So you actually started trading... after what... 7 years here?
I still have my doubts....

All that, and he missed "The Izzy Bottom Too" way back in 2020.

I have got to think that 2020 was the year that people blew the hell up. We had that huge drop in March, but by end of year it was positive? How did that not F bulls and bears alike?

You obviously missed the Izzy bottom then.
 
Not so much the call, but the hard-headedness that as things progressed, things would keep going up.

I know someone who was like that too. I say "was" as the final result was that he went broke and lost $10MM in just one open position ES.
First he started to average down his price. After that he received several margin calls. So he added new margin... till all margin was gone and the broker closed his position. At that moment the size of his position was 2,100 contracts ES ( in fact it was 210 contracts, but the jumbo ones at $500 a point, so 10 times the size of ES).

There are limits to the positive impact of hard-headedness.

I understand that Buy1Sell2 is well aware of thet risk and has limited positions.
 
My God. That was a strong trend day higher to close the quarter.

Did anyone else feel that the markets changed this week? Slower pace. Slower volatility. And buy the dip seems back in vogue with only shallow retracements.

Should be interesting to see if this continues or if we'll initiate a new leg down once as have been the case for the last 1 1/2 years following these rallies.
