all interesting points. except the last one. i did not claim that. i just said if you give me a use case and benchmark, i could probably beat it without BS. i specifically said i would have to do some research to make that happen. but honestly, this is the most interesting answer from you so far, and makes it more clear what your point is.
I think getting picked off by the customer would more than likely involve inside info. It's good to be the MMer (DNT client).
The point is that you wouldn't know what is legit and what is BS. Your "research" into the field should not be wasted on models when you fail at a basic understanding of the product.
I completely agree that one doesnt really need any model, BS included... Really depends how and what you trade... My question is what does it show if we choose the S&P 500 as the benchmark and you buy 500 split strike flys as a directional play and hit?? What type of trading do you do,i.e directional,vol etc Would you quote me 3 year options and or spreads in TSLA for shits and giggles....with no peeking??
He asked to see your vol-model. You stated you don't have one. I stated that you walked it all back. Too easy.
You lost me...How do you propose you "outperform" BS??? Its a model,it doesnt produce returns.. Are you saying you dont trade options??? WTF is going on??? simple,straight foward,easy to understand?? Is this your idea of joke?? "take short short side without having to sell anything".. What does that mean????
