This introductory course overview presents cryptocurrency quantitative trading as an application of the same mathematical, statistical, and computational methods used in equities and futures. It describes building systematic models from historical data to…
This high-frequency trading note proposes tracking aggressive order flow over a rolling window of ticks. It explains the Bayesian idea as updating beliefs when new evidence arrives, then applies that intuition to counts of buy- and sell-side activity. In its…

The document reviews weaknesses in high-frequency and market-making approaches that place orders too close to the market. During sharp one-minute moves, nearby orders can accumulate inventory quickly, increasing stop-out risk and slippage. It suggests…
This essay explains classical, frequency-based, and subjective interpretations of probability, then introduces the axiomatic probability space. It emphasizes that probability describes uncertainty relative to a defined model: a scenario must specify its…
The essay uses the collapse of a bank trader who kept adding to losing Nikkei futures positions after an earthquake-driven market fall to argue that optimism, pressure to conceal losses, and weak risk controls can turn a setback into ruin. Its central lesson…
The essay argues that people and organizations often default to familiar methods without checking whether those methods can achieve the desired result. It recommends defining the outcome first, then working backward to find or invent a suitable approach. Its…
The document explains how Metcalfe’s law relates a network’s value to its number of users, using Bitcoin as an example. It describes the idea that pairwise connections grow roughly with the square of network size, and compares Bitcoin’s adoption and…
The document introduces cointegration as a way to model related time series that are individually nonstationary. If a linear combination of such series is stationary, that combination represents a stable long-run relationship, even though the component…
The document announces that a quantitative trading platform supports TA-Lib and describes how to call indicator functions with recorded market data. Examples include MACD, OBV, and EMA. The records object is required, while additional parameters may be…
The article explains deviation rate, or the percentage distance between a share price and its moving average. It presents the measure as a contrarian tool: a deeply negative reading may indicate that selling pressure is exhausted and a rebound is possible,…
The article explains that trading outcomes depend on both the proportion of winning trades and the average size of wins relative to losses. It gives examples intended to show that a low win rate can still be profitable when average wins are much larger,…
The document explains quantitative trading as a way to turn a trader’s market ideas into consistent rules and execute them systematically. It contrasts this with subjective trading, where judgment can lead traders to skip signals or abandon a method after…
