You underestimate the ego injury an L to Iran would give someone like 🥭. You also underestimate the kind of people in his ear. He's surrounded himself with Z and apocalypse types. Hopefully he just dips out, but I dont see it.

It’s extremely hard to backtest if you are incorporating the order book, level 2 quotes, and order speed/velocity on the time and sales into your entries and exits.
Traders are also naturally tuned to the current regime in a way that backtests often underestimate. If the VIX has been > 30 for the last week, and has been <20 for most of the last 2 years, then a back test that equally weights market behavior from the entire < 20 regime and doesn’t account for the current high volatility is likely to fail anyways.
Whereas a trader can start the day knowing volatility has been high recently, and they plan on adjusting their strategy with X, Y, and Z to account for that.
Backtests can be very valuable, but they’re also limiting what you can practically account for without an extremely heavy setup.

Maybe those Gen Z kids should ask their grand parents...

They should actually just k1!! themselves then. If your kid is in Gen Z, then you should have known better than to have them 

Y’all will be blaming boomers even though not very many have Gen Z kids. Time to shift your blanket hatred down a generation if hanging onto it is so important to you.

Even some Gen Z have boomer parents, ugh

I’m a 45 year old millennial with 4 children 2 Gen Z two Gen Alpha.

Even as a Gen Z myself, the amount of people in my generation who are financially irresponsible and proud is astounding

Gen Z are largely the children of Gen X. Millennials are 30-45 and most don’t have adult children yet.

Two-thirds of parents say their adult Gen Z kids still rely on them financially for support—even though it's putting them under strain

To all the millennials and Gen Z who deposited money today to buy their into 401k’s at the close your WS brethren thank you.

Should write with Z next time. Great to have you bro

Z shaped indicates that there is a portion of people with nothing but majority of the people are doing good.
You are looking for mirrored Z

If you the K shaped economy is bad, you should see the Russian Z shaped economy

Thanks for a thorough response. I totally understand your reasoning, especially the idea that the practical scope of the survey defines the expected geographically bound typical respondent given the distribution method.
I guess what I am trying to explain is that “nontraditional” -although it may be a commonly used market research term- is not actually a neutral term. It is a term that is loaded with discrimination because it presumes a narrow perception of the reader / respondent and that perception is based on a cultural, and geopolitical basis.
I am not trying to accuse you personally of any ill intent because I totally understand that the term is an industry standard, I am simply pointing out the many ways that that term is problematic in this context and that perpetuating an inherited term does harm.
There are many examples of this kind of language that are inherited as norms in the areas of marketing and business - one of my favorites and most comical is going shopping and seeing a section reserved for “ethnic foods and spices” or “ethnic hair care and beauty supplies” which is a term used to imply non-white, but simultaneously ignores that white people have ethnicities too, so aren’t all the goods being sold “ethnic”?
There is an easy solution here, scrap the term non-traditional and instead define the scope explicitly and without a presumption of the readers’ perspective - in this case “new, non-European, less common in X,Y,Z markets” or whatever you choose.
Because, you are right, this conversation does say a lot about the way I am interpreting things, but that’s how racism works, the groups being discriminated sets the terms. So, if there is an easy solution on your end that prevents people from being marginalized, why not apply it?

Quants provide a valuable service** to the market, such as liquidity, or price discovery, while Day Traders do not. Quants don't make money randomly moving money around. Day Traders try this, and they are customers, and they pay in expected value to take liquidity in the bizarre ways that their charts tell them to.
In other words, Day traders typically have no edge, while quants do.
**Example 1:** A classical "quality" or "value" factor is the construction of a portfolio by systematically reading in all 10-Ks and 10-Qs of all companies in the universe, and based on back tested methods (or sometimes the belief of the quant about how the world works) building a world model that says a company with X growth Y earnings Z balance sheet, etc, etc, is better than one with a different set of parameters. This kind of portfolio construct *is* price discovery. It utilizes a vast swath of important information about companies to price securities better.
**Example 2:** A wide range of trades, from auction scales, to providing liquidity in the book, to longer term providing to mechanical rebalance flows such as index rebalance, are fundamentally about providing liquidity. Service lies at the core of these trades. They are not randomly moving money around for no purpose.
***Please don't ask me about what service HFT provides.*

Gen Z and millennials shall continue to run circles around boomers.

The truth is nobody knows for sure. I started investing a month or two before the Covid crash.
For a new investor seeing the investments drop everyday is tough.
I’d say just start as soon as you can and get a global etf such as VT or V/X/Z EQT in you’re Canadian. Try to get a broker that you can set buys on a schedule so you’re not always looking at the prices.

Gen Z is so lame tho.

I’ve been investing for 2 years now. Currently, I manage a $20,000 portfolio diversified across various financial instruments (stocks, crypto, and local assets). My total ROI over the last 24 months is 97% in USD terms.
I’m not a "finance guru" or an influencer. I’m a developer who actually understands the math and the discipline behind money. I’m now developing a financial literacy platform to help Gen Z and university students avoid the common traps and actually build wealth.
I don’t care about marketing or "hacks" right now. I need your professional perspective on the product logic:
The "Discipline" Problem: Most people my age quit when the market is red. How do I build a UI/UX that reinforces long-term discipline rather than just showing "green candles"?
Cutting Through the Noise: How do I position a legitimate, data-driven educational tool against the "get rich quick" influencers who promise 1000% returns in a week?
The Complexity Gap: I manage a diversified portfolio, but most beginners are overwhelmed by the word "diversification." How would you simplify the transition from "saving" to "multi-instrument investing" for a 19-year-old?
I’m building this as a serious startup (MBD Novus). No links, no promos. I just want to talk to people who have actually built or managed wealth. What am I missing?
