If you are a market/maker mover you of course do not try to forecast market moves because you create them. To make money you try to forecast how retail will respond to your moves to get their money. So many don't get it due to lack of SITG. #trading #hedgefunds

The entire market ecology has a tough time adapting to the end of cheap (even free) money, with cash flow, rather than "valuation" being the central focus. Those who entered finance after 2008 are, basically, unskilled labor.
