True, but errors compound faster the shorter your trades, and leverage is more commonly used in short term trading. So precision has to be greater. Also the very short trading intervals cannot accommodate very much volume so your trading timeframe must evolve as your trading capital grows.

After Bill Ackman's debacle with Valeant, I'm not sure that always applies. I'm inclined to cut most stocks if a scandal hits it. In the consumer staples example, I can think of the poor performance of cigarette companies during the lawsuits of the lat 1990's.

You have to figure it out, because no one is going to give it you. If it is published in a study, the odds are it won't work or the edge is too cyclical to be valuable on a regular basis.

There are much better long term stock strategies.

How many shares were you able to short on that trade?

As I recall the advantage of a CTA over a CPO is that the regulatory fees are cheaper (haven't looked at this recently) whereas having one single trading strategy with a CPO makes trade execution more...

Pondering whether or not to even consider managing a non-exempt CPO. Aside from the funding, these are my main concerns: I do not want to miss out on any trading opportunities while commuting to an office, thus I'd prefer to trade from home if it doesn't violate any CPO regulations. I also...

But the sustainability of their business is their trading success. Many of them now run family offices with just their own money generating 20% per annum on billions of $s. Paul Tudor Jones generated 5 consecutive years with 100% returns. John Arnold had a 500% year and multiple 100% years...

George Soros, Stan Druckenmiller, David Tepper and John Arnold would beg to differ. They did quite well from trading.

Buying a portfolio of stocks, hedging with stock index futures, and speculating on currency moves in the fx market. It's all in George Soros's first book.
