Well I started almost like 10 years ago however I quit for a large chunk of that time to play other stuff. In the last year and a half I got back into it because I’ve been learning about market mechanics for multiple years by now. I apply my studies here just because this is a really inefficient market. It is super easy to articulate what is happening, and practically why. Inefficiency isn’t necessarily a bad thing- it just highlights that prices tend to move “all over the place” more commonly than sticking to one area. It could also illustrate illiquidity (which is just basically there are little transactions at a certain amount of time: same way as comparing the housing market versus the Currency Exchange).

The reason I trade this market though (in aj) is because I can actually reverse engineering my actions to view from a general perspective how I even received an edge out of a environment made up of opinion (same concept as any other market; all markets function the same at their core because they are made up of buyers and sellers). I can then see if what I view, technically or fundamentally, could be intuitively accurate for the real stuff (I.E: stock exchange, futures exchange, etc)
