Re: Hi from a new trader

That's great to see all these people employed, but the final result is what? measly 10% annual return? And the rest of their income in from bank fees? I'm not saying I'm a great system developer, just a simple trader who still has mountains of things to learn, but I find it hard to believe an institution can rake in beyond 20% consistently based on systems. Bruce Kovner's hedge fund is one I know has been doing well except this and last year. Are systems as complex as these can still bring in superior return? That's the question that piques my curiosity.
