I don't understand the "huge financial capabilities argument" Here's why: Even if someone only had 0.01 percent of the capital the fund managers have they could stay in the position when a bigger player couldn't if they averaged down slower, at better spots and/or didn't use so much of their...

Maybe your observation but again based on your statement (believe you even said "not knowing themselves") this would likely be emotional intelligence / quotient not intelligence quotient (please forgive me for not using acronyms I've been kindly requested not to use them).

I mean it's a well known fact day trading as your only source of income is one of the more difficult things to accomplish consistently year over year, but it's also clearly and objectively not impossible... so there's zero value in this study, unless you're looking for entertainment.

Okay, I will refrain from using them in the future.

It is logical, but you have to know how to find the logic - that's the hard part. Also, even if you tell people the logic and how to make money. Emotions / EQ come into play and that alone is probably an even bigger reason as to why people fail as oppose to strategies / etc.

This doesn't really make sense. So, if you're "averaging up" that would mean you have some mathematical edge or advantage that allows you to know when you should average up..... Yet you're assuming people can't have a mathematical edge or advantage in when knowing the time to average down...

EDIT: Not in the mood for a debate.

If you mean in a negative way than no, I don't think it actually does - although when I first thought about it seemed like that might be logical. "Think" isn't a very strong word, but I have no actual evidence to support my claim, so that's about as strong as language I can objectively use. I...

While a little out there and kind of conspiracy like, I could see and wouldn't be surprised if there is manipulation against retail to some degree... however even if there is, it's only momentarily or for very small amount of time. I mean even your own statement agrees with this just to a...

Come on guys, NQ is over its highs, you know people are shorting ES...... Micro E-minis coming soon..... you'd be surprised how many retail people like to short. Add in the mental fact that they can double and triple down on there micro e-mini short to average in and still be under a...

Well see overbought isn't as reliable as oversold. That's why people think it's not effective way to view the market. You cannot reliably calculate how many sellers are in a setup and markets are naturally bullish bias so if you're going to short or use overbought you need exact...

I wasn't being an apologist as I stated or at least that wasn't my intention, I edited my post as to avoid a discussion as I know how these go, so I was going to bow out. I was merely stating that history has proven that nothing goes on forever and needs to reset, crash or have massive...

yeah you got it, that's the one. I just use a more simple name for it, like they say keep it simple.
