The best traders in ET

Quote from bwolinsky:

This is total bullshit. Nobody has ever done this. And no one will ever do it.

It is only a theory that has never been done.

In much the same way as a Giffen good which creates more demand as it rises in price and so named by the theoretician who described and just the same, only a theory that never happens in real life.

Whatever you say. I've done it myself, so yes, it's very possible and realistic - a hint of which tools the person used and read about their trading style, that helps.

If you want to take a significant position relative to the offer size, any competition in your direction is unwelcome and simply would erode your edge and result in slippage. I'm not talking about 1-10 lot ES traders here.
 
10:02 XXXXXXX: aapl still a dog, look for <500


This was my post in a public forum today. The only call I've made this am. Then reiterated a few times at 503

That's how its done. This on top on my short call near yest high ES rally. Covered that near the lows before the close
 
Assuming this is still a question, these guys are the real deal:

atticus
newwurldmn
sellindexvol99
sle
daal
Ghost of Cutten
martinghoul

First four are mostly options guys, next two mostly stocks, last does interest rates, mostly Europe, by his own admission, from what I remember.
Obviously, not a completely inclusive list.

... One must be delusional if he reveals trades for a significant period, a few bright minds lurk this forum and reverse engineering for them comes with ease.

I'm amazed to find myself in agreement with bwolinsky but on this issue, he's right.

Reverse engineering as a strategy is waaaaay overrated.

And easily disproved:

Take any price chart, mark the tops as your sell points and the bottoms as your buy points, then post it and claim your super trading system produced those results. Anybody successfully reverse engineering your "results" would be creating a holy grail,, and if you think anybody that smart is just hanging out in ET waiting for somebody else to post trades from a successful system, well ...
 
clever but not sure it holds up under scrutiny by a genius like me.

someone who saw all the trades made by a viable system would probably be able to divine something about what was being done.

for instance, I took all the posts by jack hershey on et, ran them through the ubiquitous re constructor , and was able to determine prime entry points for conspicuous gain.
 
You have to have the mathematics of it for there to be any possibility of reverse engineering and this points to hacking and networking fraud or pulled from public domain of theories and analyzed for a number of years while working out strategies acceptable to the community.

Either way, the "clever" part is never I want to reverse engineer Madoff because that's as deconstructive a position to put yourself in and the people that don't start from math have as mythological a task as it can get if they don't have any idea what the other person is doing and that's as concise as I can be about whether reverse engineered strategies get used by hedge funds because they're copies if anything and similar concepts by the other viewpoint.
 
Like I already said, I knew the indicators and methods the person used and managed to have 99% overlap (difficult to get 100% due to possible data discrepancies) based on his C2 trades, this was years ago. That's just what I did, it's possible. Doing it blind would be hard and close to impossible.
