When you trade you benefit from chaos and instability in the markets, but most people panic when sat on the other side of that. Also, when trading, you can fix your liability but your returns are not fixed.

Out of interest, why have you not included lethargy? Pre-race, it seems massively prevalent - participants are consistently slow to react

I guess one of the issues (especially when it comes to education); each trader will have a different definition of "trend", "strong", "weak", "chaos" etc.

There are loads of biases in the pre-race markets. I think that's why I've stuck to them as my core markets for so long.
