Because they short when the price has been going up for 5 minutes

>>1000351
they dont senpai the huge tradingfirms like goldshekelsachs and jewpmorgan do with their algos and human sacrifices

>>1000351
They don't

>>1000351
They don't try to do some weird subset of high frequency trading but not really high frequency.

I assume forex? Just open a short and long position on a highly volatile pair, just keep selling and buying as the price swings up and down. ez pz or you could just go buy a lottery ticket

"cut your losses and let your profits run". rite :^)

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

You are literally trying to battle against multi-billion dollar ventures run by expert traders employing supercomputers to do this shit.

How do you think you'll be able to beat them?

We all know you don't really do anything, just answer the phone, hear either 'SELL!' or 'BUY!' and then you enter that in your compooper.

Most don't.
Many try and trade before they go to work, or sneak it in while they're there, but this mostly leads to disaster.
I've been doing it 6 years with no other job; it is most definitely not easy, and I've only been profitable 4 of those years.

Where did I state emotions are brought into it?

Someone better tell my bank account I "don't know what I'm doing".
