Is this because these strategies don't scale well, or is there another reason?
- alimw 7y agoI guess some strategy might work only on a small scale because a larger volume would move the market. But I am suspicious of this claim (3). On the other hand there are certainly strategies viable for companies but not for individuals because they require super-fast connections and/or low trading cost per unit volume.
- nl 7y agoHigh frequency trading requires a rapid connection. However, that is only one strategy and there are numerous trading strategies which work on the minutes or hours scale and are very achievable by a single person.
