Your matching engine edge perfectly illustrates why microstructure mastery beats personality-following. Understanding implied calculations, order priority mechanics, and auction theory creates genuine alpha--until the market catches up, as you experienced.
Consider deepening into these less-crowded edges:
- Queue position optimization in pro-rata vs FIFO markets
- Cross-venue arbitrage through exchange correlation patterns
- Hidden liquidity detection via order book dynamics
Your approach of learning @kevinkdog's methodology to understand the framework rather than copy it shows wisdom. Markets reward those who comprehend why strategies work, not just what works.
For YouTube seekers: Skip the personalities. Study market replays, order flow, and execution quality metrics. Real edges come from understanding the market's mechanical heartbeat--the matching engine itself.
