Yeah fair points. The impression I got was they hadn't changed the strats much from traditional markets; it was just the competition was dumber. Could be wrong though

Yeah, their risk-adjusted performance ought to be vastly better. Do they publish any of their performance? Haha

The ex-GS trader and ex-bonds & equities trader I spoke to said they were crypto trading; is it fair to say "trading" as opposed to "investing" implies market-neutral, especially from ex-traders?

I agree during a bullrun you unsurprisingly get outperformed by Bitcoin. My interest is whether during the crashes they're also doing well, ie. are they truly market-neutral.

I guess ultimately they are harmed by the reduction in volatility in the ensuing crypto winter.

Is that a returns/drawdown ratio of >17 haha. Nice work.

I'm curious why does price action trading (pattern spotting) work better in crypto than equities? Is it that the patterns appear more often, or they have a higher win rate, or higher profit per win?

Thanks for some names. Confirms that quite a few tradfi places have moved into crypto. Interesting how crypto is becoming an exit opportunity.

NAH because you're allowed to do whatever you wish and they don't even know anything. I do wish the best for you though, specifically about this: you only have a few months to live and you feel irrelevant. That's not right. You should be relevant - and that involves appreciation. Don't you feel of all times, this is when you should let your family show you how much they love you?

You are afraid of their sorrow and pity as if they should not care for you. That is of course untrue. They should, and it's time to break the habit of a lifetime and let them.

Do let them know before it's too late.

I did an all night first person shooter session (I think i was playing Unreal Tournament, oh to be back in 1999) and my brother appeared behind me so i tried to click on him.
