please exclude Arb and highly technical based edge
this thread only focuses on trend and mean reversion
envisage the following
You and I use the same edge
we clog up the orders at price 100
price reaches 100
our market orders execute driving the price up 10 20 30 points
suddenly in 1 second, price is beyond our target, we automatically enter sell orders
price drops 10 20 30 points
we all made 5 points each which was our target
we can all use the same edge
sure trading like this would be strange but we could do it
