https://www.kite.com/ does this too, claiming 47% less keystrokes. They are a good benchmark to set for seeing how efficient the model can get.

from the ask-hn dept.

Anyone have good references on using MCS for options trading? Preferably implemented in Python or R, and not using the Black-Scholes equation for pricing.

I can look into it. I work in the Trade and Commercial office of UAE Embassy in DC so I think some helpful information could come from this.

I actually just did this for myself. I don't have many expenses (rent, phone bill, some lunches, a few hardware purchases) but I would advice setting up an LLC/c-corp/s-corp on something like LegalZoom (or competitor) then open a business banking account for that c-corp. You then give that business banking info to whoever is paying you. Then you pay yourself from the business account. My bank (FVC) even lets me pay bills directly from the business banking account. I also use a very simple spreadsheet to track income, expenses, and salary.
