Summary

To reach out to Alf: [email protected] (or Alfonso Peccatiello on BBG) To reach out to Brent: [email protected] (or Brent Donnelly on BBG) In this episode, Alf and Brent discuss the best risk/reward ways to position for the macro environment ahead of us. They then deep dive into option structures around gold, and the question of increasing sample size of trades to reduce PnL variance against the risk of downgrading your edge and expected value per trade when the sample size increases.
