I think a big distinction that retail traders need to come to terms with is that, while yes, technically you can make reasonably good sums of money with various trading strategies of various risk profiles, as one person, so many of them are just not worth the trouble.

If your passion is this sort of thing, by all means, go ahead.

But it's like running a homelab. Yes, you can get pretty decent "savings" (vs running in AWS/DO) but I can guarantee you, you will end up in the basement replugging ethernet cables trying to figure out which one is the bad one while your family and relatives are waiting upstairs, fairly bemused, for you to fix "the internet".

It's possible, but as a person with a life, unless it's your passion, I'd recommend just not. Do the financial equivalent of paying DigitalOcean 5 dollars a month: buy sp500 etfs and sit on them.

I wonder if we can invest in a fund manager who does this strategy. And if it's so good then why do pension funds and endowments not allocate to it typically.
