'Time in the market' indeed a fundamental truth but would be loathe to give up the trader's most powerful tool being 'frequency of trade'.
Problem with trading it gets a bad wrap because the group is largely made up of humans and we all know how emotionally flawed those things are, little walking universes of greed & fear.
Most traders overestimate reward & underestimate risk with increasing frequency of trade, not a recipe for success.
Some would suggest successful traders do the opposite, they underestimate reward and overestimate risk and use trade frequency as intended to optimize low risk return over an extended time period.
Anyway, am sure everyone has an opinion on this so just my 2c worth, probably worth a cent at best.
