I’d amend that by substituting should to would. Being shitty is as contagious as being kind. It just takes some practice in whichever one enjoys being.
Brays the ogre. Try to read any of the ad hominem attacks and try not to ignore. Go on, have the last bitter word.
No doubt on spot being the principal vs futures being the hedge for large money and which follows which.... With short term systems I mainly look at speed of volume and what it does to price. Doesn't really matter if it was arbitrage or initiative or responsive buying/selling. I know nothing about options but I would imagine that when volatility comes in it just presents opportunities. I view speed of volume in a similar way - it creates opportunities.
You sound like Trump. What you tell is true and what others tell is fake. LOL. What was the return on the funds you managed? Because all the rest is BS. That's maybe a question that might expose how "good" you were. You also never mentioned how much AUM you had from these funds. 1% of these 200MM? Reminds me of the mouse and the elephant. They were running thru the desert and the mouse said: we make a lot of dust, don't we? You were the mouse.
