In a world where 15% per year puts you ahead of the game in the HF industry, what do you think of the following chart? All traders have lofty ideas of high returns, but in reality one should be happy producing 20% consistently. It seems that shooting for anything higher than 20% will increase your chances of a blowup. Feel free to comment on or modify this chart.
et traders are special. no one loses here. the biggest problem seems to be how to set up trading offshore so they can hide their huge gains.
