trading is not much different than poker, someone must be +ev and the other are all -ev
I see that you don't have a clue what trading is actually about, lol. I don't know about poker, but if markets are efficient (no arbitrage opportunities, no insider trading), and all traders have equal access to the same information sources, there cannot be even theoretically such a strategy that would give you +ev. If someone is winning, he is either just lucky enough or he can somehow arbitrage the system. And just because some traders can actually do that (e.g. have access to insider info, can front-run other traders' orders, etc), the rest of the gang is bound to fail in the long run...
There is no Holy Grail (for everyone, lol)
so you say that i don't have a clue, and then you say that you don't know about poker? this is fucking hilarious, i think it's you that you don't know about the difference between the two
You don't have a clue about
trading. I say nothing about poker (except that I don't know anything substantial about it). That's why I talk
only about trading, not about the difference between the two. It may well happen that in poker there are winning strategies, though I pretty much don't care...
But you seem to have failed to realize this
i have a clue about trading and i said to you that it's akin to poker, now you seems to not know about poker, so how can you even think about understanding the difference? pointless discussion
and based on what especially you say that i don't have a clue, if not about the fact that you think it's not similar to poker but again you don't know shit about it lol, which was my only argument there btw, utterly no-sense
btw the thread is not about arbitrage but about trading, read the title
Arbitrage is
necessarily a part of trading, your words prove spot-on your lack of understanding, your incongruent failure to see the whole picture, lol
Or your hideous hypocrisy (just in case), wtf
again pointless argument, trading in general is not arbitrage only, it's about trading you do on exchange and the gain come from your skill not from already established profit opportunity, arbitrage is another thing even if it is a form of trading we are not talking exclusively about it
you point is moot again, poker is much more akin than arbitrage to trading itself, but oh wait you don't know about poker, so again uselesses discussion just for spamming no-sense
