Trading and Gaming: Any thing to learn from gaming?

Could the fact that they spend $$$ on PhDs be there weakness?

 

Citadel and Virtu are happy to fill your order.

 

Of course not. RenTech makes billions every year with their PhDs. Being smarter, working harder, doing more analysis, etc. usually pays when you deal with markets. Hire smart people.

I got more out of Bridgewater info;
but looks like RenTec has done a bit more with less workers. REIF maybe did less than Bridgewater, but 2021 is not over yet.............................................Pinball really made no differeance, pool hall maybe helped a bit but nothing like the stock/ ETF market.

 

You need a good broker ( Futures) for that to avoid wide spreads/slippage etc.

SURE can be;
some times it stands for''phenominal dud'' as one PHD warned.
But in their case it may have helped.....................................,

 

I believe gaming has it's merits where you become more automatic in decision making, become faster. But you have to have a Trading Plan well detailed and memorized otherwise becoming faster will not help.

I use to play speed chess, make a move every 10 seconds, so very much like scalping.

 

I believe that high level gaming skills are quite helpful to a trader. Having said that - I don't think that a trader with a gaming skill-set is an automatic winner per se. But it certainly doesn't hurt.
