Quant X Tribe (Next Level)

🧠 What’s “hidden” in a Hidden Markov Model? Answer: Sentiment. We can’t ask the market, “Are you feeling bullish on Tesla today?” But that hidden mood still drives price — and quants have a way to estimate it. One researcher built a 3-state model: •⁠ ⁠Bullish •⁠ ⁠Neutral •⁠ ⁠Bearish 📊 Using just recent price + volume, the model inferred today’s sentiment and predicted tomorrow’s. Then he ran a live $1,000 test: Ranked 500 S&P stocks Bought the top 10 Held for 1 day ✅ Return: +0.2% That’s 10x better than random selection — and it revealed a clear sentiment cycle. No black box. Just logic. 📬 Want to read the full breakdown? 👉 Click here to read the full strategy Data is King Sizing is everything Sean I do not pm anyone

Hey Tribe, Last week’s deep dive into Hidden Markov Models to detect SPX market regimes got an amazing response — so let’s level up today. 🚀 🔁 Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) — the secret sauce behind many quant breakthroughs. Imagine the market as a massive decision tree. Each day’s SPX move — up 2%, down 1%, flat — opens different “branches” for tomorrow. MCMC maps all those branches, using decades of market data. 📊 Example: If SPX closes +2% today, MCMC might reveal: • 75% chance of mild follow-through • 12.5% chance of sharp reversal • 12.5% chance of big spike This isn’t guesswork — it’s data-powered probabilities. Which means: ✅ Sharper entries ✅ Smarter strategy choice (long calls? hedged spreads?) ✅ Calm confidence, even when VIX surges This is how serious quants build edge: We don’t react. We model forward. ⚙️ Our MCMC-powered QuantBook tool drops this Friday, June 20. 📲 First access goes to those following our Instagram: 👉 @thealpha.q Data is King Sizing is everything — Sean

Hi tribe, Glen and I are in KL for a Quant Training. Quants like Jim Simons made 66% annual returns for 30 years — including +152% during the 2008 crash. One of his secret tools? The Hidden Markov Model (HMM). 🤔 What’s that? It was first used to predict weather using today’s data. In markets, it means using current price and volume to estimate tomorrow’s move — no long history needed. Simons’ team used HMMs to decode hidden market “states” — bull, bear, or sideways — and trade accordingly. 📊 Example (SPX): If SPX is up 2 days in a row, an HMM might say: • 60% chance SPX goes up • 30% chance it stays flat • 10% chance it drops This helps you decide: ✅ Buy ✅ Hold ✅ Stay out ⚙️ We Built One. Using QuantBook, we trained an HMM on SPX to detect next-day regimes. It’s helped us avoid traps and time entries better. Releasing it this Friday, June 20 Drop a 🤖, ❤️👍🔥.. any emoji 500 🤖 = free for all Bonus: We’re also building a mean-reversion bot for volatile markets. Let’s unlock Alpha together. Sean

Hey Tribe, This one’s close to heart. Over the past year, we’ve spoken to so many of you who said the same thing: “I just want a way out… but I don’t know where to start.” So we put something together — something that would’ve changed everything for you This Saturday, we are running a full-day Go-LEAP Jumpstart Workshop. If you’ve been curious about making money online, but: ❌ Don’t want to show your face ❌ Don’t have a product ❌ Don’t know what to post Then this is for you. We’ll cover: ✅ How people are using AI + TikTok to earn daily — even as complete beginners ✅ How to set up faceless content and monetise attention (without filming anything) ✅ How to build a simple commission system — and even walk away with your first one live No theory. No fluff. Just real execution. And yes — there’s up to $5,000 up for grabs by the end of the day. 🗓 Saturday, 14 June ⏰ 10AM–5PM 📍 Zoom (Live, not recorded) 👉 Register here: https://nextlevelacademy.live/sign-up-go-leap-june-jumpstart We don’t have a date for the next run. So if this speaks to you — show up. Let’s Go-LEAP Together.

[The Brainless Way to Boost Portfolio Alpha] Hey Tribe, This might sound cheapskate at first, but hear me out — It’s a method used by top hedge funds and financial institutions to squeeze out extra Alpha from the market. And it’s so simple that most retail traders completely overlook it. You already know: Alpha = your edge. Your ability to beat the market. Most of us focus on building better strategies: higher CAGR, lower drawdown, smarter entries. But what if I told you there’s a brainless way to improve your performance — without changing your strategy at all? Welcome to the concept of: Brokerage Alpha It sounds dumb, but it can literally be worth tens of thousands each year. ——————————————— 2 Ways Brokerages Affect Your Alpha: 1️⃣ Commission Fees Every dollar saved in fees is a dollar added to your net return. That’s why we’ve used IBKR for years — Because their $0.65 per options contract is among the lowest in the industry. Some “zero commission” brokers look good on paper… But add in hidden platform fees, and you’re actually paying $1 or more per contract. Let’s break it down: • Saving just $0.30 per contract • Trading 100 contracts/day • 200 trading days/year = $6,000 saved Now, if you trade spreads (2 legs), that’s $12,000. Iron Condors or Butterflies (4 legs)? That’s $24,000 saved annually. 💡 Lesson: Commissions matter more than you think. ——————————————— 2️⃣ Interest on Uninvested Cash This one’s even sneakier — and even more powerful. As traders, we rarely deploy 100% of our capital. So what happens to the cash just sitting there? With the right broker, you earn interest — often as high as 4%. If you leave $50,000 idle (from a $100k portfolio), that’s another $2,000 per year. And you didn’t even lift a finger. ——————————————— Total "Brokerage Alpha": • Saved on commissions: $6,000–$24,000 • Earned from cash interest: $2,000–$4,000 = Up to $28,000/year ... just from using the right broker. ——————————————— So Why Are We Telling You This? Over the years, many brokerages have approached us — offering referral deals, payouts, all sorts of incentives. We said no to nearly all of them. Because if there’s no Alpha, we’re not recommending it to our tribe. But recently, one brokerage got our attention. ✅ $0.55 per options contract (yes, lower than IBKR) ✅ Up to 4.10% on idle cash ✅ Sleek interface, solid tools, and zero platform fees They didn’t ask us to promote them. They asked if we’d run a training workshop to help users understand how to use the platform. We took our time, did the research — and we’re impressed. So while we do not earn anything if you open an account… We’re inviting you to check it out because we genuinely believe it can boost your Alpha. ——————————————— 🛠 Join our free workshop: If you’re still stuck at the basics — Not sure how to fund your account… Don’t know what button to click… This is where we start. I’m running a FREE 2-part beginner workshop just for you: 🛠 16 June @ 7:30PM – Tech Setup - How to set up and fund your Webull account 📈 17 June @ 7:30PM – Strategy + Execution - How to buy/sell confidently - A simple strategy you can automate - What Call & Put options mean — and how to execute them 🎯 Beginners friendly 👉 Register here: https://rebrand.ly/Stock-Essentials-Workshop Let’s start with clarity — and build confidence from there.

[My Final Workshop ~ Sean] Hey Tribe, This is it. After 20 years of trading my personal account, I’ve signed the contract to launch my very own fund. But... I’ve been informed I can no longer trade my personal account once it is official. That means I can no longer publicly show my trades, or my stock setups. 🥲 So I’m doing one final thing before the official date. I'm hosting two FINAL live Zoom workshops under Next Level Academy, where I’ll share: ✅ The 3 most powerful investing strategies I’ve developed over the last two decades ✅ The exact stock setups I used to grow my portfolio ✅ The real stories behind trades that worked — and the lessons behind those that didn’t This won’t be recorded. There will be no replay. Session 1: Saturday, 7th, 10AM–12PM Session 2: Tuesday, 10th, 7:30PM–9:30PM https://bit.ly/finalsean After this, I’ll be operating fully under the fund. This is my final live open sharing as an independent trader. Cya! Sean Seah I DO NOT DM ANYONE

[How You may Go Broke even when you are winning] Hey Tribe, There’s a formula that tells you exactly how much to risk on each trade. It’s used by hedge funds, blackjack pros, and some of the smartest guys in the game. And it all started with a physics nerd who died broke. 🎬 Just dropped a new case study on The Kelly Criterion How it beat Vegas… built Wall Street… and still left the guy who created it with nothing. Watch here → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJqxjiPQf-M If you want the breakdown of how to actually apply it, watch this one next: 🔧 How the Kelly Criterion works → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY0jN9O65XI&t=13s Don’t trade like a gambler.

[Stock Market’s Up — What Other Opportunities Are There Now?] The stock market has been trending upward over the past few weeks — with the S&P 500 gaining 15.51% just this past month. Sounds great, right? But here’s the thing: When stocks rise quickly, it can mean 2 things — excitement or risk. That’s why, personally, I’ve been focusing more on Gold, an often-overlooked asset during times like these. Last week, Gold had a sharp drop, creating a rare opportunity for traders who were ready. A few of my Genesis Pips Premium students jumped on that move, turning just 2 trades into $6,700 USD. Because unlike the stock market, Gold moves to its own rhythm — and with the right strategy, it can be a powerful way to diversify and protect your portfolio. If you’d like to learn: ✅ Why Gold trading can be a smart complement to stock investing ✅ How to spot strong trade setups in the Gold market ✅ The indicators and strategies we use to trade confidently ✅ What’s next for Gold — and how to prepare for it... I’ll be breaking it all down in a special live session exclusively for this group. 👉 RSVP here to join: nextlevelacademy.live/nlagemliversvp Hope it adds value. See you there. — Julian Yong If you’ve RSVPed, drop a ❤️ below.
