trading conf / bund. that spead cost most locals everything about 2 years ago. it is not a spread it is 2 outrights. my opinions on spreads is that in this current algo dominated market nothing is correlated. most correlated spreads are having larger ranges than the outrights. anyone trying to fade spreads is a sitting duck for algos. they just wait for the fade and squeeze regardless of historical ranges.
Hi everyone! As far as I know Rotter was a profitable trader before 2004 , I mean , before flipping. So , If that's true and he earned 8 figures working in Midas , greenhouse...what the hell he made for get those numbers?? Because I think he couldn't manipulate the order book in those times , so , did he just watched the order book or used graphics too? ( I just want to know something between 1998 - 2004 ) Sorry my english Thank u very much folks!
what is Paul Rotter doing now? he seems pretty low profile, but if he's still making 50-60mm each year he must be approaching the 1 bln mark? what a boss...
He is running his own investment firm in Switzerland. You can give him a call, the number is in the contact info....
I can't see that if he's trading the same strategy he did as an independent on Eurex and Liffe. Not even remotely close IMHO. Off the top, an algo designed to flip the order book is like Algo 101. I hoped he saved some $$$ and is doing something else.
There is no proof he was actually making €50m/year. If you check Greenhouse capital management annual report from 1998 to 2001 you'll see profits of about €10-15m, but not five times that amount. By the way, profits at then Midas weren't €50m neither.
