I noticed everyone applauding the knowledge that you bring to every video but are they all missing how hilarious you are. The dry humor is a big part of why I watch your stuff. Don’t ever stop.

So true. Creativity is the key to find good trading ideas. I heard about one student who managed to "borrow" a Bloomberg Terminal in a library and started to analyse the movements of all oil-ships that was moving from one place to another. He managed to see a pattern of the movements with the Crude Oil-price and started to trade his own savings with CFD's on Crude Oil. He sat in this library day in and day out as soon as the computer was available. He became a millionaire after a few months and got himself his own Bloomberg Terminal later on. Pure creativity there!

It is just incredible to me that concepts of Trend Following and Mean Reversion are so ancient.
@awk4080
Your explanation on quant trading and why it appealed to you at the beginning of the video really resonated with me. You have very strong articulation skills; I appreciate the video.

I counted the number of words spoken in 15 minutes on CNBC. The more words spoken the likelier we were at a top and vise versa. I also set up a decibel meter. The louder the show the more likely a top was in place. I also converted candle stick charts into musical notes and had a concert pianist "Play the Dow Jones" . Very effective for finding tops and bottoms. That's what creative thinking s all about.

That was top class. Could have listened to hours of those fascinating tidbits of financial history. The Japanese Rice "Futures" blew my mind.

Thank you for posting this. I’m an undergrad student majoring in CS/mathematics with a significant interest in the finance world, so this is the exact explanation and dive into quant traders I was looking for. Thank you

@alandb2481
Another great video. I started out as a commodities trader in my early 20's (20 years ago) and I now know that I was a quant trader. At the time though, I had zero experience of markets or trading and I wasn't aware of how anybody else did it. It just seemed entirely logical to look for correlations in data, so that's how I traded. I was astonished to find out as I later got to know traders in other companies that many didn't even use an excel spreadsheet, they just relied on gut instinct.
