Quote from sheda:
Those strategies are not designed to be used by individual traders, the capital requirements to hire hundreds of people, design and run these systems price the majority out of the market. Does this prove quantitative trading is the only real method of trading? Or is this simply a case of quantitative trading being the best and currently the most advanced frame work for institutions to employ Vast amounts of capital in the financial markets.
Is trading new? Did the market not exist before hundreds of PhDs could be hired to create systems for a single firm? The answer is obvious and its obvious from your posting you have never made it in this market on your own.
You may have worked at a firm yet you are expecting us to believe you, on your own, are running systems that required the firm to hire hundreds of PhDs to design and run?
Thanks for the laugh.
