Recording and the resources for tonight's session will be uploaded soon~
Good Night Tribe🌙

Hey Tribe, Eri here 🫶

Last night Charmain Tan from QD Academy showed us how she actually uses AI for quant trading. Here's the technical shape of it 👇

🧩 Three levels of AI: Chat, Skill, Agent. Chat is asking. Skill is the capability you give the AI. An Agent completes a task. Agentic AI completes the whole process toward an objective, like a target P&L.

⚙️ IBOT is a chain of specialists, not one prompt: ideation → quality gate → data engineering → backtest → optimisation → trading. Each specialist has a personality and hands off to the next, and the quality gate only returns conditional, pass or fail.

🧪 Six-stage research framework: know your data → variance exploration → temporal structure → cross-sectional patterns → falsifiable hypothesis → pre-backtest validation.

📐 A hypothesis must specify five things: signal, universe, condition, prediction, horizon. Most hypotheses die at pre-backtest validation, before a backtest is ever run.

🔬 Backtest spec: in-sample to build, out-of-sample to validate, commissions and slippage accounted for, look-ahead bias-free. Vectorise first; use bar-by-bar loops only where the logic is genuinely stateful.

📈 Optimisation: systematic grid search, visual heatmaps and overfitting guardrails. Robust shows a plateau of good performance across neighbouring parameters; fragile shows a single spike.

🧾 Integrity report: every issue detected and fixed during the scan, documented before the strategy moves forward.

📊 Performance: CAGR, max drawdown, Sharpe ratio, equity curve, win rate and trade count.

That's the session in one screen 🫶

[$2 trillion has to trade on the same days every month. Quants mark it on their calendar 📅🐋]

🏦 Pension funds must hold 60% stocks and 40% bonds, no matter what

📅 So every month end, they're forced to buy or sell, on schedule

🔍 Researchers told 16 of them: "We can see your trade coming."

🤷 Their answer: "We know. We're not changing."

Most traders chase the news. This trade is on the calendar 😏

[That "genius" stock-picking edge? It might just be two hidden factors in disguise 🎭]

📊 US stocks sorted into 25 portfolios by size and value, 1963 to 1991
🐷 Cheap "value" stocks earned an extra 0.40% a month on average
🎯 With market, size and value combined, 21 of 25 portfolios had R² above 0.9
😮 With the market alone? Just 2 of 25

A mouse, a piggy bank, and the 1993 study that changed how quants spot real alpha 👀

Hey Tribe Eri here 🫶

Just wrapped tonight's session with Roys Chen. Sharing the value for everyone, who were on Zoom or missed the session.

💱 Forex: global FX market, about $9.6 trillion a day. Moves in pips on currency pairs.

📄 CFDs: trade the price difference without owning the asset (currencies, indices, gold, oil, shares). Long or short.

⚠️ Leverage cuts both ways. Example: 1:20 means $1k can control $20k, but a small wrong move can mean a margin call. Risk rule he shared: about 1% of current capital per trade. He said only an estimated 5-10% of retail traders stay consistently profitable.

🌍 What moves markets (his big four): interest rates, inflation, job data, and GDP. Gold and the USD often move inversely.

📖 Macro case study: George Soros, 1992 British Pound / ERM, and 1997 Thai Baht.

🧭 His path (what he shared): lost US$50k in month one, then years of figuring it out. He said he now averages around 2% a month manually, roughly ~8 trades a month, pairing fundamentals with technicals on a higher timeframe like the 4-hour.

Proud of you for showing up and learning, Tribe. Keep going, your growth compounds 🫶
