Party over! Quant was fun while it lasted

 

Quant was fun while it lasted

Wasn’t quant fun? Is this business really going down hill if you read my blog over the last few number of weeks. Is HFT not getting the great returns as they once did? If you carefully watch the videos I posted including a recent Ray Dalio advice, you will see how there is a negative economic force adding downward pressure on traditional means to squeeze returns out of the market.

Here are is that article which questions the longevity of quant

Quant techniques and machine learning really can only be applied in 3 areas:

1. Risk management

2. Risk reconnaissance to watch market direction in real time

3. Portfolio analysis and portfolio

I don’t think you can really apply these to find the probability of direct trading. But what do I know right?

Anyhow, I have once again put my three courses on a highly limited flash sale over the next few days.

It is marked down 50% to jumpstart your learning!

Here are the courses to help out your automated trading:

Bitcoin trading volume almost doubles in 2014? Should we join the party with automated trading?

HFT exchange BATS ex CEO resigned but may consult but IEX and Flash Boy Brad Katsuyama not invited to the Washington regulation party

HFT exchange BATS ex CEO resigned but may consult but IEX and Flash Boy Brad Katsuyama not invited to the Washington regulation party

 

Some highlights from this New York Post article:

Garrett, chairman of the House Financial Services subcommittee on capital markets, invited execs from 18 firms that touch on every aspect of high-frequency trading, from brokers Citadel and Virtu to exchanges like Nasdaq and BATS.

Bill O’Brien, the ex-president of BATS, left his job last week after Schneiderman’s office and the SEC pressured him to step down following a televised fight with Katsuyama, in which O’Brien mistakenly claimed there was no difference in the speeds of BATS data feeds, according to two people told of his departure. Neither BATS nor O’Brien would comment.

Garrett’s panel won’t touch on the main thesis of Lewis’ book — that some traders wield ultra-fast connections essentially as surveillance on the market, bidding up prices before others can get to it. Instead, it will focus on fees, pricing feeds and other trading technology.

Don’t miss the latest Matlab 2013a party

HI there

I have finally managed to post the video of Stuart Kozola’s presentation of some of the latest features of MATLAB 2013a. This includes the Trader and Production Server toolbox products. If you are like me, your jaw would have dropped seeing the capabilities of these new updates. I plan to take FULL advantage starting this week. I am already learning about Simulink. I seem to be the only person online publicizing this.


–> JOIN NOW FOR IMMEDIATE ACCESS <–

Two things that come out of this:

1. This will NOT go public at all due to the STRICT quality control of the Mathworks recorded video presentations on MATLAB. As a result, only you will see it. As a result, I did get permission to post ONLY for my QuantLabs.net PREMIUM MEMBERS! It will NOT go on Youtube at all.

2. I was also told we were the second group yet to see this MATLAB Trader Toolbox EVER so this is kind of EXCLUSIVE.

I hope you enjoy, I keep watching as it is nearly 2 hours long.

Here the other many benefits of this membership.

PS. I may do a LIVE webinar to talk about the latest video postings I put with all those other Matlab Toolboxes. I am starting both Stateflow and Simulink this week. I can confirm the abilities of both are stunningly powerful with C or C++ functions for external trading platforms.
