    Rest assured, there are people here making more than I and/or for less risk than I take.

    Order entry is manual, always.
    I use APIs for live data and calculations.
    I do not day trade, and hold for 2-6 months.
    Event driven investing and arbitrage.

    For such strategies, it may be hard to achieve such consistent return stream of 10k a day. Are you referring to average over the year? Any delta hedging involved for your strategies?

    What's the risk capital involved?
    & performance characteristic like sharpe, sortino, calmar?

    You are correct in being sceptical and I am right in being private here. I have nothing to sell and will not be raising money from investors (not very ambitious).

    I am not that tech minded nor interested in execution speed or automation. I try to make the best with whatever is available, namely IBKR tools exclusively.
    The only other thing I use is a little tool called QuiteRSS to track announcements.
    I spend my days reading SEC fillings instead.
