That's good for you, but your tone is a little self-congratulatory here.

Not everybody's mental model of the world matches how events play out. It's a hard problem and a lot of folks conflate ideals with reality. It's also hard to see the big picture if you focus on certain aspects. It also doesn't help that not everyone plays with the same rule set.

Sometimes the more you know the harder it becomes.

It's hard.

Yeah that means absolutely nothing, you could have made 10x more bad trades in the same time. I'll "ask you" as you say when you have a proven strategy, not a simple lucky call.
