Opinion: Trading is boring and should be automated as much as possible. If you cut out the emotions of big wins (luck) and losses (greed), you are left with small amounts of profits and with only a fraction of your holdings you can ride the bull. for most traders even regular small profits are out of reach. they trade with too much, hoping for the big run that makes them rich. then they watch the screen for four years seeing their hard earned money losing value, and the hope of the 4 year cycle is all that's left. it may come or not but if it happens the bull run ends at their break even or a little bit above. their annual return isn't much bigger than buying big tech socks. pretty boring.
