@jsfinancials: Retail quantitative trading is so misunderstood. YOU ARE NOT JANE STREET. STOP TRYING TO TRADE LIKE THEM. #quant #trading #quanttrading #quantitativefinance #daytrading
Alpha decay does not depend on the size of your account bruh, any properly backtested strategy will eventually get priced in. The market always moves with the objective of being efficient and in fair value, this alone is a reason for alpha decay. If you do the same thing over and over in a constantly changing market, it will eventually stop working because the market regime changes, but your strategy doesnt, this applies to retail and institutional trading

Define institutional trader. It’s more about the institutional data bro an institution has 2 red months a year and a green year average retail guy loses there account first 90 days. Alpha decay is real for retail because you get a million people doing the same entry.

You’re so fucking Rigth my friend. I trade both ways, I run an institutional FX desk, and my personal accounts, most of the concepts on institutional do not apply to retail accounts, starting whit the target for every trade. Some institutions buy or sell cause they have to do it every day , for many different reasons, and it’s not always have a proffit on the trades. For example, we trade on a time window based, and daily profit/loss comes if we were better / worst than the average price for that time window, generating an execution alpha.

Alpha decay only exists in arbitrage opportunity. People take the losing walk of a strategy and call that alpha decay not knowing its just random variance from the beginning.

So are you saying I shouldn't study statistics and become a quant researcher? I'm still retail trading on the side although it is way more sketchy. But I am pursuing this and I have the math for it
