Best fitting probability distribution for individual equity price changes @Gracchus: if a question has been closed as off topic there's little point in using comments to squeeze an answer out of the community. The question is locked now. |

Best way to store hourly/daily options data for research purposes @kristine, Freddy: The main site is not the place to engage into heated debates on plagiarism issues. Feel free to use meta.quant.stackexchange.com instead. In any case, please try to stay constructive and avoid personal attacks. |

application of lie groups in finance I've even seen some applications of Lie algebras to option pricing (in the academic literature, needless to say). I'll try to compose an answer over the weekend. |

what are the most common explanations of the January effect? Have you looked at the related wiki article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_effect ? As far as I remember, this and other popular anomalies are discussed in quite a detail in Jeremy Siegel's book. |

What is the optimal strategy when there is an equal chance for gain or loss but the size of the potential gain is larger? @Ray: Thanks for your comments. I cannot give you a precise reference at the moment although this should be rather standard stuff in the theory of portfolio management. You might want to post this as a separate question. |

How do you mix quantitative asset allocation with qualitative views? +1. Good question. How about the 'agnostic average' $w=0.5w^*+0.5\bar{w}$? Just joking. |

What are some of the major quantitative approaches to tactical asset allocation? @ Tal Fishman: Traditionally, the 'big list' questions have been made CW. See e.g. questions quant.stackexchange.com/questions/431/… quant.stackexchange.com/questions/156/… quant.stackexchange.com/questions/141/…. As far as I know, this is also an accepted practice on some other SE sites such as math.se. But probably this needs to be clarified with SE administrators/discussed on meta. |

What are some of the major quantitative approaches to tactical asset allocation? @ Tal Fishman: basically you are asking for a list of models, and there is no such thing as the 'correct' answer to the question. I guess this implies that the question should be made community wiki, no? |

How to estimate probability of default from bond prices? @ SpeedBoots: to get your LaTeX rendered properly, you can just wrap an in-line expression in single dollar signs and a separate equation in double dollar signs. |

What papers have progressed the field of quantitative finance in recent years (post 2000)? @Drew Christianson: Hi, and welcome to the site. Since your question cannot have a unique "correct" answer, I've made it community wiki. |

What position-sizing methods are used in futures trading? Hi dvegadvol, and welcome to the site. It would help if you give some reasons for why you are asking the question. Why exactly are you not happy with the optimal/fractional Kelly criterion? |

If I have a model that gives 10% “probability edge” over random chance, how do I calculate the position size? As stated, the problem has a unique and precisely determined solution. Now, the crucial part of the story is to estimate $\mu$ and $\sigma$ for the specific gambling or investing game one is interested in. |

If I have a model that gives 10% “probability edge” over random chance, how do I calculate the position size? Have you looked at the Wikipedia article I had linked to? The position size is determined by the expected payoff $\mu$ and its volatility $\sigma$. Roughly speaking, a Kelly player bets $\mu/\sigma^2$ of their capital at each opportunity. |
