Project Kalpathy

A tight narrative from informed trading to optimal liquidation, with exercises and sanity checks at each step.

TheoryNotesOpen research

Context

Strong demand from applicants and junior quants for a single thread that connects information asymmetry to executable schedules — without skipping measure-theoretic hygiene where it matters.

Approach

  1. Rebuild Kyle with notation fixed once; highlight where linearity assumptions bite.
  2. Derive AC with risk terms explicit; map parameters to observable desk quantities where possible.
  3. Add “red team” boxes: where the model lies, and what practitioners do instead.

Outcomes

  • Living document used in mentorship and reading groups.
  • Problem sets with full worked solutions for core lemmas.
