Right, the analysis is the heavy part. and yes the math guys themselves don't write the code, the coders do that part.
even if the impl can be quite involved, it seems rather strange that someone could make money from very simple strategies? seems to contradict common sense.
- MattPalmer1086 5y agoYou can make money on average with simple strategies because you react faster to signals than the competition. Your order goes in first. You just have to be very fast. I worked at a hedge fund that did a bit of HFT. They mostly took pride though in the fact that they made money using intelligence rather than just being really fast.
