      macrocephalopod Retweeted The Moron That Went Short Yet Again.

      This is a good question! Some possible answers - 1. Infrastructure that is too expensive or too hard to build yourself (eg colocation, low latency data feeds, compute clusters, fpgas) 2. Data that is too expensive or simply impossible to buy (eg historical tick data)https://twitter.com/mobile_mm/status/1373427747901542402 …

      I have a different question - if you have a "quant" strategy or system that has a positive expectancy why would you trade it with other peoples money? Why give anyone else a cut? Eventually you will become very rich trading your own account. I dont get this.

      Also, the variance of even a very high performing strategy is a lot for most people. Simulate a bunch of GBM processes with returns 2x vol. Observe how often and for how long they are underwater.

      Very good point! Even good strategies have down or flat years, and you still need to pay your costs in those years, plus your rent/mortgage/living costs. At a fund or prop shop most of your costs are top line and you still collect your base in a flat year.

      A salary is really the best "carry" available

      Would say IP under discussed here. Working @ quant fund is getting paid carry selling call options on your future net worth (no offense - just my thought process)

      True although you can sign a deal at a fund to keep your IP, normally you need to give up a few % on your payout to get it.

      Interesting. Feel like if you knew my trades could back out my process no?

      Unless you know the data sources being used I think this is surprisingly hard! Especially if some trades are hedges for positions that are alpha-generating.

          Of course if you are just using price data, or if you are doing well known value/momentum/carry stuff then it is easy to reverse engineer that from your positions. If you are doing something unique I don’t think you ought to be concerned.

          Interesting. Good food for thought.
