Why do you think you have an edge over your competition? Since the poll mechanism doesn't allow one to choose multiple items and I am sure people will not want to just pick one, I will just ask people to reply and say which ones are important for them.
1. you invented / validated a completely novel strategy
2. your strategy is generally known but difficult to implement by most
3. your strategy is known but not widely used
4. above average back-testing abilities allowed you to find parameters that work
5. you stumbled on a unique combination of known strategies / parameters that you think not many have found
6. you can identify patterns better than anyone else
7. you can execute faster than others even with a normal internet connection
8. you can execute more consistently everyday compared to others
9. you have better money / risk management than others
10. you can stay calm and never make mistakes under pressure
11. you developed and use a novel computational or graphical tool that gives you an edge
12. you have better math skills than most and developed a quant strategy
13. you have a way faster connection than most
14. you use multiple strategies and know when to switch better than others
15. you have more trading capital than most
16. you have better commission and broker execution than most
17. you have access to better data than most
18. none of the above but I have an edge (please reply and explain)
19. none of the above, trading is not that hard, you don't need a huge edge
20. being slightly above average in several of the above gives me an edge
