    Using Stats to Improve Confidence - Roundtable

    Using Stats to Improve Confidence - Roundtable

    This week’s roundtable kicks off with Baba Yaga teasing an upcoming live stream with Vico from TPA this upcoming Friday! From there, the panel dives into an in-depth discussion about process reviews and using statistical analysis to refine trading strategies. Along the way, they address the fear that comes with learning a strategy might not be as successful as once thought and the importance of collaboration during data analysis. The hosts talk through their experiences of refining trading strategies through rigorous data analysis, emphasizing the importance of statistical expectancy and confidence in trading setups. They explore key topics like finding the right entry methods, filtering out losing trades, and how market context plays a critical role in trade decisions. In the realm of exit strategies, the conversation underscores the danger of taking profits too soon and the importance of understanding the setup’s EV.
    Group trading dynamics come under the microscope as the Fleri and Baba Yaga discuss the challenges of trading in a community, dealing with different trading styles and timeframes, and avoiding undue influence from others' trades. Despite these challenges, they also highlight the benefits of sharing trading setups and ideas within a supportive community. Kyle then shares a particularly potent Good/Bad/Ugly from the past week and the episode closes with some new bold market predictions.
    Tune in for a lively and insightful discussion that blends practical advice with personal anecdotes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to refine their trading strategies and learn from experienced traders.

    “Democratizing Debt” - Quincy Issues First U.S. Blockchain Bond - Ft. Eric Mason and Rick Coscia

    Quincy, Massachusetts has issued a blockchain-based municipal bond, the first of its kind in the United States with the goal of democratizing Quincy's investment opportunities and ultimately allowing individuals to invest in their own community. Eric Mason (Quincy CFO) and Rick Coscia (Quincy Strategic Asset Manager) join Kyle to explain why they decided to push forward with this deal, and what they hope to accomplish by embracing Digital Ledger Technology. They also explain the safety and efficiency of listing a bond via blockchain, the advantages of being an early adopter, and the potential for creating a secondary market for trading blockchain-based bonds. To address concerns about cybersecurity and the risks associated with the new technology, Eric and Rick describe the long vetting process and how the city’s financial health was always their top priority. The conversation explores the potential impact of blockchain technology on municipal bond sales and the role of government in embracing new technologies as they explain the benefits of using blockchain for bond sales, such as increased efficiency, cost savings, and improved transparency. They also highlight the importance of regulatory compliance and the need for government to lead the way in adopting innovative solutions. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the post-bond sale analysis and the potential for future adoption of blockchain technology in the municipal bond market.

Despite acknowledging his limitations as a pit trader, his connection with Chip Kenyon, a prominent figure in the bond pit, paved the way for a remarkable opportunity.

    “Don’t Manage the Money… Manage the Trade” - Scalping w/ 2yrflipper

    “Don’t Manage the Money… Manage the Trade” - Scalping w/ 2yrflipper

    Jeff (2yrflipper) is back for a deeper dive into the art of scalping, as he emphasizes the importance of knowing when to scratch a trade and how to catch edges. Jeff discusses the significance of correlations in scalping and the importance of staying organized, as well as his use of delta and timers in his trading strategy. Jeff recommends starting with a one-lot position size to maintain consistency and learn from each trade, and to focus on managing the trade rather than the money. Developing quick twitch muscles and practicing clicking fast can benefit new scalpers, as well as looking for anomalies in the DOM and time and sales to identify opportunities for scalping. Scalping requires dedication and the ability to stay focused for long periods of time, and Jeff emphasizes the importance of executing trades only when there is a perceived edge and staying away when there isn't.
