"why is the obvious not so obvious" "the chart of deception" Also I started one called "trading & boxing", which can be understood if you first study expectancy, position sizing, and worst case scenario loss (sometimes simulated as "monte carlo analysis" A light bulb also went on when I started backtesting every possible idea I could code on tradestation. Here is the secret: The Market exists for buyers & hedgers (sometimes known as producers). You, the trader, provide a valuable service to them.... *edit* losing traders destabilize The Market and if they have a lot of money they can even prevent it from working at all (basically any government intervention does this slightly), which is why The Chart of Deception is there and also it helps that every bubble is usually in a different asset than the last, unless several years (and losing traders) go by. They need to be wiped out for The Market to continue functioning. 80s brokers and specialists knew all this by default because they had to answer all the phone calls......
%% True; meaning i agree with that '' FALSE quote LOL'' Plenty of profitable swing/position investors/traders/investors/ETFs. Even more so in an upTrending bull market. NOT a prediction, not suitable for all investors.
