I would take the idea further, that profitable retail traders are profitable, in large part, because corruption exists.

Not that they are engaged in corruption, but that any patterns they find primarily exist only as a result of the corruption of others.

It’s a working hypothesis at least.

I think it's the market makers and algorithmic traders. Not sure if they are corrupt. When things get famous the retail traders come in and the algos drop off and then the market makers start futzing over the arbitrage.
