We proved this only to evolve it and disprove it via standard deviation outlier outcomes in the twoplustwo forums, circa 2006. The work ethic the young men displayed through their understanding of the flaws is impressive and I encourage them to focus on uncorrelated results and an assumption that time fools us all, and deduce from those the inverse of the problem presented.

Can someone summarize this

There's a quote from a well known quant which boils down to "you can't capture 100% of any trade simply because of physics. At a certain level the heat produced by the electrons being transmitted in the cable submitting/carrying your buy and sell orders will impact transmission and processing times and therefore alter your returns."

Macro vs micro
