The Work-From-Home Trader Who Shook Global Markets

For the nonsense you posted because obviously others believe it as well.

Link for what lol.

 

Saros vs Machine,

Saros wins !

 

The size of trades mentioned in the book is ridiculous. Is he a good trader, or just someone without any risk management?

 

What were you doing on August 4, 2011? Our erstwhile hero made $4,100,000 trading futures from his childhood bedroom.

Bought and read this whole book and I am still not sure I get it. A bit more a crime tale than a trading tutorial.

Was he a cheat? Or was it a necessary software bump to compete with high speed traders? And was he ALWAYS a scalper? A 1 - 3 hour hold on a trade is swing trading to me in futures.

 

Apparently his broker “limited” him to a max of 2,000 contracts. OMG

 

The ISV that wrote Sarao's front-end enabled Sarao to show size up to 50x his actual size.

 

i'm talking about his actual trade size. still very large

 

he should have made a lot more money with the size he was trading.

 

He piled up $75,000,000 by his early 30s.

 

Got the book end last week and read it over weekend. Worth the twenty or so dollars.

Spoiler alert: Sarao wasn't presented as the sole cause of crash.
