why no veteran agrees if trading is simple of complex?

in total

I felt that profitable was implicit given the context.

 

Yes. Trading is very Complex. If it were so Easy....all of society would be happy, laughing, having sex and constantly be buying things.

That's not to say trading is necessarily difficult or impossible, but it definitely requires a relatively unique individual who understands the roundness and intricacies of the game image painting framework

 

So in summary, with over 50 replies, trading is simple, trading is complex and everything in between.

My solution is to compound asymmetric bets on exponential underlyings. Because I am dumb as fuck. Check the barbell portfolio.

Compounding + Optionality + Exponential is Convex.
It's easier than being concave & smart (& poor).

The more you add convexity / (+) nonlinearity,
The easier it becomes to win in the end.

You don't have to capture every tick to make it.

 

If you are not profitable, what is the reason?
What are the profitable traders doing that you are not.

 

But in the end I'll be too old to appreciate my winnings.
