96% of traders lose money trying to time markets. That's not a scary statistic someone made up, that's just what the data shows consistently. Institutions have bots, algorithms, and access to Robinhood's order flow data, meaning they can see what retail traders are doing in real time and position against them. It's not paranoia, it's just how the game is set up. Dollar cost averaging isn't exciting but it beats getting chopped up trying to catch moves that professionals with superior infrastructure are actively fading. Trying to catch a falling knife feels brave in the moment and looks terrible in hindsight almost every time. The edge retail investors actually have is patience and time horizon, two things algorithms can't replicate.
