今日は私の誕生日です。日本語は難しいですけど、皆さんの気持ちが私の支えです。いつも応援してくださってありがとうございます😭❤️. (ディーラーは「若い女性が車を買うゆとりがない」とよく言われたんですけど、私は現金で買いました🥳)

Launching a hedge fund is both easier + harder compared to 10 years ago. It's difficult to summarize into 1 post, but below are my personal anecdotes:.

AIを駆使した高速取引で1日平均10億ドルの売買をするヘッジファンドを立ち上げたMIT出身のクリスティーナ・チーさん(26)、とりあえず経歴とかどうでもいいけど、何より素晴らしいのはタヌキ顔と巨乳である。

@cornwallcapital 取引をしましょう！. 今後、キャリアを持つ女性に対し、性的なニュアンスのある言動を慎しんでもらいたいのです。. その代わり、日経新聞でのインタビューではボヴさんの匿名性を約束します！😈. 返答期限は17時まで😉.

There are many good and bad books about quant trading out there, and I wanted to highlight 3 books, 2 of which helped us in our early hedge fund days. Links below.

大学の寮でヘッジファンド立ち上げました。映画と違って、体験は楽しくも魅力的でもありませんでした。訴訟、セクハラ、FBI、窃盗、差別など、色々なことが起こったんですけど、本当に成長できました。更に面白い物語もあろよ〜. (本を書いたら読んでくださいねー☺️). 先月、利益の記録を破りました🔥.

Why do people blame their AI as justification for discrimination? 差別のきっかけはAIじゃなくて自分の失敗ですね。In English we call this a “non-apology apology” (thus his tweet blew up and was brought to my attention lol). ちゃんと謝ったほうがいいと思います。.

So Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev actually dropped some new info last night via Clubhouse which helped me unravel the real story. The reason he sounds dishonest on TV is because he's hiding something in plain sight, and it's NOT what people are crucifying him for. The problem with RH:.

The louder a quant is on social media, the less legit they are. Just keep that in mind.

Here's a hard truth that quant firms can't say out loud: According to multiple sources from Tier 1 quant/HFT/prop shops, the number one indicator of success as a quant trader is the university they attended. for undergrad. 🧵.

I’m shocked that no big newspaper has taken up this story. One of the best fashion photographers in the world had her work plagiarized, exhibited in a gallery, and sold. Plagiarizer hired a big-name lawyer and won in court. #cancelJeffDieschburg.
The fact that my work has been copied by others countless times is a testament to its originality and style—including in this particular case, where it’s been exploited by the violator for a painting that won an award, exhibited, and was offered for sale for €6,500. 3/

Sometimes I'll meet a quant hedge fund that I'm 100% certain will fail. It's not because of the founders (many young and unique folks have succeeded in the past). But it's almost always because there's a market microstructural detail that they're unaware of, that makes their.

During my internship in Japan, one of my tasks was to say 「おはようございます😃！ 」to every employee who walked through the door. The higher-up directors usually ignored me. That same company called my company 5 years later, asking to invest in my fund. I said no.

Someone asked about red flags to look for when applying to quant firms, so I'll start with the most obvious one: When they have 0 Chinese, Indians, or Russians on the team.

「起業家としては友達を雇う誘惑に駆られるが、同時に非常にリスキー。雇い入れる事でまず法的に雇用者となり、友人関係はその次になる。そしてもしその人達が解雇されたら、大概友人関係も終わってしまう。何年も前にこの事を手厳しく学んだ」-me lol.

“How do you break into HFT or quant trading?” You’re not gonna like my answer but here goes nothing: There’s only ~20 “large” HFT firms out there that employ over 500 people. Most of these employees don’t do HFT, but serve in supporting roles or on non-HFT teams. 🧵.

Twitter is one of those crazy places where someone with a bored ape profile whose username is "peepee" turns out to be the Lead Quant at a Tier 1 prop shop.

I chose to meet him because I want to learn something from him and truly see what he’s like. (Not to expose him or revoke his CPA.) Life is full of adventure and excitement and I’m sure some of you guys can feel that through our silly discord. Worlds collide. Chaos is a ladder!.

My heart goes out to today's job applicants, especially in the quant trading world. You're smarter and better than me in every which way, and yet you'll work 10x harder to get a job. You'll have to go through more rounds of interviews, more grueling tests and take-homes, all.

#HFT Here's an example of an HFT strategy. Keep in mind this is 1 in a billion examples. This isn't investment advice. Don't trade it. I'm in a unique position where I can share strategies without getting sued cuz it's my company & IP.

I am an imperfect human being. I understand that many people disagree with my actions (telling ボヴさん not to say sexual comments at real career women). Some people think I was too forgiving. Some think I was too harsh. I’m sorry I cannot make everyone satisfied.

My favorite anime studio KyoAni burned down and at least 33 ppl died in the arson. I love all of their shows - many directors died and #京アニ might shut down. Please consider donating with me. I know the guy running the fundraiser and it’s real.

絶対にMITです！ノーベル賞は学部生に教えるし、レガシー(お金持ち人とか、ご両親は卒業生など)の学生はあまりいないし、HFTなら最も多く機会をもらえる場所です。でもクラスは難しすぎて2回目は卒業できないかもしれない、、.
@christinaqi ではもう一度大学を選べたらどこへ行きますか？.

How to talk to me 101: . At business events, my rule is “only compliment people on things they can choose (dress ✅, skin/eye color ❌)”. Online, even if anonymous, say what you are okay saying to your daughter. “You look beautiful!” ☺️✅.“You probably have a D cup.” 😂❌.

Quant trading strategies are rarely shared. Quant trading courses are expensive, misleading, or outdated. Yesterday I shared this sample strategy + code as a sandbox for aspiring quants to learn and get started.

What’s your definition of success? I like “ikigai” which is a term stolen from Japan and given a western meaning lol. It’s a great way to visualize some of the big things we want in life. ☺️ The problem is most of us can’t find a job that’s “perfect” so we have to prioritize.

The SVB collapse has been devastating in more ways than one: They supported women, minorities, & the LGBTQ community more than any other big bank. This includes not just diverse events, but actual funding. SVB helped us move one step forward; without them, we move two steps back.

[back to English] I have the power to get people fired from their jobs and blacklisted from brokers & exchanges. But that's an option I choose not to exercise, because I want to be a better person than that. Although I have many weapons to choose from, I select humor as my sword.

Don’t learn SQL. Instead, it would be more useful to start off by learning about:.1. I/O hierarchy.2. Indexing, e.g. B-trees vs. hash indices.3. Process model.4. Hardware codesign and column-oriented databases.
