Describes the 7 Buckets in the Tradeslide Risk Masterscale - as well as how Tradeslide Risk describes risk @ 95% confidence for a hypothetical investor
An apples to apples comparison of experience across all types of trading styles. Scalpers, swingers, Ex is the measure that determines whether a strategy's performance is statistically speaking different from luck
Foreign exchange markets involve the daily purchase and sale of trillions of dollars worth of national currencies. The foreign exchange market dwarfs other financial markets in size, with $4 trillion traded daily. Under flexible exchange rates, exchange rates are determined by market forces of supply and demand, while fixed rates require central bank intervention to maintain a set price. The uncovered and covered interest parity conditions suggest that expected returns should equalize across countries, but empirical tests often reject these conditions, posing puzzles for financial theory.
importance of shelf edge delta for hydrocarbon explorationAbzal Alpysbayev
Shelf-edge deltas are important reservoirs that form where major rivers meet the continental shelf edge. They come in river-dominated, wave-dominated, and tide-dominated varieties depending on the dominant forces. River-dominated shelf-edge deltas are most efficient at transferring sediment to deep water. Wave energy at the shelf edge can hinder sediment delivery in wave-dominated deltas. The regime of shelf-edge delta deposition is influenced by variables like sea level change and sediment supply from rivers.
Floodplains form along river banks when flooding deposits sediment. Levees are natural embankments of coarser sediment deposited along river banks during floods. Braided rivers divide into small streams separated by islands of deposited gravel and sand within the channel. Deltas are flat lands formed of sediments deposited at river mouths, with distributaries transporting sediment into the sea.
Deltaic systems form where rivers enter standing bodies of water. They include a mixture of fluvial and marine processes. Deltas can be recognized by thick accumulations of terrigenous sediment that interfinger with fluvial deposits inland and marine deposits basinward. As river flow enters standing water, it loses velocity and deposits coarse material in channel-mouth bars, diverting multiple smaller channels that build the delta outward. Estuarine systems form in drowned river valleys during marine transgression or early regression, and are dominated by fluvial and tidal processes on a smaller scale than deltas.
Deltas form where rivers enter standing bodies of water and experience a drop in velocity, causing sediment deposition. Sediment is deposited in three layers - topset beds of larger particles, foreset beds of medium particles, and bottomset beds of finest particles. Delta shapes include arcuate, birds foot, and cuspate. The Nile Delta is an example of an arcuate delta with its curving shoreline. The Mississippi Delta resembles a birds foot with distributary fingers. The Ebro River Delta in Spain has a cuspate, tooth-like shape from opposing currents.

This document introduces the TradeSlide Challenge, which aims to help traders prove their skills to potential investors. It does this by tracking traders' performance and risk management over time using a system of "badges" of different colors that represent different skill levels. Traders can improve their badges and overall score by focusing on the elements that measure important trading skills like risk management, discipline, and handling losses. The document provides information on understanding the badges, how to improve one's score, and where to find help through TradeSlide's knowledge base and mentor system.
The document discusses Tradeslide Performance badges. [1] It is a measure of consistently profitable trading that adds strategic value on a risk-adjusted basis over time as a by-product of developing core trading skills, not a goal in itself. [2] The badge reflects an investor's actual returns rather than just reported profits by accounting for open positions, deposits, and withdrawals. [3] Traders should focus on internal skills-based targets and controlled losses, as sustained performance requires mastery of all other badges and big gains are just small gains that kept accumulating through experience.

Loss aversion is a cognitive bias that causes traders to hold onto losing positions for too long and close out winning positions too early. This locks in systematic losses over time. Loss aversion is exacerbated by high leverage trading and can be overcome by reducing leverage and increasing it gradually. Algorithmic trading strategies should not be affected by loss aversion if the open/close parameters are set appropriately based on performance, rather than emotions.

"A Framework-Based Approach to Building Quantitative Trading Systems" by Dr. ...Quantopian
Contrary to popular wisdom the difference between a retail quant trader and a professional portfolio manager is not in "having better trade entry and exit rules". Rather it is the difference in how each approaches the concepts of portfolio optimisation and risk management.
Both of these topics are synonymous with heavy math, which can be off-putting for beginner retail systematic traders. Hence, it can be extremely daunting for those without institutional experience to know how to turn a set of trading rules into a robust portfolio and risk management system.
In this talk, Mike will discuss how to take a typical retail quant strategy and place it in a professional quantitative trading framework, with proper position sizing and risk assessment, without resorting to pages of formulas or the need to have a PhD in statistics!
This document provides an overview of a presentation on disciplined trading and options strategies. Some key points:
1. The presentation introduces Vancouver Disciplined Trading Hub and its educators, and discusses what disciplined trading entails, including predefining risk, cutting losses, and using a systematic plan.
2. An example iron condor options strategy on the S&P 500 is presented, including its characteristics of being non-directional, range-bound, and out-of-the-money.
3. Historical performance data is shown indicating average weekly returns of 8% or more when following the strategy's guidelines on volatility levels and position management.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

2. Why is stable risk (Rs element) investable?
•
If you trade to manage investor capital, two risk appetites come into play
• Yours – as defined by how you manage your own capital
• Your investors – for their investment in your trading
•
Investors expect risk at any time to match expected risk when they invested –
and will monitor any deviations very closely
•
Deviations in risk – particularly sudden ones – will make investors lose
confidence in your risk management, and trigger capital calls
•
This is the reason why stable risk matters
• The level of risk DOES NOT matter
• Ideally, risk should stay constant
• If risk changes, change should take place as slowly as possible over
time, allowing investors to re-adjust their leverage levels with respect to
you

4. Rs - Risk stability – What is it?
We track worst potential loss in a strategy over time
Risk stability is the difference between max and min potential loss
