@sasuke___420@idoccor@iavins Probably all the usernames fewer than N characters are already taken, and it's possible to then transmit a smaller structure to filter on the suffix of the username after N chars are typed.
@functi0nZer0 NB if your country was, eg. The entire world - you'd need 3 weeks
But no real country has the bad properties required to not make this strat work
@functi0nZer0 you can do it with certainty in 2 weeks for any real country. Choose an extremal point of your country for your first guess then you know the direction pretty well. Then choose where the arc intersects a border for your second guess. Should give you the location.
@dampedspring@DeepDishEnjoyer Follow on thoughts:
The real question is _why do indices fall faster than they rise?_
A secondary effect re existence of skew in market is:
Asset managers will get fired if they massive miss benchmark, but usually not if they slightly miss benchmark. Incentivizes buying downside
@dampedspring@DeepDishEnjoyer (it really is that simple. An implied vol is just a price in a different unit, instead of dollars I quote in vol because it's a better scale for options)
@dampedspring (and without making assumptions about what you know here, remember there's a direct formula to convert European prices into a PDF for that expiration)
@dampedspring Contrived example to reinforce the point:
Imagine asset where you have 1 expiration for European calls and Pdf implies +1% or -1% with 50-50 chance. If trading a barrier at +2% with that exp, I need more info than just the PDF (can it go to +2% then back down to +1 before exp?)
