Disliked{quote} the biggest advantage traders like we have is the small size we trade , a good short term trader can outperform any of those big funds …you can scalp profitable with 20 lots , the same strategy wont be profitable with 1000 lots sooner or later the profit you make will reach a maximum as size increases and then start to decline because of limited liquidity in the market so you are comparing apples with oranges in a way..Ignored
when you are big you have different edges, when you are small you have different edges (if you calculate result in percentage).
it is not like with fast internet connection against slow internet connection, where fast is always better.
the good thing is, there are always advantages and disadvantages, edges you can use and what you cant use because of your size (to have same percentage performance).
as retail trader with only some 100k account balance 100% each year should be possible with small drawdown when you are already consistent profitable after many years.
as bigger fund manager you will have 20% a year (when you are very good) and are very happy with this result.
