It's all the same, isn't it? dafuq, Mate. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/tradex-forex-journal.345872/page-3#post-5121944 @Tradex for the win. Just stop.
It’s not condescending at all. You had two signals that put you into a position where you had no signal and didn’t realize it. You are postulating on an exotic derivative without understanding all the implications of black scholes (for example it doesn’t actually rely on the assumption of log normal returns). But that’s your choice if you know everything because you read 20 trading books a year. Somehow they all missed triangular arbitrage.
he had exposure to another pair that he had no signal in. So his trade generation model isn’t very robust.
Anyway. I actually think you are a decent guy. But I think you are missing some knowledge which can help you. But you disagree So good luck to you.
The original questions in this thread have a feel of perpetual student syndrome. I’ve seen lots of people asking pointless questions, studying them for months, then figuring out how useless they were, moving on, and finding new pointless topics to study and questions to ask. Just trade some actual options and learn practical stuff. Or derive the answers from historical data, which would also lead to practical findings.
