@DeHausDemon @davidbelle_ My incredibly sophisticated strategy involves two friends
One who is always right: $MOVE
One who is always wrong: $TMV
1. Buying w/ $MOVE going up & $TMV down
2. Holding when they agree
3. Selling w/ $MOVE going down & $TMV up
Math is used to determine what’s significant
@GatorCosmist@lofieth@MyLordBebo Ah yes foreign military aid driving up house prices
Definitely nothing to do with Fed buying more MBS in a week than aid sent to Ukraine over months
@macrocephalopod@quantian1 They need to control for more variables as test is entirely dependent on taker not knowing the rules, and can be heavily affected by the perceived max victory bar displayed at the top, as in reality far in excess of what’s consistently possible
@henlojseam@optimizoor Yes but in 2024 alone, the U.S. claimed new territory 1364x the size of Singapores total landmass
Try scaling your airports for 80x the population across 13461x the area
The convexity on longer-dated zero-coupon bonds is a truly beautiful thing when even the long-end of the curve matures in less than a year @pendle_fi
As long as one can hold to maturity and has no liquidity requirements, the optionality on upside leverage is quite spectacular
While there are other strategies providing enticing convexity, such as @opyn_ 's Squeeth or custom Option strategies,
these typically incur incredibly high funding rates or require a serious amount of work
This is free & easy
Here are some good graphs to give a general sense of this to the unsophisticated
But it is also important to keep in mind Pendle often doesn’t follow expected bond behavior as there are lots of redacted & degenerate traders, especially when combined with points BS
But a good quick & dirty way to get a rough sense for a PT's convexity is by looking at the corresponding YT
Once they start going to zero at a relatively linear rate that means gamma is at or approaching 1
I miss the old DeFi,
straight from the code DeFi,
chop up the node DeFi,
set on its amo DeFi
I hate the new DeFi,
the all hype DeFi,
the rainbow points DeFi,
retarded noise DeFi
I miss the real DeFi,
the natural rates DeFi,
chop up the fakes DeFi….
