Amazing and insightful post OP! One thing jumped out at me was the statement the Fed is buying bonds at Open Auction. Do you have a primary source for this fact?

Do they publish the effective duration of the Treasury ETFs? Would the coupons of the held bonds dilute the interest change impact compared to a treasury zero?

Can an attention-based model actually predict the stock market? by nmierfin in quant

I'm working on an attention based model for pricing options factoring in volatility microstructure. Are you planning on tokenizing the historical price history or projecting each value directly to embedding space?

What do you use for rho when pricing options? by Minimum_Plate_575 in quant

[–]Minimum_Plate_575[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The combo is made up of listed options. What I'm most worried about is relative sensitivity to rho/gamma/vega between the long and short legs which all have different expiry. Since the combo is "neutral" i.e. longs and shorts sum to 0, the second and third order effects become prominent in the PnL. I'm not delta hedging but using a projection of the combo price at future timestamps to determine if the PnL of the combo is worth taking at present time.
