Quite right about identities < It'll never happen. I'm a trader way more than an investor.
And there are no perfect identities in the material universe..>

Just yesterday after another minor blunder I decided I should slow down and make every action a perfect action. But when organizing a mental process to create that perfect identity for each outcome, I rapidly ran into an insurmountable problem. I would have to move infinitely slowly to cover all possibilities, which means that before my decision making was complete about my next minuscule move, the Cosmos would have rendered me irrelevant and recycled into nano particles.

So I have decided to continue without perfection, but perhaps a closer approximation to it, without grinding to a halt.

In the same way, your 'trader' identity is probably so approximate that your imperfect trader identity might overlap with my oil = gold theory, which itself is not a totally perfect correlation, as laboriously explained some time ago, but near enough for government work and hauling rocks across Outback Oz.

Meanwhile, my accuracy of 4 significant figures for the price of gold for the last 4 years is probabilistically impossible [or very unlikely at the very best] but nevertheless true [near enough - with only 3 weeks to go].

The way I calculated my gold price predictions was by buying petrol for my car, [among other things], on the basis that petrol = oil = gold.
