for new traders and new investors, this about as good a summary of the value of backtests as you'll ever find

"The error is treating the backtest as a map of the future rather than what it is, which is a study of the past." - Richard Brennan (@RichB118)

first came across @lukeburgis when interviewed by @EpsilonTheory a while back. Accessible and really helping in understanding motivation on an individual and communal level

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

"Wanting" is a really good book for understanding why social media is so powerful and damaging. @lukeburgis helped me understand Rene Girard. We don't so much copy other people's behavior, as copy their desires.

This might upset a few people, but it is something that happens all the time in this industry, especially in the tail risk space.

You often see institutions study past volatility events and then try to optimize their portfolios around those exact rare events. The problem is that rare events suffer from a sample size dilemma. Building a hedge around yesterday’s anomalies usually looks great in a backtest but proves ineffective when real markets shift.

A perfect example came after February 2018. Investors watched Volmageddon, saw the VIX spike into the 50s, and rushed to add low delta VIX calls to their hedging programs. On paper those trades looked incredible during crisis periods such as 2008. Then December 2018 arrived. Equities fell almost 20 percent, the VIX did not even reach 40, and many of those hedges failed to deliver.

This practice is still widespread today. Billions of dollars are allocated to hedges that are really just backward looking optimizations, creating structural feedback loops inside the volatility cycle until the market delivers something completely new.
