    I agree with you. B1S2 could do his strategy and also add your suggestion. The major priority is to STAY in the market...... (this could mean for ANY segment of profit as well). A related priority is to BE on the right side of the market. B1S2 forgoes this for some periods of time...

    Which games resemble the game of trading the most?

    There are many ways to make money. personally for me; I am very risk adverse. So I pick up my marbles and leave the world of chance. Where I wind up is in a paradigm that deals with pool extraction and it mostly feels like doing plumbing. I do not think that edges keep a person in...
