Gregory Zukerman writes for the Wall Street Journal. Over the last few decades he has written several books. In 2019 he wrote "The Man Who solved the market: How Jim Simons Launched The Quant Revolution" which became a runaway hit. It tells the story of a genius mathematician who used modern quantitative techniques to make money for himself and his investors. Since 1988 one of the fund's operated by Mr Simons generated average annual returns of 66%. Legendary investors like Warren Buffet, George Soros and Peter Lynch, too, cannot claim to have made these outsized profits with such consistency. How did Mr Simons go about his business? How did he manage a stellar team while keeping them movitated? How did he use machine learning, artificial intelligence, data and analytics in an era when these terms were unheard of in the industry? Gregory Zukerman explains it all in this podcast.

Good day, good day, everybody. Brian here from wantlabs.net. Today is May 28th. I'm going to have some big news coming down the pipe soon. So keep your eyes and ears and all that peeled out for it. Anyways, I came across another interesting article. I do like this BetterSystemTrader.com podcast. It's pretty good. They did a posting called 10 Insights from the Man Who Solved the Market. This is referring back to the book Jim Simons Medallion Fund. It's the book put out by Gregory Zuckerman a few years ago. So this guy, Andrew Swan Scott, read it and thought he'd provide his insights. So let's go through these.   Get your free trading tech books here books2 - QUANTLABS.NET The first one is originality matters. Ignore conventional wisdom about the markets. Innovate and explore unique trading strategies and ideas. Look at the market differently from the herd. I totally agree with that because when you look at the markets, there's usually a star performer out there if you go out and dig for that among all the different data sources. And it could be a long-term trending strategy that you could use based on that. A good one in the past was USD Japanese Yen. Another one that was lesser known was USD Turkish Lira or Euro Turkish Lira. They did really good over the years, but now central bankers have stepped in and taken away those opportunities. Now, I don't know about the yen. That could continue, but that could lead to something that could be the next big catalyst to take us all down. But at the end of the day, looking for those sort of things, finding them, that's what gives you what they call trading edge for sure. Number two, collaborative success. Partner with talented individuals. Foster a collaborative environment to enhance problem-solving and innovations. Again, I cannot stress this. We're hoping to have an interview with Ernie Chan and other people that have kind of trailblazed the whole quant trading space, specifically for those that are coming from the retail trading space. Because as we know, to do true HFT, high-frequency trading, and true low-level quant research and that, people can kind of do it, but you have to have a fairly big account to take advantage of it to really do the pay-to-play thing directly right on the exchanges. As a retail trader going through a retail trading broker, that's pretty hard to do. So you have to find people that are kind of in the same area as you in terms of your account size, maybe your technical chops, as well as your mathematical experience. For myself, I guess I can share this now is that I will be moving my site over to a better technology, to Wix. I'm hoping to build out a better group community through that. That's part of the WIC's features, I guess. I did have an amazing group a few years ago. They're still around. I just want to bring more people together so that they can engage with each other behind the scenes. All at a paywall, but membership privileges have its costs. So that's where you get the collaborative success. So that's what I'm hoping to bring to the table. Okay, number three, embrace scientific rigor. Apply a rigorous scientific approach in model Model testing and validation ensuring robustness and statistical significance. This isn't really HFT, but to make life easier for a retail trader, I find using tools, very popular, very in-depth tools like TradingView helps you here. You can see instantly without going through any of the wonky backtesting packages out there, frameworks. works. Out of the box, you're ready to go. When you're working with an open source trading strategy, if you build your own, buy one, lease one, whatever on TradingView, you get the ability to see it. What's its profit potential? What is its profit factor? Which is another way of saying, if I'm going to put a dollar in, how much can I expect to get return from that via the profit factor? These are right there out of the box. So when you have these sort of instantly viewable to you from a high level, it makes your life a lot easier and a lot less stressful. A lot of people want to build and roll their own solutions. I'm not against that. But when you get up to my age, you will start to see how valuable time will be. That's all I could tell you. Efficient capital allocation. Okay. Develop systems to optimize capital allocation across various strategies to maximize returns and manage risk. One thing I can mention here, a lot of the boutique hedge funds, boutique AGFT shops, a lot of them will trade in the space of options. I don't think you can operate under a really successful trading strategy with a $1,000, $5,000 account. You need to have something fairly significant to play those kind of, I don't want to say gains, but kind of strategy capabilities. You need probably $20,000, $25,000 because you have to add all your premium and all that fun stuff. And that's why one of the reasons why ETFs are popular because they're not really risky. You can dream like a stock and there's no margin requirement any of that so these sort of things matter but if you do do the options training you can do very well if you get something that actually actually works okay let's talk number six leverage with caution use leverage strategically to amplify your returns now most people i talk to who keep their account in check from early blowing up. One of the things they do is they use no more than six times. I've seen in crypto years ago, finance would have 100 times and so on. And that's high risk when things are not going your way, especially when the assets are in a consolidation phase or downward spiraling or falling knife environment. You don't want to use leverage there. If it's a long-term trend and it's doing well, then yeah, add your leverage. Some people may go up to 12, let's say, but no more will not go more than six. Data quality is key. Prioritize the acquisition and cleaning all extensive data sets for accurate model development and testing. Again, this is where I like TradingView. you. You can get all kinds of data sources. You'll get, let's say if you're using free data sources like Yahoo Finance, expect to get the gaps. The gaps are going to be deadweight to you and they're going to be hard to work with. So you got to use good quality data. Obviously, there's lots of sources and most of them, I think all of them are going to be paid. And if you're not willing to do that, you're going to, I don't know, if you're just playing around and experimenting, fine. But if you ever want to get serious, you got to pay for the data. And as I say what you get what you pay for is what you get so if you're going to get free stuff I expect to have a low quality. Experiences and results that's all I can tell you they have the ability to enable you to have. Enable you to have decent success there. But obviously, you got to find your proper strategy. Short-term focus, number eight, concentrate on short-term trading opportunities where predictive power is stronger and more actionable. I know one successful trader, he most likely will hear this, he's trading on one minute. Now, he's probably successful there based upon his experience, based upon his history, and he's probably blown up a lot of accounts. So the short focus can help, but this is, again, for a guy who's built and defined high-frequency trading. And obviously, sub-second, sub-minute matters if you're successful. If you're coming from the free trade world, you want to work with basically. Basically long-term, daily, four-hour. When I was writing for Seeking Alpha, they wouldn't accept articles that timeframes less than four hours. So that's just to give you a scenario depending upon who you are and where you're coming from in terms of knowledge in the world of trading. Execution matters. Invest in technology and processes for efficient trade execution to minimize market impact and slippage the one i've come up with between trading view and the auto trading that's how trading view defines it with something like traders post is exceptional i could be sleeping at night and it trades and it's 100 fully synced that's all i can tell you there unless you try it you're not going to know except luck's rule there is a lot of luck i'm not going to deny that to you and yeah so we'll leave it at that you know basically it's like betting in a casino where if you're betting. If you're betting in Vegas, well, that means you may be riding on luck. You may have to do 10 little trades, take 10 little losses, but maybe that 11th trade may be the big one that you're seeking. But how often does that happen? No one knows. If you have a strategy that may be able to predict that, fine. And then you can work off of that for luck. So basically what this guy was saying, the author of this article here, Peter, this Andrew guy said, what Simmons, Simons and his team achieved is remarkable. We'll probably never see anything like this in our lifetime. Who knows? Computers may come up and do stuff and they may be doing it already through the AI, but we just don't know about it because these are not publicly known. They're not going to go on the internet and say, hey, look at me. I bought a Ferrari because I made an amazing AI trading solution. And if they are, they're just probably BSing. And if they're not showing they're creating journal to achieve that, well, there's a problem there. We may never know the details, but there are enough hints to guide all traders. Very true. Yeah. And then there's interview posted here with the guy, Gregory Zuckerman. Also, I think I can say about this is that Simons was very reluctant to do the interview and to do the book. And apparently, there are some parts in the book that Simons didn't want to get revealed. But this Zuckerman still went ahead and published it. And I don't think Simons was too happy about it. I wanted to leave that as well. And I'll talk to you soon. Have a good day. Remember, get on our training books, quantlabs.net slash books. That may change soon. So do it while you can. Over and out. Thank you.

Gregory Zukerman writes for the Wall Street Journal. Over the last few decades he has written several books. In 2019 he wrote "The Man Who solved the market: How Jim Simons Launched The Quant Revolution" which became a runaway hit. It tells the story of a genius mathematician who used modern quantitative techniques to make money for himself and his investors. Since 1988 one of the fund's operated by Mr Simons generated average annual returns of 66%. Legendary investors like Warren Buffet, George Soros and Peter Lynch, too, cannot claim to have made these outsized profits with such consistency. How did Mr Simons go about his business? How did he manage a stellar team while keeping them movitated? How did he use machine learning, artificial intelligence, data and analytics in an era when these terms were unheard of in the industry? Gregory Zukerman explains it all in this podcast.

A conversation with Gregory Zuckerman, an award-winning writer for The Wall Street Journal and author of "The Man Who Solved Wall Street". We dive deep into the world of quant investing, exploring the journey of renowned mathematician, investor, and Founder of Renaissance Technologies, Jim Simons, together with his extraordinary team.  Watch it on YouTube https://youtu.be/_5JkBUeLOLQ REFERENCES ▶️The book: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-man-who-solved-the-market/gregory-zuckerman/9780241309735 ▶️Greg's website: https://www.gregoryzuckerman.com/ ▶️ Follow Greg on Twitter: https://twitter.com/gzuckerman?

Efficiency experts say you must plan your work and work your plan. And you must have written goals and a budget and a schedule.A detailed plan is the key to success when you are doing something small, but you cannot have a detailed plan when you are doing something big and new and untried.You know a project is small when all the variables can be known in advance.When you do something big and new and untried, you will come to a place that your plan did not foresee. This is when you must improvise. Later, you will discover that you are making decisions at the last moment, because that is when you have the most information.Possibilities are in your mind. Reality is at your fingertips. So get started. Move. Take action. Do something.Clarity, commitment, and continual improvement are what you need most when doing something big and new and untried.1: Clarity means you have a clear vision of the outcome you are hoping to bring into reality.2: When you have clarity, you always know what to do next.3: Commitment means that quitting will never occur to you.4: When you have commitment, you find a solution to every obstacle.5: Continual Improvement means that you touch your project every day without fail.6: Touching your project every day – and moving it forward a little – unleashes the power of Exponential Little Bits, the energy that spins your flywheel.7: A thousand tiny touches don't add up, they multiply. Two becomes four. Four becomes eight. Eight becomes sixteen, and 28 cycles later you have exceeded one billion.8: The only things you cannot know in advance are(A.) How long is it going to take?(B.) How much is it going to cost?9: If you insist on knowing those answers in advance, these are the answers:(A.) It will take as long as it takes(B.) It will cost what it costs.10: If you demand answers with more details, you either lack commitment or you believe I can see the future.11: I cannot see the future.12: The only hard part is step number one.You will notice I have given you a 12-step program. This is because doing things that are big, new, and untried is highly addictive, and every addictive thing has its own 12-step program.Do not confuse it with a plan.Roy H. WilliamsPS – George Bernard Shaw said, “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” Roy might tell you more about George Bernard Shaw next week. Or then again, maybe not. – IndyCharlie Munger was the billionaire businessman who built Berkshire Hathaway side-by-side with Warren Buffett. Just weeks before Munger died at age 99, Gregory Zuckerman of The Wall Street Journal spent 4 hours with Charlie in the billionaire's Los Angeles home and came away with some life-changing insights. This week, roving reporter Rotbart interviews the last journalist to interview Charlie Munger, which makes everyone who listens to this week's episode of Monday Morning Radio just three degrees of separation from Charlie Munger and four degrees from Warren Buffett. How can you resist? This party will start the moment you arrive at MondayMorningRadio.com.

Can you imagine what it would have been like to have an exclusive four-hour audience with the late Charlie Munger?  The billionaire businessman, who died in late November at age 99, never got as much press as his close friend and partner Warren Buffett. But many people credited Munger with helping secure Berkshire Hathaway's decades-long stellar investment performance. Just weeks before Munger passed, The Wall Street Journal veteran reporter Gregory Zuckerman visited Munger in the investor's Los Angeles home and came away with some unique and actionable insights.  This week, award-winning author and Monday Morning Radio founder Dean Rotbart interviews the last journalist to interview Munger. That makes everyone who listens to this week's episode only three degrees of separation from Munger and four degrees from Buffett. It's always nice to know people who know people. And, importantly, to learn what they know. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son team of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

On today's episode, we revisit a conversation we had with two pioneers of the mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines, Katalin Karikó, PhD, and Drew Weissman, MD, PhD. The two were just awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their groundbreaking research in messenger RNA (mRNA) technology. When we spoke with Dr. Kariko and Weissman in June 2022, they had just received the Ross Prize in Molecular Medicine. The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research grants this honor to recognize promising careers in the fields of science and research. In this look back on that conversation, the history-making duo discusses what motivated them to endure their decades-long scientific struggles, plans to continue their mRNA research and what it means to be awarded the Ross Prize. Also on the show, we speak with Kevin Tracey, MD, president of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, about the importance of supporting young scientists, early-stage research and the culture of science. Meet the experts Katalin Kariko, PhD, adjunct professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Pennsylvania and a senior vice president at BioNTech Drew Weissman, MD, PhD, the Roberts Family Professor of Vaccine Research in Penn's Perelman School of Medicine The award Drs. Kariko and Weissman received is one of six categories that are recognized each year. Since 1901, there have been 114 prizes in the Physiology or Medicine category awarded to 227 laureates.  Learn more about the Nobel Prize  Learn more about Drs. Kariko and Weissman.  More on the history of mRNA technology Learn more about the history of mRNA technology and the development of the Covid-19 vaccines on this episode of the podcast, featuring Wall Street Journal writer, Gregory Zuckerman, and two of the first Americans to receive the vaccine, Sandra Lindsay and Yves Duroseau, MD.  Watch episodes of 20-Minute Health Talk on YouTube.

Politicians, government officials, business leaders, and public-health professionals were unprepared for the most devastating pandemic in a century. Many of the world's biggest drug and vaccine makers were slow to react or couldn't muster an effective response. It was up to a small group of unlikely and untested scientists and executives to save civilization. A French businessman dismissed by many as a fabulist. A Turkish immigrant with little virus experience. A quirky Midwesterner obsessed with insect cells. A Boston scientist employing questionable techniques. A British scientist despised by his peers. Far from the limelight, each had spent years developing innovative vaccine approaches. Their work was met with skepticism and scorn. By 2020, these individuals had little proof of progress. Yet they and their colleagues wanted to be the ones to stop the virus holding the world hostage. They scrambled to turn their life's work into life-saving vaccines in a matter of months, each gunning to make the big breakthrough—and to beat each other for the glory that a vaccine guaranteed.
