    OK thanks.

    What about Colin Bennett's Trading Volatility?

    Just a warning. That's the 6th edition. It's now in 10th.

    I have the 9th edition (Global edition). If one wants to go through everything in the book, some math knowledge is required like like logarithms, Neper number, integrals, differentials, etc.

    I think anyone can skip the theoretical part of it and still get a good chunk of the book.

    RenTech's reality is Medallion Fund is only available to current and retired employees. Not unusual though.

    RenTech's three other funds (REIF, RIDAF and RIDGEF) are all open to the public and beat the S&P once again last year and year to date currently.

    REIF 10 year return of 7.6% and YTD 17%. Believe the other two are similar.

    SPY 10 yr rtn ~ 14.5%, one yr ~26% with one negative year (2018). REIF better have no negative rtn so that on a risk adjusted basis it is better.
