Understanding Market Makers || Optiver Realized Volatility Kaggle Challenge

Today we look at the Optiver Realized Volatility Kaggle Challenge and the role of market makers in financial markets. On this channel, over the next two months we will be completing this competition and attempting to provide an accurate methodology for predicting realized volatility over a 10-minute trading window. In this first video, first we look at some advice from Robbert Pullen (an Optiver Trainer) with regards to financial markets and marker making. The complete video link is provided below the video timeline, this was created by @Optiver Europe. We will then consider how we can place option prices in the marketplace into perspective, are they high or are they low? One visual method of considering our option price marketplace is to create a graph of a Historical Volatility Cone and compare this to Implied Volatility in financial markets (offered by Market Makers). I have used the same methodology as provided by a link in StackExchange (link below), and have replicated this for the ASX200 index.

What is Delta Hedging || Dynamic Delta Hedging like a Quant || Profit & Loss Options Trading

Today we look at hedging options from a quant’s perspective. In this video we look at the difference in Profit and Loss (P&L) with three different strategies: dynamic delta hedging, static delta hedging and no delta hedging. Delta hedging is a way to reduce directional risk of the underlying to your options positions by transacting in the money markets (bank account) and the underlying (stocks/futures/etfs/index). By continually adjusting in the underlying and bank account, we can effectively replicate the changes in payoff of the ‘new’ option contract. Essentially instead of betting on the direction at one time spot (on entry) we are now making a series of bets at different levels. Hopefully in this video the importance and relevance of realized volatility becomes apparent and hence why market marking firms like Optiver are so keen on forecasting realized volatility as accurately as possible. ★ ★ Code Available on GitHub ★ ★ GitHub: https://github.com/TheQuantPy Specific Tutorial Link: https://github.com/TheQuantPy/youtube-tutorials/blob/8e64e19629cee840928b51baf4660e5c777e87e7/2021/003%20Jul-Sep/2021-08-03%20What%20is%20Delta%20Hedging%20_%20Dynamic%20Delta%20Hedging%20like%20a%20Quant%20_%20Profit%20_%20Loss%20Options%20Trading.ipynb 00:00 Intro 00:22 What is Delta Hedging? 01:40 Importance of Realized Volatility 02:00 Real world examples 03:56 Full worked example: Short CBA Nov 102 Call 06:40 Looking at P&L over 1000 trades 07:45 P&L distributions for different hedging strategies Introduction to financial markets and instruments - Kaggle edition: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRlRArEpJUc6fdGfeokVWg Optiver Realized Volatility Kaggle Challenge: https://www.kaggle.com/c/optiver-realized-volatility-prediction/overview ★ ★ QuantPy GitHub ★ ★ Collection of resources used on QuantPy YouTube channel. https://github.com/thequantpy ★ ★ Discord Community ★ ★ Join a small niche community of like-minded quants on discord. https://discord.com/invite/aY2Af4CxHP ★ ★ Support our Patreon Community ★ ★ Get access to Jupyter Notebooks that can run in the browser without downloading python. https://www.patreon.com/quantpy ★ ★ ThetaData API ★ ★ ThetaData's API provides both realtime and historical options data for end-of-day, and intraday trades and quotes.

Market Makers || Payment for Order Flow Explained || Market Maker and Exchange Incentives

The Wall Street Journal published an article on 31st October named ‘How Robinhood Cashes in on the Options Boom’, this inspired me to investigate Payment for Order Flow further. According to Bloomberg the 11 largest U.S. retail brokerages collected $2.2 billion for selling customers options orders. Payment for order flow (PFOF) is the compensation and benefit a brokerage firm receives for directing orders to different parties for trade execution (Investopedia, 2021). In this video we look at PFOF for Robinhood in Q3 2021 and the 4 largest brokerage firms in the world: TD Ameritrade, E Trade, Fidelity and Charles Schwab.

Valuation: A Preview
04:59

Valuation: A Preview

This is a short introduction to the valuation class that I teach at Stern and it lays out the five themes that run through the class. First, valuation is not a science (with precision as an end game) or an art form (where you can do whatever you want). It is a craft. Second, valuation is universal and its principles cover all types of businesses, public or private, small or large and across the life cycle (from start up to decline). Third, the value of an asset is driven by different forces and can yield a different number than the pricing of that same asset. Fourth, valuations don't come from spreadsheets, but represent a marriage of stories and numbers; one without the other can lead you astray. Finally, valuation is pragmatic and requires action; if you are unwilling to act on your valuations, why bother? The MBA and undergraduate valuation classes are identical and you can take either, or if you want to torture yourself, both. Each week, we will have two sessions, 75-80 minutes long, and the recordings will show up on the playlist for the class, with links to slides, a start of the class test and a post class test. (I could tell you taking this class online will cost you nothing, and that is technically true, but it will take up a significant chunk of your time, albeit on your terms.)

Session 5: Equity Risk Premiums

We started the class by completing the last loose ends on risk free rates, before turning our attention to equity risk premiums and what they purport to measures. We looked at historical risk premiums and their limits and then extended the discussion to estimate equity risk premiums for countries without much historical data. If you want to look at the historical returns on stocks, bills, bonds, real estate and gold in the United States, you can get the historical data at: https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/pc/datasets/histretSP.xlsx We will come back talk about alternatives to historical risk premiums in the coming sessions. If you are interested in seeing what the equity risk premiums look like, by country, take a look at the spreadsheet at the link below: https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/pc/datasets/ctryprem.xlsx On the riskfree rate front, try these two posts that I have on the topic, one to negative risk free rates and other to the Fed’s power (or lack of it) to set rates. Here are the links to those: 1. https://aswathdamodaran.blogspot.com/2016/03/negative-interest-rates-unreal.html?m=0 2. https://aswathdamodaran.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-fed-and-interest-rates-lessons-from.html Start of the class test: https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/pdfiles/eqnotes/tests/CountryRisk.pdf Slides: https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/podcasts/valUGspr23/session5slides.pdf Post class test: https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/pdfiles/eqnotes/postclass/session5Atest.pdf Post class test: https://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~adamodar/pdfiles/eqnotes/postclass/session5Asoln.pdf

Ten Great Investors Share the One Lesson They Would Teach the Average Investor

When we started Excess Returns, we stayed away from having a standard closing question for guests because we couldn’t come up with one that summed up the knowledge of our guests into something simple that your average investor could understand. But a little over a year ago, we came up with a question that we thought worked perfectly. If our goal was to help investors learn along with us, then it made the most sense to ask our guests the most important lesson they had learned themselves. So we finally settled on our standard closing question: Based on your experience in markets, if you could teach one lesson to your average investor, what would it be? Since we started asking the question, we have received some amazing answers and we thought it would be interesting to take a look at some of the best ones. Here are the top 10 lessons our guests would teach your average investor. ABOUT THE PODCAST Excess Returns is an investing podcast hosted by Jack Forehand (@practicalquant) and Justin Carbonneau (@jjcarbonneau), partners at Validea. Justin and Jack discuss a wide range of investing topics including factor investing, value investing, momentum investing, multi-factor investing, trend following, market valuation and more with the goal of helping those who watch and listen become better long term investors.

In this episode, we are going to try something a little different. Our goal at Validea is to capture quantitative strategies that work over the long-term. To do that, we go through books and academic papers to find factor-based models with results to back them up. We are going to periodically do some episodes for the podcast where we do a deep dive into these strategies and look at the factors behind them. In the first episode, we will take a detailed look at our strategy based on Warren Buffett, which was extracted from the book Buffettology. But before we look at the strategy's criteria in detail, we start with a more basic question: Can Warren Buffett be quantified?

Warren Buffett is one of the greatest investors of all time. He has also been very generous in sharing the lessons he has learned over his career with all of us. There are many things all of us can and should learn from Buffett. But despite that, there are also many lessons that investors should not learn from what Buffett does. Like all investors, many of the things Buffett does are the result of his own unique situation. The majority of investors also have substantially smaller portfolios than Buffett and much shorter time frames. In this episode, we look at some lessons that investors should not learn from Warren Buffett.

The History of Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett with Adam Mead

There have been hundreds of books written about Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway. So it rare for a book come out that does something that none of the others have. But a new book coming out in April does exactly that by offering the first full chronological history of Berkshire Hathaway, from the period prior to Buffett all the way to the current day. In this episode, we talk to Adam Mead, the author of The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway: A Chronological Analysis of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger's Conglomerate Masterpiece. We discuss: - The origin story that brought Buffett together with Berkshire; - Buffett's best and worst investments, and his best investment you probably haven't heard about; - The key traits that led to Buffett's success; - What it is like to attend the Berkshire annual meeting. We hope you enjoy the discussion. #warrenbuffet #charliemunger #berkshirehathaway The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway: A Chronological Analysis of Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger's Conglomerate Masterpiece: Mead, Adam J.: 9780857199126: Amazon.com: Books https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Financial-History-Berkshire-Hathaway/dp/0857199129/ ADAM'S BLOG Home Page - The Oracle's Classroom https://theoraclesclassroom.com/ FOLLOW ADAM ON TWITTER Adam J.
