  1. Prob. Distribution

    Thanks a lot David! t-dist or modified logistic distribution I believe are better (normal is too thin in terms of tails and too symmetric). Again: thanks a lot Man!
  2. Prob. Distribution

    Guys I want to thank all of you for your inputs. They are all great. My problem (or at least 1 of them) is that moves with 3, 4 and at times more STD, are recorded so I'm I'm trying to leave the normal (and lognorm) distr. as last option. If I can find another f() that would be great. Does...
  3. Prob. Distribution

    Guys I need a little help. I'm sure someone else has already seen this problem. The normal distribution does not fit the financial mrkts well: tails are too thin (it's not uncommon to see moves beyond 3, 4 and more ST. Deviations), if the probab. distrib. has skewness would be great! Thanks...

  5. Automated Trading Championship 2010

    If we agree that total profit is just an easy way to select a winner (and that it is relatively easy to put together something that generates scads of money in a vacuum - meant regadless of the drawdowns) then should not we also point out that the real challenge is to put together a strategy...

  10. A critical quant program career choice. Please help a confused soul

    I've received an offer to join the programme in Q. Finance from Cranfield University, UK and EDHEC France. I'm in my late 30's and I'm a little worried about what offer (if any) I may get once finished (visa and languages are taken care of). They both have a career center but EDHEC also has...
  11. EDHEC Business School

    Connor let me 1st thank you for your reply. It's a good point the one you raised about location. Do you think that EDHEC is enough well connected to compensate for that? I'm covered as far as languages and visa, but my worry is age (39 now) and not sure how they will perceive me. If you could...
