Paul Rotter in 2010

Quote from bone:

You know, I met Paul at a Eurex Chrismas party back in 2003 or so and I really liked the guy. He got bad-mouthed relentlessly by locals in the Schatz market but since for me I used the Schatz extensively as a spread leg component I really appreciated the liquidity aspect. Traders were constantly bitching about him at the time but for me the biggest crime against humanity was Liffe limiting the Euribor to 200 FIFO before Pro-Rata order matching kicked in.

trading conf / bund.

that spead cost most locals everything about 2 years ago.

it is not a spread it is 2 outrights.

my opinions on spreads is that in this current algo dominated

market nothing is correlated.

most correlated spreads are having larger ranges than the

outrights.

anyone trying to fade spreads is a sitting duck for algos.

they just wait for the fade and squeeze regardless of historical

ranges.
 
Hi everyone!

As far as I know Rotter was a profitable trader before 2004 , I mean , before flipping.

So , If that's true and he earned 8 figures working in Midas , greenhouse...what the hell he made for get those numbers??

Because I think he couldn't manipulate the order book in those times , so , did he just watched the order book or used graphics too?

( I just want to know something between 1998 - 2004 )

Sorry my english :(

Thank u very much folks!

I can't see that if he's trading the same strategy he did as an independent on Eurex and Liffe. Not even remotely close IMHO. Off the top, an algo designed to flip the order book is like Algo 101.

I hoped he saved some $$$ and is doing something else.
 
There is no proof he was actually making €50m/year. If you check Greenhouse capital management annual report from 1998 to 2001 you'll see profits of about €10-15m, but not five times that amount.

By the way, profits at then Midas weren't €50m neither.
