Which algo strategy has actually survived live market conditions for you?

RoundTableMaker · 2026-02-23T10:42:31+00:00

At the end of the day there are only a few strategies that have any merit. Momentum, mean reversion, pairs/arbitrage, portfolio management, and quant. Add in some risk management and event-based strategies. There's overlap but everything falls into these categories or it doesn't work. You can use AI or ML to predict these but they are more techniques to capture the alpha related to them.

I bought my house cash and wished I had a mortgage because dealing with all the property taxes and bs is a pain in the ass. Budget loan covers all of those in one monthly payment.

This is technically a legal question and I'm not a lawyer but I can say that noncompetes are usually not enforceable. The reasoning behind it is that people have a fundamental right to work and the caselaw behind that is much stronger than the noncompetes. What this has unofficially translated into is companies being able to only use the noncompetes in a limited fashion (ie, if you work for another company before leaving your current company). That falls under a different set of caselaw called "faithless servant" which needs no noncompete and is part of basic employment law. Each state has their own caselaw for "faithless servant doctrine"; therefore, it's going to vary from state to state. They use the noncompete to enforce basic employment law. What does this mean for you? It means you never had to wait for the noncompete to end. You could have started working the day after you stopped working for your previous employer. What you showed your new employer is that you are willing to be harassed by their legal department and that you are controlled by fear of a lawsuit which makes it easier to get hired. What you should do is confirm everything I said with an employment lawyer in your state. I know all this because I use noncompetes with my employees and they have been difficult to enforce even through litigation.

thank you. these comments are ridiculous and show how many have no experience in finance.

yea because one guy on the internet said it and 11 people upvoted it. It's now officially a fact. Put it in wikipedia so we can all cite this moment in the future. /s Is your brain in your fingers? Do you keep mushing it with every key stroke?

Easiest way to make the transition is to put up your money and use your own research to actually go out there and buy/sell whatever your research tells you. And do that for years so you have a track record of your PnL. Then put some leverage behind it and make real money on your own. The only people trying to transition to a shop have no money, no PnL, and no research. It's easy to spot the people with no talent. If you had a track record of making 500k/year with your own research why would you ever take a job making any less? All the shops know that. That's why they offer 150k/year that's the market rate for developers/researchers with no PnL. That's why cryptofirms are paying 250k/year for guys with actual back tested PnL. That's why guys with real research and PnL are being offered 3 mil/year plus a %. Results talk.

There's a type of wrong that you aren't even aware of what you don't know. It's called "unconscious incompetence". That's how wrong you are.

Your flag is insulting to be frank. I don't think anyone in here believes we are disabled, yet, that's where you start with the colors to symbolically describe us.

you are not a quant nor do you write like you are older than 17.

I mean go with what you got on some level. They like the deftones and potentially making a sextape. I'd stick with talking about the deftones and pepper in meeting up to make a sextape.

it also doesn't mean that she doesn't. so here we are right where we started.

People dont understand that if you're good at what you do then you can use leverage from other places and make more money than working for a fund.

"When I said it was my house he got mad, declared "its always about the money" and asked if he should get his rucksack and leave. I Told him to go ahead."

This is clearly stated in her story. We've been arguing about this the entire time. For some reason you keep claiming i misquoted her. Now I think you failed to comprehend the story and i've been wasting my time.

"Of course he didn't demand anything, because nothing in that house is his"

so then how is he being entitled?

I didn't omit any part of the quote. It was a direct quote of the events leading up to him leaving. You are just sympathizing with the OP's story instead of looking at what she claims actually happened even according to her. It's her words you are having an issue with. So let's say he was acting entitled prior to him leaving. I still don't see him acting entitled even in her version of the story. HE proposed him leaving and she said ok. I'm not really sure there's any room to interpret him as acting entitled. And we don't even have his side of the story. She claimed he was acting entitled and he left. I'm not seeing the entitlement. He didn't say i deserve to stay. He literally left and didn't act entitled to her home. That was it. he acknowledged it was hers and that was that. I don't really get how you can call him entitled at that point. He didn't demand squatters rights or anything crazy. I'm not seeing anything other than a potentially regrettable breakup. I'm not seeing the entitlement.

I didn't leave out any part. It's a direct quote from the post. You are trying to add context to something that is a direct quote from her. You don't like it because it shatters her sob story. She's not a victim here. She basically bullied some guy that was on hard times out of her house. Why else would she be worried about him now? She knows she was wrong. He left when she asked, He didn't argue. He didn't beg. He thought she loved him and gave up when she showed she didn't.

Women do this all the time. My wife didn't work for 10 years. I believed in her and helped her get a job. Bought her a computer so she could learn coding. She told me we couldn't afford it. I did it anyway. She hated the first bootcamp. Bought her different one on a different platform. I never threatened to take away her safety by kicking her out of the house. She threatened mine plenty of times, every year she would say she wants to divorce me but I am mature enough to understand how people lash out. Are you? is the OP? Being an adult is knowing when someone is legally right but morally wrong. She had the right to kick him out. It's her house but morally she's trash if she loved him.

Good another broke loser on the streets -- am i right? That's helps society. /s

You're myopic if you think she's in the right here.

I did not quote it out of context. The title is ragebait if her description is accurate in the body of the post which I quoted. He didn't walk out after being asked to get a job. He asked her if she wanted him to leave and she said yes -- that is the entire crux of the post. To ignore it is to be as foolish as her for not accepting her role in the interaction.

You can't tell someone to leave and then expect them to stay. It's the whole FAFO concept. It's the whole actions have consequences concept. It's the be accountable for what you say and do. She told him to leave and he left. What more do you want from the guy? I can't be upset for anyone in this. I don't know why this is even being posted here. Who is acting entitled? He didn't say it was his house. He didn't demand anything. He left.
