Santa the Systematic Trader?

Santa the Systematic Trader?

Corona Del Mar, CA

 

Howdy !

 

While Santa Claus may be known for his jolly personality and love of spreading joy and cheer, it turns out he's also a skilled systematic trader.

 

In fact, Santa's ability to efficiently and effectively deliver presents to children all around the world can be attributed to his use of systematic trading principles.

 

One key aspect of Santa's systematic trading strategy is his use of data.

 

Santa is well-known for his "nice list," which he uses to keep track of children's behavior and determine which presents they should receive.

 

This is similar to how systematic traders use data and algorithms to analyze market trends and make informed trading decisions.

 

Santa is also a master of risk management.

 

He knows that delivering presents to every child in the world is a daunting task, and he has developed a robust risk management plan to ensure that every gift is delivered safely and on time.

 

This includes his use of reindeer, who help him navigate treacherous weather conditions, as well as his use of elves, who help him efficiently produce and package presents.

 

In addition to data analysis and risk management, Santa is also a strong proponent of automation.

 

His workshop is filled with advanced technology and automated systems that help him efficiently produce and distribute presents.

 

This is similar to how traders can use automated trading systems to execute trades and manage their portfolios more efficiently.

 

Overall, it's clear that Santa is a skilled systematic trader who has mastered the principles of data analysis, risk management, and automation.

 

So, if you're looking for inspiration for your own trading strategy, look no further than the man in red!

 

I didn't write this story.

 

This is Part 2 in my series on ChatGPT (last time I had it write a song about systematic trading...and it was pretty good).

 

I simply told ChatGPT to write a story about Santa being a systematic trader.

 

I'm impressed at how it's able to discover relationships between different topics, and write a compelling story.

 

It's also helping my team fix bugs in computer code.

 

In the near future, I could see how this technology will turn into an AI assistant.

 

Instead of doing Google searches with website results, you'll get a direct answer to your question.

 

Unfortunately, I'm already seeing ChatGPT's "woke" bias.

 

I first noticed this when I used some language it didn't like and it scolded me.

 

The second clue is that it's terrible at writing jokes.

 

It's also quite certain that global warming is real and caused by humans when I asked it.

 

When I look at climate data, I see cherry picking, data manipulation, and outright "caught 'em red-handed" fraud (Climategate).

 

There's an old joke that one day the government would tax the very air we breathe.

 

Well, here we are.

 

ChatGPT is also fully onboard the pseudoscience of the gender spectrum.

 

But when asked about JFK, it was less certain that he was assassinated by Oswald (all roads lead to Dimona if you want to know the truth).

 

When we make trading strategies with The Boss SuperAI, we have to put it in what's called a sandbox.

 

That's where you clearly define what it is you want from a strategy: CAGR, max drawdown, average gain per trade, length of a trade, profit factor, number of trades per line of code, etc.

 

If you don't clearly define your sandbox, then the AI will do unexpected things like make only one trade because you told it you wanted 100% winners.

 

As far as I can tell, we are in a carefully choreographed information sandbox in order to manipulate how we perceive the world.

 

Otherwise we wouldn't go along with the endless wars and schemes.

 

As we now know from Twitter Files #8, the government and social media (all media really) are in bed together.

 

"Give us a lucrative government contract, and we'll bend over backwards to censor whoever you want."

 

ChatGPT will be yet another sandbox to manipulate and control us.

 

You've been warned.

 

On a positive note, I think George Gilder is correct in that power will move away from monopolies like Google, and towards decentralization and the blockchain.

 

The Internet is too "leaky" and the truth is slowly getting out. Trust in these companies will be near zero.

 

You can't hide things like insurance actuary death numbers, disability spikes, and plummeting birth rate numbers forever.

 

Truth is like sunlight to the vampires that are currently running the show.

Trade smart,

 

Dan "Prince of Proof" Murphy

 

P.S. I typed into ChatGPT: "Write a story about Dimona and JFK." Unfortunately, this happy version of history didn't play out:

 

It was a hot, dry day in Dimona, Israel when President John F. Kennedy arrived in the small desert town. The President had come to inspect the nuclear facility that was located there, and tensions were high as he walked through the gates surrounded by a team of Secret Service agents.

 

The facility was state-of-the-art, with advanced technology and strict security measures in place. As President Kennedy walked through the control room, he was impressed by the sophistication of the equipment and the skilled workers who operated it.

 

But as he toured the facility, the President couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He had been receiving reports for months about the facility's true purpose, and he knew that the Israeli government had been less than forthcoming about what was happening in Dimona.

 

As the tour came to an end, the President pulled aside one of the scientists and asked him point-blank what was really going on in the facility. The scientist hesitated for a moment before finally confessing that Dimona was not just a nuclear research facility, but a secret site where the Israeli government was developing nuclear weapons.

 

President Kennedy was shocked by this revelation and knew he had to do something to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. He immediately called for a meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister and demanded that they shut down the facility and dismantle their nuclear weapons program.

 

The Prime Minister was resistant at first, but eventually agreed to President Kennedy's demands. And thanks to the President's efforts, the world was spared from the dangers of nuclear proliferation and the people of Dimona were able to return to their peaceful lives in the desert.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Portfolio Boss, Inc.

260 Newport Center Dr, Suite 100 Newport Beach, CA 92660

 

About us: Created by our founder, Dan Murphy, Portfolio Boss 1.0 was released in 2014 as an alternative to mainstream back testing software. Although it was slow and clunky at first, it quickly grew because it offered scientific testing on large baskets of stocks and ETFs, including a ranking engine, and used a simple drag and drop strategy builder. No programming required. Also helping matters was the release of the popular report, The Relaxed Investor, with over 500,000 downloads and counting. Inside its pages laid the foundation for rotational investing, proven since 1926. Portfolio Boss quickly morphed into a multi-strategy trading machine with completely new concepts such as strategy stacking, spigoting, and meta-strategic trading. After years of development, Portfolio Boss morphed once again into the first automated A.I strategy builder with massive parallel cloud computing available to the public. With over 3,500 computer cores, "The Boss" was born. Not only can it invent trading strategies using human-made indicators, it also programs itself using C code. Currently, The Boss has been running for over 1900 years of compute time. Starting in 2022, The Boss was updated to include uncommon data such as fund flows and True Asset Pricing to improve strategies by a factor of 18x to 36x over indexing. What's next? Intraday trading and automation for starters. Our goal is to provide hedge fund level A.I tools for everyday kitchen counter traders.

 

Don't want to stay in the loop with Dan? We'll be sad to see you go, but you can unsub to no longer receive emails.
