here’s a slightly wonky thread that people who use post-nominal letters will not like: let’s talk about real-time learning in quant-driven strategies and how to do it in practice, because a lot us do this as a result of real-world constraints. its basically TA with a dress-code.
1) volatilities are not stationary but they undergo relatively synchronized regime changes
2) exponentially weighted vols are more responsive to changes in current conditions
4) honestly the numerical methods are just simpler and i’m a dumdum so it makes it easier for me
6) for long-short baskets of like assets it avoids painful assumptions about intercepts (and therefore betas)
instead of weighing long and short baskets with betas, you just use an ewma of your preferred volatility estimator, i happen to really like GKYZ for anything involving leverage or synthetic options like “stops” or “risk-control” implementation

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W
Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela
The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.
One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.
Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
