Clearly access to cash governments, carry trades and the like can be edges that retail (and many prop firms) do not have. But to equate that to PA not being profitable is absurd. One does not need a full range of edges to be profitable and a retail trader can determine if keeping 100% , enjoying his independence and keeping the props greedy freakin' hand off his method is preferred to getting more professional access. He simply may not need it.
You could not provide evidence of your claimed hedgefund edge surf for obvious reasons, however you can explain it, you have mentioned dark pools giving an edge in the past is that what you are refering to? But how are you running your trades through their books?
You and surf lecturing people how to trade profitably? Both of you guys are net negative in your et calls... massively and all the guys here know this. This place has turned in to one loon after another espousing BS.
You are misunderstanding. I was invested into a fund. I can't replicate their edge but am smart enough to recognize it. Join a good prop firm for dark pool access. surf
Cheers for the advice, I dont misunderstand. You claimed to have an edge that allows you to do what you want when you want, this then develops into you were, not are, invested in a fund (which would amount to the most accessible edge there is and nothing to shout about - and it does not let you do what you want - you are a third party in that situation) then this develops into you are smart enough to recognize it yet can not replicate it. Do you have an edge You employ or not.
No, this particular fund would not be accessible to you for several reasons. Secondly, I am working on developing the Price Drivers into an actual real edge( will see by end of year if they continue to work) So your answer is not currently can i say for certainty ,other than information gleaned from hard study , do I have an exploitable edge .
Its the otherway around, no fund manager has access to my money, my caring on the issue does not extend to considering their entry policies and all of the above is beside the point. Effectively buying a fund manager and their edge is common and open to all including mum and pop, the market is Huge, this is hardly worth a mention never mind in a topic about traders edges. You will never have an edge with price drivers due to your inflexible pychology and erratic trade managment, find a consistent trader and learn how its done. Your price drivers seemed to break down the other week but everything needs a tweak..tweak tweak!
you can detect from ta,either or,if we go up res is possible target,if down,supp is possible target,without the charts you dont have that info,why not take advantage of it,it's an edge
