The dissonance is strong with this one. I have tried multitude of times to explain that trading is not throwing dice. When you throw dice, you get a final outcome. When you open a trade you get a stream of outcome (which is not 0 or 1) and you are free to select the current outcome (close a position).

In its lifetime, your position is going to swing from negative to positive to negative multiple times. Emotions and naivety makes novice traders lose money on their trades while luck make throwing dice a random event.

In my opinion, people are just afraid to admit that someone else has a bigger dick (or tits) than him(or her).
