Obscure Edges, Outsized Alpha · James Chen

EP 231 | Obscure Edges, Outsized Alpha · James Chen
James Chen is an equities trader and a partner at Sydney-based fund BlueLake Partners. Furthermore, he’s a heavy-hitter who operates on a different level to most…
For well over a decade, James has been discovering edges and developing trades that the typical trader would consider as rather obscure. And for that reason, we’re fortunate to have James on the record-being able to learn about how his brain ticks.
Our interview starts with James telling how he cut his teeth trading retail, then how he exploited a loophole in an ASX trading competition, won and got hired. Next, we discuss trades surrounding index rebalances and dual-listed stocks, and lastly, James imparts with comprehensive thoughts on finding alpha.

[@tradingpoker1324]

Great. Has any guest or trading author talked about a "window of opportunity" in which to enter a trade ? Whether it's based on time or price. Example : you have 30 seconds to enter and you need to get filled been this 50 cent range for correct Risk / reward.

Aaron's voice audio balance is off in this video. With headphones at a reasonable volume it's painful to listen to.

Warrants are dirty underhanded manipulation and a leftover relic from when we actually had interest rates. Your whole podcast is Big money talking to itself I don't understand why any retail trader would listen to you
