For me 2022.
Did you do better trading in 2023 or 2022?

Same here. 2022 was actually my best year so far. 2023 is a really bad year for me. Hopefully 2024 will be better.
2023 far better than 2022 for me. In 2022 I went into the rabbit hole of trading 10 second bars etc. with a lot of tick data backtesting (which was also very time consuming). Now with concentrating on higher timeframes in 2023 it is much better.

Will not happen next year and likely will not happen next 25 years based on history.
Not sure about that. Did it in 2020...
I took a beating in late July/August and wasn't bullish enough in late October a
Time and time again, .many professionals who take other people's money underperform the averages and collect a nice fee for it.
Should they too all quit and let their client just buy SPY?
Lots of people just stuck it out in t-bills and money market funds.
If you hedged and didn't go bearish enough in late July and didn't go bullish enough in late October then you would have likely underperformed.
Most of us are amateurs just trading our own acvounts.

2023 definitely
I had some problems with cryptos in 2022, and I quit them. The market is way too volatile.
I took a break in 2023 and worked on myself more than my trading skills. I worked on my personality and weaknesses.
It was definitely better.

I reshuffled my trades at the end of 2022 and 2023 I turned mostly investor for the year, except for very occasional opportunities I just couldn't miss.
As usual, I measure my results against my high risk, all stocks, Fidelity 401k plan and... came far short of its +46% for the year. To put it in perspective, it broke the ATH last reached in early January 2022.
As for my investments, 2023 has been about recovery from the mayhem of 2022. Cut crypto losses in half and returned to single digit profitability with TSLA by trading the dips.
2024 is a bit nerve wrenching listening to intense expectations from both bulls and bears.
