Goshawk Trades(@GoshawkTrades):jim simons built the most profitable hedge fund in history. this is him at mit in december 2010, a year after he retired. 15 years on it is still the video I go back to most. he walks through why he stopped trading on judgment and went 100% models in 1988, and what he thought the actual secret was. the line that stuck with me: "if you're going to trade using models, you just slavishly use the models. you do whatever the hell it says, no matter how smart or dumb you might think it is at that moment." clipped my favourite parts here.
