TradersCALM feels that those in harmony with markets will find it easier to make money and with low stress.     This is a minor state of bliss.

Most traders, perhaps unwittingly, trade persistence of market movement.     Such traders tend to call themselves trend followers, momentum players...     They were not fully in tune with the way, for example, the DOW Jones market operated in the twentieth century.

Analysis of DOW Persistence for 20th century.

So what do these results mean for trading?     As the majority of traders are currently trading persistence, the majority of traders are not fully in harmony with the markets and tend to lose money or at least find making money difficult.     The minority who use volatility based trading styles are going to be favoured by the market behaviour either not losing much money or finding it easier to make money.

Should the majority ever move to trading volatility, trend following styles will probably then be favoured by markets.     As the existing majority of traders (unwittingly) trade persistence, 50% p.a. compound returns are going to be few and far between for the majority of traders and relatively common for volatility players.

Trading is effortless and blissful when you are in harmony with the markets.
