    In 2004 [a big investment bank I worked at] had a high frequency liquidity taking FX strategy where the only signal was order book imbalance, and it made *a lot* of money.https://twitter.com/quantian1/status/1376901887245615110 …

    Sometimes I think about how incredibly easy it was to make money in finance 20 years ago and get mad. Like six people knew what convert arb was! Insider trading was legal until Reg FD! If you could write fifty lines of C to trade treasury futures you made twenty million dollars.

        crypto is probably the closest equivalent of that now (though who knows how long that will last). a few years ago it was trivial to trade across exchanges for substantial profit.

        In 2010-13 I crossed our dealers (5 of them) in the sov CDS market daily. Couldn't lose and they wanted our biz so nothing they could do. Cash cow

        One of the reasons I'm looking at the DM-y Asian countries as a side project. As much liquidity as you'd like, but a massive difference in sophistication compared to the US. Still some prop traders trading massive size by drawing lines on a chart and filling orders manually.
