if i had to guess, id say 99% of hedge fund strategies are a complete sham, they simply have no edge

You suffer from a misunderstanding what a hedge fund strategy is and what it is not. A hedge fund manager employing a strategy can have an edge, the edge is not the strategy.

A hedge fund strategy is usually an approach based on criticism of efficient market theory. Google 'value investing', 'carry trade' or 'convertible arbitrage'. Don't mistake them for edges.

You don't understand how market works,do you?Take daily data from 2009 and count from open to close consecutive up days and down days.You wouldn't earn shit!Buy and hold trend following doesn't work,wake fkn up!The only way to make any decent money by carrying over the position is to use some sort of a cycling strategy.But then you have to adjust it according to the trend to avoid any serious troubles.For the intraday trading you'd need even MORE money!!!Or you can continue to make your 500$ your doing now.

As for intraday trading, even $500 per contract can be not bad at all so I don't complain. :p

Not talking about that particular trade here, my bread and butter is intra-day stuff. But buy and hold no doubt can provide an edge if one possesses abilities to read fundamental context well.
