading bank was fined $16b.. I turned to my boss and said that's got to sting and he replied. No Chance, we knew it was coming, we had that money in a working account for two years and it doubled its value, so it paid for itself.. Before long, I hated it, every stinking greedy little part of it and how the entire world plays to its song... Not that I liked May as Prime Minister, wrong politics for me, but she didn't screw us.... The global banking system did, and no one even nattered an eyelid at the route coarse. Burn it all! You want to know why the third world exists in 2026, i jut told you..

Just found this video. What a fantastic video. I’ve been trading for 10 years and self taught quant for 9. I don’t start making money until I stopped trying to predict and use Hidden Markov Models and generating the right synthetic data for Monte Carlo. Essentially, it’s all a coin flip. Mathematically adjusting RISK from start to finish while adjusting while in trade. I stopped following know rules to adjust while in trade and probabilities become my gold mine. This is a great video. Really, really good video
@prodbecko Says:
15:25 I really can't understand this. Yes, it seems easier to figure things out in the past than it is now, I know that's a misconception, but how could something as intuitive as remembering the cards played in blackjack not have been discovered until the 1950s? I mean, knowing the cards played is practically the biggest trick in the game.
@willferguson2700 Says:
Great video, but Derek, the last sentence is wrong: [...then we will have a perfectly efficient market, where all price movements are [remove "random"; insert "predicted"].

Why is no one pointing out the fact that since stock price cannot be negative it cannot follow normal distribution. It follows log normal distribution. The returns on stock is normally distributed. 11:09
