Sidelinooors didn’t buy the bottom because it seemed too risky, then didn’t buy the trend because it seemed too risky to be the top. Sidelinooors didn’t buy the breakout because it could be a fakeout, too risky. Then didn’t buy the retest because it could be a breakdown, too risky.
Sidelinooors treat risk as a bug to be fixed rather than the price of admission. Sidelinoors keep adding complexity trying to get the return without the pain, and they end up shifting the risk somewhere they can't see it until it blows up.
