The size of trades mentioned in the book is ridiculous. Is he a good trader, or just someone without any risk management?

What were you doing on August 4, 2011? Our erstwhile hero made $4,100,000 trading futures from his childhood bedroom.

Bought and read this whole book and I am still not sure I get it. A bit more a crime tale than a trading tutorial.

Was he a cheat? Or was it a necessary software bump to compete with high speed traders? And was he ALWAYS a scalper? A 1 - 3 hour hold on a trade is swing trading to me in futures.

Apparently his broker “limited” him to a max of 2,000 contracts. OMG

The ISV that wrote Sarao's front-end enabled Sarao to show size up to 50x his actual size.

He piled up $75,000,000 by his early 30s.

Got the book end last week and read it over weekend. Worth the twenty or so dollars.

Spoiler alert: Sarao wasn't presented as the sole cause of crash.
