Massive orders to neutralize their positions and just collect
the fees, for the most part (winning on the actual trade is just
gravy). When you have "portfolio margin" you can get
absolutely NUTZ exposure and long as it's neutral exposure.
They use algos to measure your risk which sets your margin
instead of hard and fast rules used for standard margin accounts.
Even the market makers follow the same margin rules (they're
supposed to) but imagine if your game is getting paid to make the
market so a broker can collect commissions without risk....how
large you can get with say a 1 billion dollar account that you are
constantly maintaining at delta neutral without hitting your margin
limit? Incredibly large.
How do they do that?
Markets basically flat and lower VIX - Market makers killing ...
