> Jane Street sued Millennium, Schadewald and Spottiswood in April [2024], claiming the two traders had taken an “immensely valuable” trading strategy with them. It later emerged at a court hearing that the strategy involved India options and had generated $1 billion in 2023 profits for Jane Street.
1) How do you approach mlp? They don't just give you an account, they have risk officers, compliance officers, and general strategy due diligence.
2) If you manage to get past it, what then? Say mlp just asks some superficial questions and sees the dollar signs. Are you going to do the same thing? You have to think the compliance people will complain, surely?
3) So maybe the strategy they actually approached with was a parasitical strategy? If you know which stocks will be bought and sold by JS, maybe you do jump in first? Especially as you'll know particulars like when it happens, which stocks are selected, and how to spot them.
Maybe they do have teams running prop style strategies but I would guess that if you snapped the book at a given second you'd probably miss the alleged secret sauce.
Crazy eh
Need to ask my mlp friends lol
