Maybe this is the beginning of "Twitch Trading". If ppl like seeing other ppl playing video games, trading stocks/futures could find an audience. The question is what would be the incentive for a competent trader/algo to let ppl see it's trades.
- brahmwg 9y agoAs far as I know eToro already allows users to copy other traders strategies. The incentive for the trader to allow others to copy their strategy is likely some % gain based on the number of copyers, so if you develop a successful trading strategy and allow others to profit off it, you also profit. Just a hunch.

- gricardo99 9y agowhat would be interesting though, but much more of a niche, would be if some successful quant traders did an in-depth review of some "alpha" or strategy they ran some time ago, which is no longer profitable. They could discuss their tools, analysis , trading metrics, performance, and some discussion of why the strategy stopped working. It would give a good window into the work-flow and skills required to do this successfully. Even if it's retrospective, going back a few years.
