What's important to understand as well is that computing and data in 1988 was orders of magnitude less than now. This means that medallion, at least during the first decades, was NOT using big data. They were using MATH. They found some set of mathematic principles that created their success.
@someonethirsty19577 ай бұрын
They did. Reading the charts is probably the hardest part, although some of it is probably a lot less complicated than you think. There was a guy that used to be on KZbin called the popular investor. The last project he was working on before he got rid of his channel was creating a fund better than the s&p. I don't remember what criteria he was using to create the ETF, but it was not terribly complex. Some reasoning that makes sense.

Every theoretical physicist and many a mathematician knows Simons from gauge field theory, which is what he did before. I talk about him in videos, but never so far in relation to finance. It's also the case that he had two sons die at adult age. Sports accidents and so on. Money can turn out to be a bit of a curse sometimes.

Its not the .75% edge, its their payout if they win , peter lynch talked about this years ago in the 90s if you buy 10 companies that have the capacity to 10x and limited downside you may only lose seriously on two, six will be ok, and two will 10x, every 1/10 bet has the chance of giving you 100% return. If you are not right even 20% of the time and your time horizon isn't prolonged you win pretty big.

You don't use leverage to reduce your downside risk. You have to maintain margin requirements (% of investment) with the lender, and eventually pay back the lender. In that respect, risk is amplified, because you can lose more than the amount of your investment.

My suspicion is that the model works by measuring market over reaction. Mathematically, there is a certain amount of acceleration in volume up or down, and they calculate what it should be versus the irrational exuberance or irrational pessimism actually present and they make their bets accordingly. In this way they “go to where the pick will be”. The reason that they have a limit to the money that they put into the market is that they don’t want any of their transactions to actually succeed in correcting it and cause self defeat.its not that they are some sort of benevolent force. It’s just that the model would simply fail.
