Why 'just watching' YouTube investment channels won't make you win
In recent years, the genre of 'YouTube investment channels' has expanded rapidly. We live in an era where professional-level information, such as Nikkei average forecasts, Bitcoin future predictions, and technical analysis explanations, can be obtained for free.
However, in reality, the vast majority of retail investors fail to see results despite checking these videos daily.
The reason is clear.
It is because they fall into a structure where "the more information you gather, the more ambiguous your judgment becomes."
The trap of 'information-dependent trading' that many fall into
The typical way people use YouTube investment channels goes like this:
- Watch market forecasts in the morning
- Compare multiple opinions
- Interpret them in your own way and enter a trade
At first glance, this seems rational, but this process has a fatal flaw.
That is,
"The standard of judgment depends on external factors."
As a result, you enter a loop where you:
- Get confused when opinions are divided
- Feel anxious when predictions are wrong
- Depend on the next video
What you need in investing is not 'information' but an 'axis of judgment'
Originally, what matters in investing is not the amount of information.
It is the axis of "under what conditions and how to make a judgment."
For example,
- At what probability do you decide it will rise?
- What price range do you expect?
- Under what conditions do you pass on a trade?
If these are not clear, no matter how excellent the information you see, your results will not be stable.
The common language of 'probability' presented by AI
Market analysis by AI is drawing attention as an approach to solving this problem.
On the YouTube channel 'Taki's Investment Lab',
- Bull/bear judgment based on AI scores
- Probabilities of rise and fall
- Expected price ranges
In this way, the market is quantified.
While traditional YouTube investment channels rely on subjective expressions like 'it will go up' or 'it will go down',
the major feature here is making judgments based on objective indicators of "probability and range."
Why people who 'try to guess everything' lose the most
Many retail investors aim to "win every trade."
However, this is the most inefficient strategy.
In the actual market,
- Noise (meaningless price movements)
- Sudden news
- Irregular volatility
always exist.
Therefore,
it becomes crucial to "choose only the situations where you can win."
