I've been writing an article on AMM algorithms, recording what I've learned in the past 2 months. The medium article is kind of long so I made a few key points here. @AnchorDAO @_Dave__White_ @danrobinson @Showen_Peng @dken_w @EtheriaChan @TWAMM_ medium.com/anchordao-lab/aut…

One of my favorite quotes from @chanep ‘s Quantitative Trading books.

1/ A lot of quant traders (including myself at many times) have a knee jerk instinct to believe that if a strategy is technically challenging it must mean there’s more alpha underneath.

I went to school for math. I got trained in quant trading, and eventually shifted to quant trading in crypto. Over time, I've relied less on math and more on intuition, e.g. for analyzing Elon's tweets. Yesterday I looked at ... cartoons? for 4 hours. A thread about adapting.

A misconception about DeFi is that HFT doesn't exist, because blocks only occur every few seconds. The truth is that HFT-like price discovery *does* occur. In the mempool (and private networks like Flashbots). If you're only looking on-chain, you're missing a lot of the ecosystem

Architecture diagram for HFT crypto trading using exchange adapters and conversion off hot-path for market replay. @Shamitha_R the 👑
Replying to @0xLightcycle
Easier to explain with an high level architecture diagram. The raw feeds are stored and there is a scheduled script to convert them to the binary flat files

The main problem with trading options as retail is the vig you pay on each trade. You start the game a goal behind. Can your edge be expressed in a cheaper more liquid instrument?

quick rant about "constructing a neutral exposure" while I wait for something to load. a qualitative description about step by step optimization for us peons who take seconds to calculate (not microseconds on a custom ASIC like some here) 1/ Have a quant strategy. What's that?

"In the 90s and early 2000s, we focused on longer-term price momentum and a relatively slow trading frequency. The current approach is very nimble. The systems are designed to evolve, making fine-tuned adjustments throughout the day, in real-time." hedgeweek.com/2021/07/16/303…

I wrote about the rise of quants in the credit world. With the jump in electronic trading during the pandemic, quants say their methods are set to sweep the bond world as they did equities decades ago @markets bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Trade six types of strategies If you have momentum trades, add in a system for mean-reversion. If you have trend-following trades, add some carry strategies. 5 from one strategy, could be -4 from the other and it'll auto-reduce scale h/t discussion w/ @SimpelAlpha Thread👇

So you like trade tips, eh? Get some features that are correlated with future returns, combine and stick em in a constrained optimization with a txn cost model and risk model, then trade the delta to your exposures using algorithmic execution to reduce impact. You're welcome.

How much of trading really just comes down to: 1. Supply liquidity to <forced / price insensitive flow> 2. Don't get run over. ?

Finally took the plunge and published NSE F&O Bhavcopy summarizer on Github. A lot of moving objects there and impossible to explain everything so I just commented the code github.com/beinghorizontal/B… This is the code flow and sample diagram it will generate
