ImThour’s TA is to astrology as quantitative finance is to astronomy.

Can you just stfu now? Spammed the whole thread with your stupid posts about you getting fucked for using leverages and not going the safe route with just holding BTC when you don't know shit about Trading? I am done with you and your shit.

I am accustomed to receiving such complaints from low-IQ illiterate anthropoids, ImThour. So as for you. Nevertheless, I am amused at your terrifically eloquent allegation that I “don't know shit about Trading”.

Folks, compare the timestamp on ImThour’s whine with the timestamp on this:

Low IQ Finds TA = Astrology

I want to make it very clear, I am not encouraging any kind of TA or day-trading strategies!

TA is astrology. (And doubt that anyone could accuse me of low IQ—not that I care. Cheers to ImThour for his savvy buy, but his forum account personal text is nonsense.)

I am not worried about newbies getting burned experimenting with what I meant by “Real Quant(TM)” stuff—because they can’t. For instance, here is a screenshot from a tiny part of one page of one academic research paper in the vast field of mathematical finance—I found this some time ago, when I first got curious about how professional market maker bots work:

LOL, I am not worried about newbies getting burned messing with that!

If I could get wrecked playing with margin, then moon-eyed newbies have no hope whatsoever!

So, how the bloody hell did I, of all people, get into this mess?

It did not all happen at once. I started with little risks, which blew up into huge risks. I made a very few bad decisions, which I could have easily avoided; those in turn necessitated other bad decisions, when I was caught in a perpetual entanglement of dilemmas with no good options, no way out. Trapped. Desperate. Under pressure.

If it could happen to me, then newbies are lambs to the slaughter.
