Traders Are Finally Getting Recognized

they provide liquidity on downtrends when in reality in the real world..you would have no bids..they put bids on the other side to provide short term liquidity like so they need low interest rates.

in real market you have 100,000 shares on the ask and 5000 shares on the bid in downtrend. and buyers get taken out one by one in downtrend and you cannot sell large blocks into the market.



Quote from ShoeshineBoy:

Here's another link from today that decries the fact that " on any given day, 50% to 70% of stock trading is probably done using a quant strategy of some form." This guy hates quants (and traditional traders) as well as he considers them noise and doesn't realize they're supplying the liquidity he needs for his long term trades. But, nevertheless, he's recognizing them:

Trading is very hard job unless you have top quant skills and strategies that ride on the volume of movement. Only big houses can afford constant number cruching and Ivy league Phds creating new models and strategies. If you are recommending trading on own account to a new college grad, then you are sending him/her to some rough experiences....95% of the times.
