this is kinda dumb. your choosing when to enter or exit the market with no news or any other information about whats going on in the world at the time and it loops through a year so fast you have to make a decision in an instant. it is simply not realistic and doesn't really show anything about how the market or trading works.

  1. people usually vastly overestimate their knowledge of the market
  2. there are plenty of people who think they can just judge stocks based on previous performance and "line on graph"

yes but this does not show that.

If you know what a single greek letter means financially, i can assure you that you will never make a single dollar day trading.

Or 4 million in an instant. Highly depends. Even a blind elephant can remember to nut twice a day

this does not give an example of that though. day trading is a whole nuther beast vs regular trading. its actually why I think every stock transaction should have a very small tax to discourage it.

That's interesting, but only go after the high volume traders. Keep the computers at bay, because those are the ones that are sucking our life force.
