Trading is easy

The Jan selloff was simply because the market "got ahead of itself" nothing to do with inflation fear. The S&P was up 58.04% from prior swing low in a little less than 2 years. Time was up once new money flowed in, like always, in early January.
 
now that volatility is back, I can add some thoughts as several wanted real time.

the sell-off today is like a delayed action. also the trade war story has already been proven bogus once, with new high in June. so, if it looks bogus, it is bogus. fxcm long/short ratio has moved towards neutral - so near term a secondary sell down is quite possible... as we still have 1-2 weeks time before the earning run starts, so right now with the trade war talk it's a perfect time to shake for a few days.

there is no buy/sell calls... the idea of 'calls' is fundamentally wrong... a individual trade that may look like a buy on itself, but when it's put in a portfolio it may not fit... everyone's portfolio is different.
 
I wouldn’t say trading is easy. It kind of gives the impression that anyone can come in and start whipping up giant gains. I believe a lot of it is driven by people’s perception and capabilities. It may come easy to some while it may be beyond the comprehension of many. But it definitely doesn’t come to you overnight. Moreover I think trading in itself may not be much of a task but how well you do it now that can be a tough nut to crack. Consistency of profitable performance is not something everyone can accomplish.
