  1. Regrets are for losers. :confused:
    life is all about making choices. we all constantly have to choose. -- no point in reflecting back in what coulda, shoulda been. there is no right or wrong choice...the choice we made is the choice we made.

    Life is free will. -- it's not like we had a gun to our head, and our choices were made for us.

    It's not amazing...It's really good as Rachmaninov is trading short/medium term ag spreads( Real market calls not microstructure or latency edge ) but not amazing as the type of retarded results some scalpers or HFTs get. He probably drove a 20 K account to 500000 K in 4 years and got a 30% DD to get there...Definitely good but not unheard of...:)

    You won't do 30%/yr with 10MM and your AIs won't want that much vola, even at this level of investment. It's hard to sell a 3 Sharpe when you're risking 30% peak to trough. Especially in ags. Just IMO.

  4. I know that you are right but I dont understand why they think like that. If they dont like this vol, they just put 33% of the capital in the funnd and 66 % in bonds and they get 10 % vol/10 % drawdown.
    And they pay less fees on average...

  5. Yeah, scalpers can do much more than 100 %/year
    What seem really difficult is to make 100 %/year when you have billions

  7. :D -- it's definitely very rare, but it happens.
    (But most likely the people who make claims about it are full of it or they are only telling half truths.)
