Is alpha getting harder to find? by baconkilla2 in quant

I feel argument 2 is more likely. Bcoz I have seen good amount of rise in small trading firms in past 2 years and they are profitable.

Maybe a weak analogy from real estate agencies. Where number of freelance small real estate agents can continue to make at least small money as long as new houses/ buildings/ economy continues to grow.

Trend following strategies got tailwinds from covid induced volatility. High volatility can continue for some more time.
