So, for SURE it is possible to beat "the market", but:

- strategy is limited up to max 1mio per account (well, maybe 2 pr 3)

- you need a tailored software, tools like MT/et al wont help you

- with a leverage of 5-10, its possible to achieve gigantic returns

- system needs to be capable of going short as well

- your individual application should abstract-away all dauly charting&news noise: what counts is statistics and propability only, do not check CNN et al

EDIT: - this approach cant be done by ANY institutional corp due to regulations, so they are not doing it

Can you elaborate on the regulations preventing corp implementation here please?

Sure, thanks for this question!

In case of public funds:

Depending on the jurisdiction, funds are allowed to invest only in certain securities, like stocks or bonds. In most countries, they are not allowed to use all available products; esp all products which offer high leverage (and highlosschances) are not allowed for institutionals.

A private prop trading company may do it, though they are not managing billions (as the pension fund in the article); and those prop traders in reverse can not that easily attract "other people money"
