In this Thursday Trading Thought we’re going to consider the demise of price-based edges.

With the explosion of computing power, more and more resources are being deployed to analyse the markets.

Edges that used to work are being eroded away or destroyed as traders from all around the world get to work analysing the same sets of price data.

If everyone is looking at the same price data, is trading based on price alone enough, and if not, then what is the solution?

We pickup the conversation discussing changes in the markets over time.

Lower drawdowns and improved trading performance?
