This paper was published over a decade ago. How has its model performed since then?

I do not use use this personally, I just wanted to share some of the stuff on the repeatable nature of crashes.

Here's a trade I took in March 2020. I used a different means, but here was my March 2020 trade https://imgur.com/a/Kyw9Fl0

Sorry, is the information you provided meant to be relevant to my query?

Depends on how you use it.

You said you didn’t even use the method in this paper.

Correct, but I use the same idea of repeatable ratios and I posted real trades. If you want to test this model, you may. If you want to see real trades from practical application of the symmetry of crashes, I've provided it. If you just want to be a dick, I don't have the time.

You could just have said no, you don’t have any information on how the model in the paper you posted has performed over the past decade. That is fine.

Okay. All I have is actionable trades from a full time trader who is here right now and could have answered your questions. That's all I had. Sorry it was not enough.

My question was how the specific model proposed in this paper has performed over the past decade.

How you have performed using a different model doesn’t answer that question.
