If you want to gamble, where should you go? Memecoin "trading"? Prediction markets? Casino? I tracked 44 million memecoin trades, 21 million Polymarket bets, and the odds of the top online casino games. Do what you must with this information.

This is why you should not trust anyone who posts strategies on here. A strategy can look great with a high profit factor and winrate, But nobody mentions trial count, DSR, FDR or OOS performance... This is how a great backtest can fool you. Learn the basics of statistics.

How much information do you miss out by only trading OHLCV candles? One minute of a liquid US stock is thousands of trades. A candle keeps 5 numbers I kept all the data, and compared to regular charts, forecasting the same returns Is more data better? daru.finance/alpha/tick-data…

Support and resistance levels mean nothing. On a random chart, plot RANDOM lines, and it WILL look like valid levels. Why? Support and resistance are nothing but confirmation bias. All of the lines in the video are random. Test it for yourself, link in the comments.

Your strategies have a shape. Almost nobody trades it. Turn how each pair moves together into a distance and they fall into a map: crowded middle, thin rim. The shape of your strategies might contain valid information you never considered using. daru.finance/articles/topolo…
