Since we're on the subject, can anyone point me in the direction of how to account for correlated inputs? Without adjusting them, it can possibly give nonsensical probabilities (>1) but my math isn't good enough to decipher the

But when you "spontaneously" send that order in any mean-reversion strategy, it will be a limit order, not a market order. It will still wait to be filled, and may not be filled. Maybe you sit at the bid, maybe the midpoint, maybe

It would be helpful to know at what interest rate they are discounting future payments. When you're looking 50 years in the future, even a few points makes an enormous difference.

I'm not sure where you get this definition from. I'm a "retail" investor in that I use a broker (IB) instead of directly connecting to exchanges. Yet I day- and swing-trade for a living.

Any mean reversion strat would use limit orders to enter the position. Maybe you mean stops?

"average annual return of more than 35 percent" I don't think they meant every year was greater than 35%, I interpreted it as the overall average is more than 35%.

My understanding is that the outrage is over the method in which the dogs are kept/killed. Some (many?) are burned/boiled alive to release endorphins/chemicals which is said to enhance the flavor: http://www.nydail

I use them primarily when developing something large from scratch. All sorts of edge cases / things that can go wrong will pop into my mind when coding a method but I don't want to get out of the flow of whatever I'm doing. I

Reminds me of this old joke... Lady: Do you smoke? Guy: Yes I do. Lady: How many packs a day? Guy: 3 packs. Lady: How much per pack? Guy: $10.00 per pack. Lady: And how long have you been smoking? Guy: 15 years Lady: So

Without giving away any secrets, can you expound on the current state of pairs trading? I was under the impression that the easy ones (GM vs Ford) had been arbitraged away long ago. I'm sure there are small-cap opportunities but I have

This can be balanced against the fact that you get to invest and compound that deferred tax until you do end up paying it, possibly several years later. So instead of multiplying your account by .65 every year (assuming 35% tax rate), you o

Good question... 1.) I get 100 free trades per year in each account at WF 2.) I also use WF for all my checking and business accounts, and I have the PMA package which is better support, low fees, etc but requires me to keep at least $25k w

I have an automated trading system which places stock trades through my broker's API (Interactive Brokers). However, I also trade my Wells Fargo IRA with the same system - since there's no API, this requires a very fragile Seleniu

Just noticed at the bottom of forbes.com, ostensibly one of the gold-standard names in personal finance, I see 6 "promoted stories" - all of which violate facebook's recent click-baiting standards: http://newsroom.

In my mind, whenever there's a grey area in interpreting the law, shouldn't it default to common sense, i.e. what a reasonable person would conclude? This is why we use phrases like "beyond a reasonable doubt" and the co

I trade stocks as a hobby and I was wondering what I'm missing here. This morning Zillow offered .444 shares of Z for TRLA. Currently (1:50 pm EST) TRLA is trading at only a 0.411 valuation of Z. What's to stop me from shorting Z

About 5 years ago I submitted a post here asking for comments on an online text discussion/annotation tool: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=821559 Rap Genius looks very similar; glad someone made this work.

I don't think he's talking about an interest-only loan. A $900,000 30-year mortgage with a 3.5% interest rate will cost $4,041 per month.
