  1. I would like to know for those profitable hedge fund, are they apply similar strategies to different market? I think if a strategy works in an asset, there must be limitation on scaling up. So that they are doing multiple assets.

    Depends on asset traded.
    Forex can be done for 100M to 1Bn in a single trade without much issue.
    Index futures also really liquid.
    Small stocks will have issue
     
  3. all liquid markets can be scaled.

    More liquid = more people willing to buy or sell at any moment. Therefore you dont have to wait long to get filled.
     
  4. I think Forex is easily scaled, do to its high liquidity.
     
  5. i use interactive broker. can anyone tell me the most liquid exchange for forex? and what is the symbols? I am new to forex. i guess forex is trading forex itself? so don't have something like contract expiry like futures?
