lol, damn the truth hurts. But don't the 5% winning traders donate, like, 95% of their winnings? It's probably kind of like how Trump donates his president salary?
Well, I agree and disagree. There are profitable traders out there, so I'm certain there are profitable systems. However, I do agree that if the system is so profitable, why would anyone want to sell it?
I honestly don't mean to overly slam you on your statement. It's nothing personal. But as a Junior Partner at a Closed Equities Prop firm? Your post literally sparked a journal, to demonstrate how almost every statement you made ... is false. I'm going to demonstrate a process, live, in real-time, that has been printing money, for as long as there has been an options market. It definitely can be worked back 12 years. Data Scientists, literally make the worst traders. I don't mean anything personal by that statement. I really don't. But my Senior Partner, was trained by a ridiculously talented Quantitative Strategy Architect. And what you're just saying ... is wrong. Data Scientists, make HORRIBLE traders. Only followed, by Spreadsheet-Guru's. Again, nothing personal? But you need to be shown, for your own good ... that you don't have it all figured out. The journal, can be found here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...egy-trading-journal-that-shows-profit.337303/
I've run across them before mate. The are people that seem to try to make trading work, by getting a "spreadsheet" formula correct. Saw one guy? I swear to God, he had like 48 different Spreadsheet tabs going at any one time. Pulling down live market data. Couldn't make a dime. But dear God, did he have some beautiful looking spreadsheets.
