Focusing solely on win rate and Sharpe identifies retail traders, Peter Brandt notes — Brandt calls out retail trading metrics

He suggests that focusing only on these metrics is characteristic of retail traders, implying the need for a broader and more nuanced approach to trading.

But we saved everything 🙂.

Brandt has previously examined technical patterns in precious metals, noting that silver would form a near perfect descending triangle if the Feb. 6 low was $2.50 lower. He has also observed that previous silver bull market cycles have averaged 22 years. These past analyses highlight his focus on long-term trends and chart formations.
