I like you, your ability to take a brutal spanking & keep that half-wit smile on; & the occasional tantrum is rather cute... I'd like to make you my pet.
Hey, we get it. You are too stupid to use TA. Explain how they one an award for something that you say quants don't even do and that doesn't exist?
It's true, I still don't understand what a quantitative award is. BTW have I not asked you four times now? Still waiting... Thanks for your patronage
It is true, I still don't have an answer from you how they won an award for some that you say doesn't exist. Still waiting..... No really. You first.
Hey now that's the spirit lad! Perhaps at issue is the purposely ambiguously described "quantitative award", sounds like some made up cr@p to me. You believe everything you read on the Interwebs do you? But it's all good, I'm awarding you with the EliteTrader Best in Show Award, a-yup, right here right now. Yeah, that's a thing!
You have some valid points. However, if one could find price actions/behaviours which are recurring for over a period of time, they could be quantified. But of course, due to some element of randomness (and the past does not represent the future) in the market, there is no guarantee how long this will last. As long as it continue to work, there is no reason for a TA trader to stop exploiting the behaviour.
Do you always just make shit up an believe it? Have you gone to the link? The link is to the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Do you think that Kellogg regularly lies and makes up crap on a regular basis? Here is a link to the Crowell Prize that Robert Korajczyk (Professor of Finance at the Kellogg School of Management), Kellogg alumnus Ronnie Sadka (Professor of Finance at Boston College), and Steven L. Heston (Professor of Finance at the University of Maryland) were awarded in 2009. https://www.panagora.com/about/crowell-prize/ ADD: I probably falsely assumed that you are familiar with Kellogg. Just so you know, Kellogg is one of the most prestigious business schools in the United States. US News ranks Kellogg as the 6th best business school in the US. ADD: I accept the award and thank you for it. Do I have to give a speech?
