%% Every body can trade/more so than drive a car. A blind person could still trade over the phone. Depends on what kind of trading; some is very close to predictable, say over 10 years. Thats fine DCC, average trade= 46 weeks; may want to average 46 days or92 days=Less drawdowns/trainwrecks. In addition to50 weeks average also or a bit more for dividends.............................................................................................................
I guess blind person can drive a car too because anyone can just turn the key and press the gas? If you don't include a proper measure of success in the definition of being "able to do something", it gets silly quickly. True, predictability increases, but most people would call 10 year holding periods investing, not trading. It is almost a completely different world. I do quant trading and have spent many years acquiring the relevant know-how. If I were to switch to 10 year holding periods I would have to throw it all out and start completely from scratch because literally nothing I do has any relation to that.
%% I see your points/10 years/20 years is not my main trading/investing trend period. No not really driving when a person is blind. BUT any blind or[ 20/20 vision] could trade off end of day\end of month radio or TV quotes=is my point. Assume they[ blind or 20/20 vision] knew how markets work while they could see or someone helped them.......................................................................................
Hey just out of curiosity, where did you get the idea that this is "the process"? Is this a ritual a lot of guys these days think they need to do before trading real money? I'm genuinely curious, thanks.
