I would never have figured out in 5 years what they were able to tell me in an afternoon.

Trading is not complicated, it is simple.
It's a contradiction imo.

There's a couple of things I think are piss simple, that could've been explained in 5 mins. But you'd have to be very lucky for a trader to do that.

I came to trading thinking a simple breakout strategy, would work everywhere - cos of the natural flows to pre-race. Suddenly when we look a bit deeper, we realise - we might not even need that framework, & there are certain races that are just straight biased. We can arrive & back it, we can arrive & lay it.

You can't spot that if you look generically; which I define as complicated

The OP has made 17 posts and yet has a knack of creating posts that cause masses of philosophical/strategy debates on here! :)

Sorry OP about the drift to poker. Like all gambling, after 40yrs there's a lot of tales to tell about shoulda woulda coulda. And knowing how many people who trade have also played/play poker, I opened a bit of a Pandora's box. :D
I coulda been a contenda! :(
