I was wrong about trading for three years.
I thought if I could just predict direction - up or down - I would win.
More charts. More indicators. More news.
I got better at predicting. My win rate went up.
My account went down.
I didn't understand. I was right more often. Why was I losing?
Then I got access to anonymous trade data - 500 losing trades.
Here’s what the data showed:
"In over 60% of the losing trades, the trader predicted direction correctly."
Read that again.
They called the move. Price went where they said.
And they still lost money.
How?
That’s the question I stared at for an hour.
The answer isn’t leverage. It isn’t fees. It isn’t bad luck.
It’s something most traders never consider. Something no indicator will show you.
I wrote everything down(.rar) - backtests, academic sources, mechanical rules.
