EP 279 | Front-Running News Flow Trading | Saad Filali
Saad Filali, worked for Goldman Sachs, specializing in Mergers and Acquisitions, then left and became a Trader. Understanding the thinking and trading styles of the many different market players is key to his trading, including those of institutions, sell side brokers, CTA’s, retail, and meme stock traders. Studying how they trade the volatility and news releases helps Saad to predict market movements and calculate suitable entry and exit points in his trades.
Saad now manages his own fund, called Fiat Elpis Macro Fund, and relies on news flow and research. He looks for discrepancies between market pricing and fundamental valuations and considers the impact of different market participants.

[@marekmizerski234]

So much knowledge, I need to listen to it once more

[@dontseki6730]

Hi chat with trader's. Can you please,please,please! PLEASE JUST INTERVIEW A MAYBE 3 TO 6 FTMO & THE 5%ERS TRADERS. THESE ARE MAINSTREAM PROP FIRMS FOR RETAIL TRADERS. THANK YOU

[@annunakian8054]

Insightful interview. Along with PCE there will be earnings reports from MSFT & GOOG. I wonder if markets will still rise if earnings are bad.

[@chris0000924]

Loved him until i heard his "tds"

[@KamilMauel]

Almost any major macro news in the recent years moved the market however it wants. Regardless of the actual print and the expectations. Front-Running is a mere coin toss.

[@Mike343ful]

You're making a case for his approach. Except it's not a coin toss

[@libertarianspirit]

He has good insights but his European education made him yet another arrogant statist who thinks government should decide who can and who can not trade. I'm glad I escaped European socialist swamp.

[@saadfilali8912]

Not governments, ideally well meaning technocrats. Markets should serve a higher purpose than just leverage enabled speculation. See housing issues in oz/us/canada... Otherwise the whole thing becomes a farce.

[@SkellyGamingCreates]

Dude scalps news catalysts without technicals, charts or level 2. Don't think I'd trust a blind guy to fly the plane and get me to my destination safely.

[@saadfilali8912]

L2 is totally worthless in the age of citadel and virtu. Charts are no altitude meters. Neither are valuations. I ve been doing this for years now if they were of any reliable help d use them :/

[@SkellyGamingCreates]

@@saadfilali8912 Not true. If you can read L2 or the DOM properly then it's not useless at all! I would simply not day trade without it.

[@q-q-qiah]

@@saadfilali8912do you trade off news too?
