After the failure of my story telling career, I decided to move to story writing. This note is an attempt at starting my new career. The full text is available as PDF: Profit explain explained

I will be speaking at The Thalesians seminar on SIMM and SA FRTB: double AD Seminar starts at 6:30pm on Wednesday 19 April 2017 at City University Club Champagne will be served before the seminar, around 6:00pm.

The term Algorithmic Differentiation can be explained as ``the art of calculating the differentiation of functions with a computer. Over the last 5 years, AD has made its road to quantitative finance. The most straight forward use of AD is to compute the sensitivity of PV to market inputs. In the frame of SIMM and SA FRTB computation, those sensitivities are the main input and having an efficient way to produce them is important. Once the IM/Capital number is computed, there are a lot of potential analysis which are handy, like marginal IM and IM attribution. Those anal
