My edge isn't what I thought it was

[d08]

I've been saying that, 'I don't know why they call it trading, they should call it waiting". Everyone sees the same chart you see, that is no edge. You have probably been just getting lucky. Trading & Exchanges by Larry Harris helped me recently. Trading smaller also has helped with confidence. GL

This is true for any business and makes no sense. Just because it's visible does not mean everyone can see it.

Promise not to seek excitement in stocks. They say motorbikes are more fun are way safer than stocks anyways.

Seriously now. How do trading index options solve the anxiety problem ?

No risk of early exercise, cash settled, monthly expiries, surprises are very rare and my strategy can handle a 10% drop. As the whole world mostly trades market trackers, indexes are always liquid.
