I’ve written hundreds of research articles on the Newfound blog throughout the years. I stopped writing last year (got burnt out), so my guess is a lot of new followers don’t even know they exist. Here are a few that I’m especially proud of ➡️

1/ I received a DM this morning asking me about "recommended reading" in the space of trend following. This all depends upon what you're looking for and your expertise, but I figured I'd share some thoughts publicly...

Let's do dispersion trading for the uninitiated. The vets will need to bear with me, it's been 20 years since i traded index anything...but that actually shows why it's a good thing to explain. The lessons from it come to bear on thinking about all portfolios, even today.

Michael Platt of Bluecrest made 50% in 2016, 54% in '17, 25% in '18 and 50% in '19. Rumored up big in 2020. Per Market Wizards 2012, he averaged 14% years with a 5% max drawdown. When a billionaire trader doubles his profitability, it merits study. A thread of "Plattitudes":

We’ve spent the last couple months building our own option backtesting engine from the ground up (including multiple surface fitting models). Biggest lesson learned so far: Never trust an options backtest. Ever. (Doubly true if it includes the wings.)

While not technically alive, there's an evil genius to viruses that never ceases to amaze me. It's one reason I became a virologist. A recent Nature paper reveal a remarkable trick SARS-Cov-2 learned that makes it nastier than the first SARS. Both viruses…
