    2k to 20k

    1) you may be confusing your long MA strategy with the markets general profile (historically has moved higher over time); what you’re not thinking about is the large drawdown risk, it is essentially the same risk as buying and holding 2) prices don’t mean revert in shorter timescales because...

    That’s not true and is also not consistent with some of your trading tactics (“buy breakout, sell breakdown”). Prices are mean reverting between informational events, but *you* do not know if price holds information (of subsequent flow). Most of the moves in the market are not things you can...

    How do you avoid buying at the high and selling at the low of the day?

    you’re losing money because there is no trade there lol. You’re just gambling and don’t have an actual source of excess returns. Seeing breakouts on charts is not gonna help you lol. If your goal is to capture the return of intraday momentum, then you need to conduct a deeper study of it (hint...

    Another “what’s your edge” thread
