It was a follow-up to the one I just read, which is, however, these days we're much trickier.

We program the algos to avoid the same pain, quote, get me out before I lose too much money, unquote.

We can claim to follow the rules, but the result can be the same. And I think that's what we're doing

and are susceptible to these days. When I was a young trader starting out, I sat in front of a
