What is this and how is it calculated? Great question, but it's not a "one size fits all" situation. What's being expressed is how option traders' collective actions can be fitted into a price estimate for the movement expected in the shares once the event driving the option premiums is announced. For instance, in front of Food and Drug Administration (Fda announcements, a typical s...

Rhoads The Kalman filter is a two-stage algorithm that assumes there is a smooth trendline within the data that represents the true value of the market before being perturbed by market noise.

According to modern financial engineering principles, market data such as this is considered to be Brownian motion, which means that the daily price changes form a white-noise process. White noise is a r...

• Q&A by Don Bright

  ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Q&A by Don Bright FROM DON: TRADERS' PERSONALITIES Recently, I was asked about new traders' success.
