Citadel isn't making the bulk of their alpha from simply finding an edge, its making trades in dark pools based on trade information they receive for executing trades. The individual trader won't be able to make trades at the speed required when finding small price discrepancies, nor would they have the capital to really earn anything.
- affyboi 3y agoCitadel securities is the market maker, Citadel is the hedge fund and doesn’t have access to data from the other side
- SturgeonsLaw 3y agoDid they pinky promise not to access the data or are there some actual barriers in place?

- worik 3y ago> It being illegal seems like a pretty big barrier to me. That speaks volumes about your integrity. Good on you! But it is not true.
- User3456335 3y agoI wouldn't be so sure about that. Also, even if people cross the barrier it doesn't mean it is not there or isn't big. But thanks for the compliment!
