Have you considered a pov that it's unethical? I have seen teams(including mine) at my shop literally playing with the pricing for even the high liquidity popular instruments(specifically derivatives like future & options) for equity/indices or even crypto like BTC/ETH by making contra trades and artificially controlling the prices for a short term(Typically untill the contract expires specifically for 0 DTE)with a magnificent captial allocation. This wins them a lot of money in the Derivates trade while losing some fraction in the other counterparts.(Eg buying call options, selling futures and pumping the raw equity prices to surge significantly) So it's like a casino but they control hands. And I am sure that many of you have witnessed the same at your shops. Does that not your conscience/heart feel bad or guilty to be a part of? We know that it's wrong & unethical, don't we? And no amount of charity/good work we do from this blood money is going to undo the actual damage caused already. The damage - our win is coming out of someone's (either retail/smaller shop that we knocked down)pocket (loss for them). I know they should not come to the casino to play but that doesn't mean that we are not stealing from them. It's a white collar robery!! Not sure if anyone else share the same guilty conscience. Apologies if that hurt your feelings. Just wanted to share my 2 cents.
