As far as my experience goes, you need real intelligence not artificial intelligence to generate consistent alpha.

In similar vein...
Addition and subtraction (general accounting) - and not derivatives... or crazy math.
Realizable returns and paths - not distribution of random guesses...
Moments in time - not fixed or random intervals of engagement...
Real time constraint focused - not theoretical...
All about the forest (aggregate account of people's bets) Not every tick or quotes...
Real decisions from start to finish (tree of decision outcomes) - not about predicting...
Breaking and finding problems (past, present, future) - not ego stroking with fitting and/or backtesting
We are active in the derivative space but 2020 alpha all generated without a single utterance of "Greeks"
All human, time consuming efforts, no gimmicks.
Finally, alpha generated with no sales / IR / PR involved.
ps. If you're going to tell investors that the firm's "model" or "strategy" is "sensitive" to [insert random var] - thus justifies why you ended up subpar or down - that's not acceptable.
Market friction, thieves, technical difficulties, etc. are all things you have to overcome. This is business - like all other businesses. Thin/fragile margin - is not alpha.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.

The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
