The discussion here is this. What's the clarity or visibility of this concept on a scale of 1-10 ? looking at how dip, fluctuating and complex the market is which makes it very difficult to have a precision of the market these days.
Or could it be that such person(s) just run into constant luck at most, in addition to data's within their reach
Maybe you could rephrase your question because I wasn't sure where you were going with it.
I think no one can accurately predict market movements all the time, so we've seen stocks rise and fall and we've seen different asset classes outperform or underperform at different times. So it's very hard to predict any of that. And I think in a lot of ways the more we get into a liquidity or quantitative environment, the more difficult that is because you do have a lot of factors that you can't control. Sure, some traders make a lot of money when you have the right position, but you also lose a lot of money when you are wrong.
That's the irony of this whole thing, there is no way to, I think, be successful as a trader all the time, because there are so many factors that we don't really control. But that being said, we are still learning and finding out what works and what doesn't and I think one of the big drivers of how volatile this market is right now is because so many traders are trying to time the market.
