To do this, you use information about it that you think is predictive. And at any point in time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New information is appearing (trades, quotes, events, chatter).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Old information that used to be very important is becoming less so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You use this information to try to create a forecast (explicit or implicit) of how you expect price to move over some future period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To figure out if your forecast is any good, you might get a bunch of observations of your forecast and the price changes in some forward period (let\u2019s say a minute).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you might plot the subsequent returns against the forecast and, ideally, it\u2019d look a bit like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you\u2019ve probably got more observations than usefully fit on a scatter plot, and it\u2019s going to look like a big old blob because market returns are super random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So instead, you\u2019ll do some reduction. You might sort your observations into deciles or centiles or similar and plot mean returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you may need to transform it in some way so that it\u2019s clamped to some range, distributed in a way you understand, and doesn\u2019t go crazy in the tails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all well and good. However,&nbsp;<strong><em>being able to predict short-term returns might not be the win you think it is.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trading is expensive, and it\u2019s even more expensive if you are doing it when&nbsp;<em>you&nbsp;<\/em>want to (rather than someone else).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your forecast signal looks like this, you will have a bad time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be really good at predicting minute-ahead returns, but you don\u2019t actually want to turn over every minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>You can\u2019t afford that.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you\u2019d prefer your signal to be less volatile, more auto-correlated, smoother, like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"921\" height=\"419\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/smoothsignal-robot-wealth.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-237803 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/smoothsignal-robot-wealth.jpg 921w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/smoothsignal-robot-wealth-700x318.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/smoothsignal-robot-wealth-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/smoothsignal-robot-wealth-768x349.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 921px; aspect-ratio: 921\/419;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the first trade-off is between how effective your forecast is versus how auto-correlated your signal is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>You\u2019d prefer a smoother signal over a hyperactive, jumpy one with a slightly higher correlation to future returns.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some things are naturally more auto-correlated&nbsp;<em>(carry, rv signals)<\/em>. Other naturally jumpy signals can be smoothed with EWMAs and the like, which nicely model new information appearing and old information becoming slowly redundant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We can look at this from the other direction, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice of 1 min future returns was arbitrary. We might be making trading decisions on that frequency, but we don\u2019t intend to turn over at that frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we care about how predictive our signal is over longer horizons, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We might calculate the correlation of our signal with future returns over a range of other horizons. And we\u2019d much rather this decayed slowly than quickly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it decays quickly, then it\u2019s going to be very competitive to get in for the good bit. You\u2019re going to need to be fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, if we\u2019re going to trade it successfully after costs, we\u2019re going to have to be sat in positions with zero or very low expected return until we can get out of them cost-effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>So, all things being equal, we\u2019d prefer the slightly less predictive signal that decayed more slowly.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These trade-offs are important and aren\u2019t always easy to navigate and reason about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plot everything \u2013 it pays to understand your signal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep everything as simple as possible, chunk big problems down, and think through things as clearly as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But also understand that, while you might chunk things down and look at them separately, the parts interact in wonderful, confusing ways.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use simulation to explore this as best you can.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thank the market gods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to discuss a couple of simple trade-off
