@IHGService Hahahaha I’m apparently not allowed to DM you. Meanwhile my family had to figure out checking themselves in WHILE I still was on hold. 70 plus minutes waiting for “the front desk”. I’m member 205770796. I think you have my details. Including my confirmed room from 6 days ago.
@HolidayInn@IHGCorporate hey IHG I booked a suite for my family in Osoyoos, BC. Two different people have hung up on me trying to confirm the name on the room. The third one told me the room I reserved isn’t available even though I’m looking at an email with all the details.
My family is now about to pull in to the hotel and I’m still on hold, listening to people occasionally push buttons, and your lame music. I would have been better served to drive to the actual hotel and talk to the front desk then attempt help from your customer service. Horrible
Euan Sinclair. 27 years trading volatility. phd physicist. wrote the book on vol trading, literally, it's called Volatility Trading.
on a coin that pays 51 heads / 49 tails:
"over an infinite time period, you're going to make an infinite amount of money. but in any given flip, you're not going to know if you've won or lost."
a 51% edge is a money machine across a million flips and visually indistinguishable from noise across 10.
most of the strategies that get killed in month 1 weren't broken. the sample was just too small to see the signal. most of the ones that get scaled into ruin weren't real edges either. same problem, opposite direction.
position sizing is the only thing that lets a real edge survive long enough to show up.
"you can't let PNL of such a volatile process drive your theory behind your trades"
@shawngorham Trying to move into this space in some capacity. Can you say in broad strokes how he’s compensated? Is he a salaried employee? I think there is opportunity to do this as an IC for many businesses.
@MIAviationKing @sydor_greg@OvertempMarine@jprupp I’d take a Kodiak any day. K900 at 210 knots is a different machine than either the short or long Caravan. K100 is shorter but more nimble off-airport. I’ve also heard Kodiak wing is markedly better handling ice.
