I tell a Wall Street true story about the time I encountered an insider trading whale in my early years as a new quant trader.
We were an options market making trading firm, so it was expected of us to provide liquidity and take the other side of speculator trades at the right price.
However, when a whale is behaving strangely and willing to pile into a position at any price, is there a reason to suspect insider trading?
