Martingales

Fair game math.

Visualizing...

Our institutional research engineers are currently mapping the formal proof for Martingales.

The Formal Theorem

E[X|F] = X

Analytical Intuition.

Martingale is the definition of a Fair Game. Best guess for future value is current value. Center of mass of future possibilities stays level. Backbone of risk-neutral pricing.

CAUTION

Institutional Warning.

Doesn't mean it can't move wildly; it just means it can't move predictably.

Academic Inquiries.

What is a Sub-martingale?

A process that grows on average?like a productive economy.
