The Wicked Problem of Trading (matthewscheffel.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I wrote a farewell to the thousand plus hours I spent on trading

I traded futures in my personal account, worked for a small trading firm, and have always been into a rational, scientific look at evidence.

I gave it as good of a try as any retail trader can, and learned a lot. Mostly that it's a waste of time, because trading is a wicked problem.

This is a plea to others that might get sucked in to run away and touch grass instead.
