well LTCM was a company that bet on everything, stocks, forex, bonds, volatility etc etc. They used models that assumed a normal distribution which underestimates the event of a crisis. Thus leaving them too exposed to a market downturn. url also ...

LOL, google LTCM, thats number 1. But if you wanna see for yourself, download a tonne of daily data (any stock or asset) and plot it on a histogram. You'll notice the kurtosis is above 3 and it fails the 68, 95, 99.7 test. You'll also notice the fat ...

Okay so for 1, technical analysis works fine for me. Buts its like a hammer, if you use it right its great, if you use it to try and cut wood, its not so good. You may like this: url for 2, price is not normally distributed (not 50/50) so whatever ...

Securities prices follow a log-normal distribution - a winning system?
- scottyfromau replied Jun 26, 2011
ask the people at the willmott forums, they can probably guide you to some whitepapers or books on the subject. I'm sure there'd be a tonne of papers with people trying to proove/disproove this.

some people still use it yes but I think you'll find more sophsticated instiutions will use improvements and further derivations to find more accurate option prices. Black scholes is good but there's better tools out now

yes, its an area called statistical arbitrage which you might like to look into. Apologies about missing that you wrote 'log normal', was very tired when I wrote that reply. But I still strongly advise being careful using distributions like that in ...

Whats signed in the T&C's is what signed. I'd expect 1 or 2 trades now and then to be erroneous, stuff happens. But 300? come on lol... Tell them to at least give back your deposit, then go after the profits. Close your account with them and force ...

- scottyfromau replied Jun 19, 2011
They do not follow a normal distribution. A normal distribution severely underestimates the probability of a large loss. Thats one of the reasons LTCM crashed (they used the black scholes model to trade options) Stock returns tend to be 'fat ...

As of now recovered over half the losses. The reason for the losses was because while the market was moving up, it was chopping the downside. Everytime I went in I would get stopped, if I reversed (given opposing conditions) it would resume the ...
